teach English abroad
start 7 months ago

so i graduate in august with a BA in history and a BA in anthropology. i’m going to need a job to pay off my student loans… i don’t really care how long it takes as long as i have a semi-regular income that allows me to incrementally get my balance down. but! i don’t want to get stuck in some shit job in the US. i’d rather take a shit job in another country! (at least for awhile)

i love traveling.

this morning i am in the process of signing up for a TEFL class in greece in october through via lingua. that way i’ll have a few months post-grad to scroung up some extra cash before the trip. hopefully being in europe after completion of the training will make it easier to score a job.

we will see! i make decisions like this on a whim all the time. this just seems like it’s really an adventure worth taking though. i called the boyfriend this morning to tell him my grand scheme, and he seemed interested but kind of half-heartedly (possibly because he knows how my interests shift so quickly). i’ve always wanted to go to greece though. always always. what better way than this? two birds with one stone.

Good on you!

That’s awesome! I’m 34 and have also wanted to do this for about the last 3 years. I have a friend in Spain, another in Japan, and yet another in Seoul, Korea. After researching Korea recently, I think I’m going to get me a job teaching English on the Island of Geoje. Check this out -
