Your Affair with Your Sofa Ends Today – It’s Travel Time!

Rumours have been going round – I heard you and your sofa are getting just a little bit too cosy of an evening…  all snuggled up watching re-runs of rubbish comedy shows together, getting super close…

But stop! Is this what you really want out of life? For your biggest achievement to be the groove you’ve worn in the upholstery?

No one ever said on their deathbed that they wished they’d watched more TV, so today, you and your sofa are finished (just don’t dump them by text, that’s just harsh). It’s time for you to get out there and see the world!

Don't worry - they'll get over it... (photo: bcmom)

“Eh? How?!”

You don’t need endless riches or a fairy godmother to see the world. In fact, all you really need is a TEFL course. TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language, and as everyone from Buenos Aries to Bangkok seems to want to learn English at the minute, you can think of your TEFL certificate as your passport to great jobs all over the world. Contracts usually last from 4-12 months, so you get to know one place really well before moving onto the next. You can discover how to do it with this free eBook – TEFL Uncovered: How to Teach Your Way Abroad with TEFL.

“But I’m not a teacher!”

You don’t have to be. Nor do you need to speak another language. All you need to do is dump the sofa (they’ll get over it, don’t worry) and start your TEFL course. Once you’ve done your course, it’s just a case of deciding where you want to go, applying for jobs, and getting on that plane.

“OK, but what about my cat/job/friends?”

Your cat hates you. Sorry, but it’s true. Your friends hopefully don’t hate you, and will be there when you get home full of cool stories 4 months or 4 years later. Plus with the wonders of the internet, you’re only ever a Skype call away and teaching abroad will see you make loads of new friends. And as for your job… do you really like it THAT much?

“Right, so remind me how it works again…”

Here goes: (TEFL course + wanderlust) – sofa = your ticket to some amazing adventures abroad. Want more info?
