hey you.. hv you started teaching? 

Hi Eve

I'm also a Yorkshire (North) lady in Switzerland, Im half way through the course & have been lucky enough to get a TEFL job in the Vevey area working with Primary school children & I am loving it.

Good luck with your course

Hallo Eva I myself have just started the TEFL course, I live in the Rhiental region of Switzerland.

I originally come from Liverpool.

Hi Eve,

I hear that you live in Switzerland and was just wondering if you knew how easy/difficult it is to get a TEFL job there? Do you need experience? I may be moving to Basel or Zurich next year and wondering if it's worth doing my TEFL qualification.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jenny

Hey, Yeah is love those details! Sounds like exactly the type of place I want to work too!!! Let me know how you get on there! Wow, you certainly will be living the dream!!!! When do you go?

Hey, ive decided to leave the october thailand internship- I want to do so much travelling afterwards that I want enough money to save before I go anywhere!! im hoping the motto slow and steady wins the race works but ive got itchy feet and cant wait to go! I saw that you are after a 3 month contract which is ideal for me. Have you got any advice on which websites to look for these? I'm just coming up with websites that look for teaching experience. Think im gonna persue the Asia dream, maybe try china or something and hope they do short term contracts! 

Hi, yeah think im definately gonna do it.  Do you know that if youve already done the tefl they knock money off the price? the price includes the tefl course.

what have you found in south america? wow, i'd love to go there sooooo much, I figured thailand would be a great place to teach first as everyone is so friendly out there, plus theres so many other places you could get to on your weekends off.

Where abouts in SA are you thinking of going? are the flights not loads more expensive than the ones to thailand?

hey eve, just wondering if your thinking of doing the ocober thailand internship? thinking of doing it myself and just looking to get in touch with others wholl be in the country around the same time.

Last year I back packed through thailand, cambodia, vietnam and Laos.  Totally amazing! I have to say Laos is stunning, however long you think you want to spend there, double it because you wont want to leave! needless to say thailand and vietnam are both amazing countries and Cambodia is different to them all but utterly enchanting! Plus, as a woman on my own I found them all really welcoming and safe countries (as long as you dont take any risks and keep your head on you!).

I'd also love love love to go to south america! total dream triip!
