Chicago-native, Mike Murillo, spent his early career as a life coach and event coordinator for a children’s charity in the US. Seeking more adventure and wanting to fulfill his desire to learn about a new culture, he moved to Shenzhen, China and became an international teacher at an English First training school. If you’re considering making a move to China as a training-center teacher like Mike, tune into this show to catch a candid day-in-the-life snapshot of someone who has come before you. You’ll hear the benefits of Shenzhen’s proximity to Hong Kong; a quick list of some things you may want to bring from home; insight into unusual start-up costs after moving to China; and some advice for successful apartment hunting.

I’ve met amazing people here, eaten delicious food, seen beautiful sights and gone to amazing places. So even if it’s just for a year of your life, I don’t think you’ll regret moving.
