It’s a big world out there, and when you teach English as a foreign language, choosing your teaching destination can be both exciting and overwhelming. Do you dream of the warm weather and cosmopolitan bustle of a major South American city? Or maybe the exotic allure of Southeast Asia?

But wouldn’t it be great if you could try a place out for a day and see what it would be like to teach there– to see what you might love about it, or wish you could change? Well here’s your chance! We stepped foot into the busy lives of three different EFL teachers in far-flung spots around the globe to get a taste of life from their point of view.
