CELTA is like travelling. You have a guide to listen to.

Sometimes you want to explore things on your own. You can follow your guide's advice and be taken to places.

Sometimes you just need a rest from it all and just drink your coffee in a cosy cafe. When you get lost you might ask people for help.

You also have a map on your phone. Sometimes you're scared to go to places you've never been before and do things you don't usually do...

But it's all part of your travelling. It's up to YOU :)
