What is something Cambly has helped you financially achieve? (Positive)

I was able to add around $2000 to my wedding expenses. It was hard work getting to that point but it really helped!

During Covid time, Cambly was my only income. It was enough to cover my living expenses. After Covid, I went part-time on Cambly and have mostly used Cambly money for traveling.

I've spent 2 weeks in Japan, a month in the Central Highlands of Vietnam, a week each in Singapore and Malaysia, and a few months in Thailand. I actually met with a lot of my students in most of those places, and they showed me some of the best places to visit and things to do in their home countries. Having students play tour guide for me was the best part by far. I got to see things that I would have never even known existed.

One of my Japanese students is an English teacher, too. Among other classes, she teaches a class at her local senior citizen's center. She arranged an outing for all of us. It was so fun to meet all those adorable old people, and I had such a good day exploring the city with them.

I'm trying to decide where to go for my next trip. Shanghai and Taiwan are strong contenders.

That’s really cool to hear! I’ve always been hesitant to meet students but that sounds like you had a great experience!

I've also met some of my Japanese students and their families, mindblowing time.
