Hello fellow travelers. I will precede my question by expressing my gratitude in advance. I know how helpful you guys are and have had many questions answered in the past. It is boards like this that motivate me to defend this site when it is scorned by those who know it only through the debauchery in most of the other boards.
My soul is restive and I cannot sit still for long. I have traveled to many countries and have found that teaching English is the best way to spend a significant length of time in a place while having the opportunity to learn about the culture, people, etc. I am hoping that with this thread, I can put an end to my indecision concerning where I should go next and maybe even find some advice regarding how to move forward.
I am interested in culture and beauty as it exists in, I hope you'll excuse the suggestive nature of the term but I can think of nothing else more appropriate, the more refined countries. I have been to countries in Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa but in all of them, there is that absence of development, not in the countries themselves, but in the people that deprives me of the pleasure I find in conversing and learning from cultured and cultivated men.
I have grown to attach great significance to this pleasure and am constructing my plan accordingly. I want to teach in a country where I will be surrounded by such people for the inspiration and intellectual stimulation they provide. This is why I have limited my destinations to the following: St. Petersburg, Madrid or a city along the south of Spain, Athens, or somewhere in the UAE.
I would love to have some accounts of experiences had in these places as I know little to nothing of them. I speak Arabic, a little Spanish, I was born in Greece, and Russia fascinates me; these are among the reasons, along those I mentioned earlier, that have led me to lean toward looking for work in these places.
