New Photo Contest: The Street You Live On (All entries win free premium membership!)

May 16, 2022

How is the street you live on??

Is it interesting to look at? Inspiring to walk on?

Maybe it is full of trees and greenery, or maybe it is lined with apartment buildings that all look the same.

Where an international teacher lives is important, but you don’t always initially get what you are looking for…your dream neighborhood.

But some international school teachers luck out and find the perfect area to live in which matches their hopes and dreams.

Even if it is not on your dream street, wherever you live often becomes your home. And when you live in a certain area for 1+ years, that area creates many fond memories of that time in your life.

At ISC, we are really curious to see the streets our members are living on. The next time you leave for or come back from work, take a picture with your smartphone of the street that you live on. We’ll have a vote and then chose the top 3 photos that are the most interesting to win the photo contest prizes!

Photo Contest: Best Photo of You in Front of your School Campus

April 11, 2021

Many of us are back teaching on our school campus after many, many months (years?) of teaching remotely.

For many of us, we are quite happy to be back on campus. Most students are also very happy that they can see their friends again and their teachers. Let’s not forget the parents as well, as it was a big challenge to work at home and also help their kids do their lessons.

Our school buildings play a very important part of the whole school community. It brings us all together to learn under one building/campus.

It is also very interesting to check out the different kinds of international school buildings around the world. Some of very modern and new and others might be housed in old buildings that have been repurposed.

At ISC, we are really curious to see where our members are working (and what their buildings look like) as we move back to teaching on campus. The next time you go to work this coming week, take a picture with your smartphone of you in front of your school building. We’ll have a vote and then chose the top 3 photos that are the most interesting to win the photo contest prizes!

So, what is your best of you in front of your school building/campus? Submit your photo to us and enter our photo contest! All participants receive free premium membership to our website!

Summer Photo Contest: Your Best Staycation Photo

June 14, 2020

Let’s face it, so many of us just aren’t going anywhere this summer.

We kept waiting and waiting for the Covid 19 pandemic to leave us quickly, but that just didn’t happen. Even if the pandemic has slowed down where you are currently living, maybe your home country is at a different (worse) stage.

Some of us don’t even feel comfortable flying on an airplane at the moment. So now that some flights maybe exist to get you to your home country this summer, we’ve just succumbed to the idea that we aren’t going anywhere.

Your host country home is the place where many of us will be during the next few months of summer vacation. What will you do?!

At ISC, we are really curious to see what our members are up to being that many of us are stuck in our host countries this summer. As you lounge around your home or explore your host country a bit more than usual, take a picture with your smart phone of what you are seeing and doing. We’ll chose the top 3 photos that are the most interesting to win the photo contest prizes!

So, what is your best staycation photo?  Submit your photo to us and enter our photo contest! All participants receive free premium membership to our website!

New Photo Contest: Best Winter Vacation Envy (All entries win free premium membership!)

December 18, 2019

One of the best parts of living abroad is taking the vacation of your dreams during the winter holiday break.  Of course many of us go home for the holidays, and that is nice too!  Some teachers do a combination of going home to visit family and then taking another side vacation for some real rest and relaxation. It is possible that your trip to visit your family is also the trip of your dreams (well at least maybe for your colleagues that have never been there).

Once the winter holiday break starts, now comes all the photos that your friends post on Facebook and Instagram. Australia, Canary Islands, Costa Rica, etc. Leaving you maybe second guessing the trip that you actually decided long ago to do for yourself (and your partner/family).

So, if you are on one of those trips that is making your friends feel a bit envious, take a moment to participate in our new photo contest. Please note that all photo contest participants will win free premium membership to our website!

Photo contest topic:
The best photo from your December holidays that makes your friends, family and colleagues envious.

New Photo Contest: Your Favorite Local Grocery Store

April 26, 2019

Some might say that going grocery shopping in your host country is so exciting!

There are so many new products to look at and try out. Sometimes you get lucky and discover your new favorite local product.

But it is not always that positive when shopping in your local grocery store. Many times products will only list their ingredients in the local language. If you are not able to read it, then for some that means you probably won’t buy it. It is a shame because it is very possible that you will really love it!

There is also the local ‘expat’ grocery store. Maybe that one is your most favorite. Who wouldn’t love a place that sells products from your home country and from around the world? Of course, you typically pay a high price tag for those products. But expats love to treat themselves every once and awhile, don’t we!?

At ISC, we are really curious to see what grocery stores our members are going to in their host countries. The next time you go grocery shopping, take a picture with your smart phone of what it looks like; maybe of the employees working there or you shopping in your favorite aisle. We’ll chose the top 3 photos that are the most interesting to win the photo contest prizes!

So, what is your favorite local grocery store?  Submit your photo to us and enter our photo contest! All participants receive free premium membership to our website!
