Where I've traveled while teaching in Kuwait

By Maddy Loubser

Teaching in Kuwait with ACA has opened a lot of doors for me. To travel the world, was one of them.

I come from a country far far away from the rest of the world, and coming to Kuwait has made it easy to travel. Kuwait is neutrally located on our world map, and flights are cheap, and always available, to just about anywhere! 

I have visited many countries in the Gulf region on long weekends, many of them as a solo-traveler- such as Bahrain, Oman (a must see!), Qatar for New Years, Dubai for Thanksgiving. I hope to attend the next Formula 1 championship in Abu Dhabi this December! Traveling to these countries is easy, because it is close by, and since we already have the Kuwait civil ID – visa requirements are minimal to none. 

Apart from that, I have been to 18 other countries in the world, including Egypt, Turkey, Lebanon, Georgia, Armenia, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Reunion Islands and many more! 

Our long, paid summer breaks are a great incentive, as well as an opportunity for you to see the world! 

Part of the fun is coming back to Kuwait and sharing travel stories with colleagues, as well as having missed Kuwait after leaving it for a while. The world is really your oyster from here!
