My daughter and I are both TEFL teachers and it is a comforting thought that you can go anywhere in the world at the drop of a hat. The last time I was looking at jobs there was one on offer in the Galapagos Islands which appealed a lot. Iceland appeals, too, though I think they mostly already speak English there!

Africa

If cost were no object, Bali or Hokkaido would be my preferences. If I want to do it on the cheap, I've heard from a good friend Oaxaca is wonderful.

I'd also like to visit Amsterdam because reasons.

I toyed with the idea of saying England (for the irony), but it's (wait for it) really not my cup of tea.

I've been thinking about Portugal

Morroco..

Maybe Iceland

The Netherlands, or Sweden.

There is teaching online. I might opt to do that.

I have done it....no regrets at all.
Like Nike says...just do it !! ?

Apart from moving back to Australia, New Zealand or Canada would be my choices 'cause I'm too old and lazy to learn a new language. Specifically, the Pacific coast of Canada or Dunedin in the South Island. I'd like to live near mountains. Australia and the UK don't really have proper mountains.

I'd like to see Mexico, but I couldn't take the heat, so that's out. My advice, however, is to pick a country that has the same alphabet as we do. I spent a month teaching in Taiwan once upon a time, and it was stressful trying to get out and do anything, because I could not read a street sign or a shop name. I had to try to memorize landmarks and wasn't always successful at it. If you go to a country with our alphabet, you can look at a sign and check your little pocket or electronic dictionary for the meaning. If you are in China or Japan or someplace that uses the Russian alphabet, you're SOL.

I think it's a great idea. l'm not back long from a holiday in Spain where I met a young English couple teaching there. They enjoy their lifestyle very much.

Australia

I've thought aboout doing the exact same thing: there are lots of opportunities in Japan and China (and I have never been to Asia). I would love to teach English in Portugal, Spain, or Greece, but it's hard for U.S. citizens to get hired in those countries. I'd also love to teach in Argentina, Chile, or Uruguay.

You're there. One of those picture postcard little villages in the UK, You know, the ones where there are sheep walking through the streets. and the houses have roofs that need to be mowed in the summer.

I would like to travel for a year and then decide.

I want to go to Cuenca, Ecuador. It is close to the Equator, you experience all four seasons in one day. It is in a very beautiful area, and last time I checked was very friendly to immigrants (AKA expatriates). I have a FB friend from England who taught English in China for several years. He eventually married a Chinese woman. He is older than I am and has an adorable very young daughter, and they are all in the UK.

Japan?
