Welcome to Jaz Beyond Teaching! I’m Jasmin, and I’m glad you’ve found your way here. After nearly two decades of teaching across the Philippines, Thailand, the UAE, and now Germany, I’ve gathered more stories and lessons than I ever imagined. These experiences have shaped not just my career but who I am today.

Jaz Beyond Teaching is a space where I explore the many aspects of my journey – education, expat life, personal growth, and everything in between. Through sharing my experiences, I hope to offer insights and inspiration to those who, like me, are constantly learning and evolving.

Explore what I have to share:
  • Education: From the classroom to real-world experiences, I’ll be sharing stories, insights, and lessons I’ve picked up along the way.
  • Expat Life & Travels: Life abroad is full of surprises – some thrilling, others challenging. I’ll share the ups, downs, and everything in between from my journey across different countries.
  • Mindfulness & Simplicity: The deeper I’ve gone in my journey, the more I’ve embraced the beauty of mindfulness and simplicity. I’ll talk about how this mindset has guided my personal and professional life.
  • Personal Growth: Join me on a journey of self-discovery and growth as I reflect on lessons learned, personal challenges, and ways to live a more fulfilling life.
  • Beyond Words: This section is a collection of anonymous poems – poetry that reflects on the subtle moments and deeper layers of life. This space is also open to others who wish to share their own thoughts, reflections, stories, or creative expressions. If you feel inspired, I’d love to hear from you and feature your voice here as well.

I’ll add new stories and reflections every Sunday. So, whether you’re a teacher, an expat, or just curious about a simpler, more intentional way of living, I hope you’ll find something here that sparks your interest.

Thanks for being here – it’s exciting to have you along for the journey!
