2015年,獨自從台灣飛往英國。
2017年,結束2年悲喜交錯的日不落之旅。
2019年,短暫返英,參與 PGCE 中等教程面試。
2020年,疫情期間來到英國攻讀英語教學碩士。
2022年,返台隔離、完成離婚手續後回到英國。
2025年,持有工作簽證的第二年,開始創業規劃。
10年了,一路以來和各種挑戰奮鬥,關關難過關關過。
從2015年第一次踏上英國到現在,在這裡經歷的種種,都成了文字無法完全乘載之重(又或者,其實我一直都在寫著?)。
台英青年交流計畫簽證、學生簽證、畢業生工作簽證,一直到目前持有的工作簽證,以及打算在不久後送出轉換申請、讓我能重拾工作自由的配偶簽證⋯⋯
我自己從來不曾想過,居然可以在英國簽證這件事上拿了個近乎大滿貫,大概就差沒有挑戰創業人才簽證了。
心裡一直有著一把火,熊熊燃燒著「我想要施展更多、做得更多,看看自己究竟能做到哪裡」的渴望。
我想回應自己對學習與教學的熱忱,想把自己做成一個獨一無二、值得信賴的教學品牌,成為學生能透過文字和語言走向世界的引路人。
我的能教、能寫、能講、能影響,都不該被浪費,對吧。
My 10-year UK Journey
2015, flew to the UK on my own.
2017, wrapped up two unforgettable, beautiful, difficult years here.
2019, popped back for a PGCE interview.
2020, moved here again during the pandemic to do my Master’s in TESOL.
2022, returned after quarantine in Taiwan and finalising my divorce.
2025, now on my second year of a Work Visa, starting to plan my own business.
Somehow it’s been ten years. Ten years of challenges, difficulties, tiny wins, big leaps… and getting through every single tough bit one step at a time.
From the first landing in 2015 to everything that’s happened since, the stories I carry from this country are heavier than words can hold (or should I say I actually have never stopped writing?).
Youth Mobility, Student, Graduate, Worker Visa… and soon, a Spouse Visa so I can get my career freedom back.
I never thought I’d collect almost the full set of UK visas – the only missing one is probably the Global Talent.
I know there’s always been this fire in me. A constant push to do more, grow more, and see how far I can actually go.
I want to honour the major part of me that loves learning and teaching. I want to build something that’s truly mine – a brand people trust, something that helps students walk into the world with confidence through language.
My ability to teach, write, speak, and actually make a difference… it just shouldn’t go to waste.
