Well, we’ve scratched our heads and had a good think, and here are our top five picks for TEFL jobs that offer you the chance to head off to some rather exciting and exotic places.

Thank you for posting about India, this is my dream place to work and I couldnt really find a great deal of paid work placements in India. Im hoping to do a voluntary 3 months first via GirlGuiding UK starting in January and then move on and travel and teach. I will keep Kerala in mind for later on. :D
