1) New surroundings

A change is as good as a rest, right? Well if that’s the case, a change to the other side of the globe will do you a world of good. Wake up in Thailand every and you could have tropical sun streaming in through your window every morning, or perhaps you’ll be in Japan, surrounded by a neon expanse of vivid colors. Wherever in the world you choose, you can guarantee that it’ll be different and more than a little bit exciting.

Fancy waking up to this view?

2) New challenges

Teaching English abroad is no walk in the park: even if you do loads of TEFL training, you’ll find that your first few weeks in the classroom are a whirlwind of students’ faces and lessons that may or may not go to plan. But if everything was easy, getting the hang of it wouldn’t be half as satisfying, right? Once you start getting to grips with life in the classroom, teaching is incredibly rewarding and, because you’ll probably be a conversation teacher tasked with games rather than grammar, pretty  fun too.

3) New people

When you head overseas to teach English, one of the mains worries will be whether you’ll meet any friends. Relax. Unless you’re heading to a remote village in outer Mongolia, you’ll most likely end up in a town/city with lots of other foreigners, who usually end up as a close-knit community. Plus, with your new-found English skills will come new-found popularity with local teachers at the school, who will certainly be keen to make you feel welcome so they can improve their English. And, if you’re really nervous about being on your own, take a look at i-to-i’s teaching internships in Thailand and China, where you’re guaranteed to be placed with at least one other person.

Cheers!

4) New experiences

When you think of having lots of money, it’s not the money that’s the aim, it’s the experiences it buys – so what if you could start having those once-in-a-lifetime experiences just without shelling out wads of cash? That’s what living abroad enables you to do – from relaxing in hot springs in Japan, to watching the sun set on idyllic Thai beaches, teaching overseas gives you a shortcut to thousands of incredible experiences. And the best bit? You’re getting paid to live there…
