Adventure travelers?

Travel Info
I love to travel and go hiking in the mountains and would like to travel further to see more...how do people have money to travel all the time to do things like this? Do they find jobs as they go?

Travel Tips

Dear mvarkonda, below is our standard program blurb, but it does cost money. I am an avif hiker and there are plenty of relatively unexplored beautiful areas in Yunnan Province of China or in the Kham areas of Eastern Tibet (I prefer the areas in Sichuan). Check out the pictures on the www.tnccld.org site (although they are a bit difficult to navigate). Teaching English in Kunming is an easy way to make some money if you are a native English speaker. Contact me if you are interested and tell me a little more about yourself. sam.mitchell@yahoo.com

The Center for Cultural Learning and Development, <www.ynccld.org>, offers programs based in Kunming, Yunnan which are culturally immersive and intended to give you a truly experiential learning experience in China. Yunnan Province is hands down the best place to be in China. We have 15 years of experience working with the School for International Training (SIT) <www.sit.edu >(follow the links to study abroad and then China). But, since you do not need academic credit and you may consider the costs of SIT expensive anyway, we have the same model through our center for students just like yourself (and much cheaper!). Typically, students study Mandarin Chinese and attend many lectures, usually outside the classroom, at sites related to the topics. Excursions to other places in Yunnan and elsewhere in China are provided, but individual immersion by genuine travel independently without guides, etc. are encouraged, as this not only allows (forces) you to learn more about China directly, but empowers you to be able to travel anywhere in the world independently. I truly believe that, regardless of how you choose tocome to China, through the Center for Cultural Learning and Development, on your own, or through someone else (try and match us). Kunming and Yunnan is the place to be. Read about it. And check out the sites above. The Center for Cultural Learning program is based on the SIT model, which my wife and I created in the first place At least you might enjoy some of my photos at the www.ynccld.org site, although the photos are a bit difficult to navigate. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Costs will depend on what you want out of your learning experience here. Contact sam.mitchell@yahoo.com or sam.mitchell@ynccld.org.
