About GlobeScraper

GlobeScraper is built and maintained by one person. My name is Jamie Blair, and I created this site because I wanted the resource I wish I had had when I first moved to Cambodia to teach English.

When I started looking into teaching abroad, I found plenty of flashy websites with vague promises and expensive “placement programs.” What I could not find was a single, honest resource that covered the practical stuff: visa rules, actual salary ranges, real cost of living data, and how to find a decent apartment without getting ripped off.

So I built one. GlobeScraper aggregates over 30,000 rental listings, publishes detailed guides on visas and TEFL certifications, and provides tools like an interactive cost of living calculator. Everything is based on real data and first-hand experience.

This site focuses on Cambodia right now. Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines are on the roadmap, but I would rather do one country properly than five badly.
