Teddy row teacher Gillian Gibbons has told a magazine she is hoping to secure a job in China.
The primary school teacher, who was jailed in Sudan for insulting Islam when she allowed her pupils to name a teddy Mohammed, has told Hello! she hopes nobody there will have heard of her.
Mrs Gibbons, 54, from Aigburth, Liverpool, said: "I've been to China on holiday before and loved it. I know I'm the most notorious teacher in the world at the moment, but I'm hoping that perhaps no one has heard of me there."
She added: "I'm driven to follow my dream of teaching abroad again."
The divorced mother-of-two was spared a flogging after a seven-hour trial at which she was sentenced to 15 days in jail.
After eight days she was pardoned when two British Muslim peers flew to the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, to champion her cause.
Her treatment caused international outrage, with British Muslim groups describing her treatment as excessive.
She has revealed that her passport is stamped "Deportee" and that she would like to return to an Islamic country at some point.
In the four-page interview, Mrs Gibbons thanked the peers, Lord Ahmed and Baroness Warsi, describing their efforts as 'brilliant'.
She also said she had been overwhelmed by support from British and Sudanese Muslims.
