I just completed a 120 hour online TEFL course with LoveTEFL. From January to July, I'm going to be travelling around Eastern Europe and SEA, though I'm not sure yet which countries/cities/areas I'll be visiting.
While I'm travelling, how easy or difficult will it be for me to potentially find TEFL jobs along the way? If I'm in a country/city and stumble upon a job, I'd be happy to stay there for a while assuming I like the place. How likely is it for that to happen?
I understand that doing so wouldn't be possible in Western Europe (and that I'd need a CELTA), but is Eastern Europe more relaxed? I'm an intelligent guy with a BA and the TEFL certificate. I also have lots of experience working with children and a fair amount of teaching experience.
Also, TEFL general I guess.
Bump. Does anyone have experience in this sort of semi-spontaneous job hunting?
bump,this is a thing i want to do so badly
>>1038245
I can't really advise on job hunting, but you seem to be in a good place to find work with those qualifications and experience (although some assessed classroom experience as part of your TEFL certificate would be better)
If you're from outside the EU it will be much more difficult to get work spontaneously as you'll need to deal with visas etc. and employers would more than likely prefer candidates where that isn't necessary.

Hey /trv/,
I made a thread months ago about where it would be feasible to eat well and work out. You guys helped me narrow it down to Argentina.
So I want to go live there for like 6 months. Canadians get 90 days so I was wondering if it's as easy as doing visa runs to stay longer? I sort of try to avoid using up WHV's in case I fall in love with someone from that country/I get offered a ridiculously good job.
I figure I can learn there for a fraction of the cost and I was wondering if it's even realistic to find and english-speaking tutor that doesn't charge ridiculous prices for: singing lessons, violin lessons, dance (choreography) classes, learning german and/or Spanish, flair bartending. I'll be working out and eating well the whole time, as well.
What would you recommend budgeting?
I basically want to save up and go there to learn/develop new hobbies full time for a little bit. Can you guys see anything wrong with my idea?
I'd travel through Central/South America afterwards. I also have a job lined up in the United States and I guess I should just keep the American dollars because they're worth more on the black market/I get a discount by exchanging, right?
Sorry for all my questions...I hope you guys don't mind.
Hope you're all well!
The prices in Argentina are high. Money is inflated, but the prices are somewhat like everywhere else, because: import has still the same price, and food produced in the country has to be sold at the same price it would be exported, or the producers would directly stop selling in the land.
>>1037956
But how can it be more expensive than Canada? Assuming I'm not there to work and I'm coming with American/Canadian dollars.... How could my dollar not go way further than it would back home?
Bump because you might be me OP. I've entertained the same idea of staying in Argentina for half a year to learn spanish.
I thought their currency collapsed?
Hi. I am german, so please forgive my English. I'm planning to visit Russia. I will start from Vilnius, then Minsk, then Kaliningrad (former Konigsberg) and go toward Vladivostok by train. My goals are: Moscow, S-Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Yakutsk, Vladivostok.
What are your impressions of Russia? Someone was there?
I'm not racist, but i love to love some blond girls. Unfortunately, there are no blond girls in Germany anymore, or there are very few today. So i need to move somewhere. Best regards, german 1489

Did the USSR come back when I was out buying milk
>>1037802
No blonde girls in Germany.
Calling bullshit.
Excuse me, of course Vilnius is Lithuania today and Minsk is Belarus. But who cares? I think they kept russian essence
Hey, /trv/. I am going to Oxford next semester from Canada and was wondering where I should go on my March break. I don't want to spend a massive amount of money, but I want to go somewhere that would be fun for a short amount of time.
Not Britain.
>>1035665
Scots
>>1035665
Do you mean in the UK or are you willing to get on a plane?
You have very good airport access, so lots of cheap European destinations.

For food, just eat street food. If there are lots of locals eating there, eat there. There are some nice temples in Bangkok, make sure you go to them.
>>1028569

i've heard orf a full moon party ?
is it worth going to that ?
I've been to the obvious places in America. NYC, NOLA, Boulder, San Fran. It's a huge country, and as I continue seeing the country, I could use some help for when I'm in places like the midwest, or the north west south.
So let's have a thread for nowhere america.
I'm going on a roadtrip, and some of the states I'm having trouble planning my route through are Northern Alabama, Northern Mississippi, Arkansas, Western Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Utah. I enjoy day hikes, but I also love a good drinking town. What does /trv/ know of more or less along this route?
>>1035797
You are having trouble planning for Montana Utah Wyoming and you say you love hiking?
>>1035808
No, he said he LIKES hiking -- he LOVES drinking.
Hey, /trv/.
You were one of the only good boards on this site. A place where I got great information and the people are intelligent and well rounded.
Thanks for it all, I guess I'm getting a bit too old to be browsing a place where people post frog pics lol.
Hope you all get to where you want to be and feel content with yourselves.
To not make this an egotistical wah im leaving thread, hows about you all post your dream locations to visit one day in your life, like the Aztec ruins or Machu Picchu
don't leave
How old are you OP? I often wonder if I'm getting to old to be on 4chan...
Anyway, I'd like to visit Qatar

Also what's so great about MSP?
>>1035588
I think it's designed beautifully and efficiently. Plus all of the staff is really nice. For the local weather the layovers are minimal. Lovely surroundings upon landing. I haven't flown intercontinentally so my experience is limited to US, Canadian, and Central American airports.
I was sitting in a hostel kitchen, eating an omelette wrapped around some olives and canned tomato, only slightly more difficult to make than a sandwich, drinking a tankard of belgian beer (the only tankard in the kitchen stock), holding my fork and knife in the formal style, fork in left hand. I got into a mild back and forth with an American, and he became convinced that I was French. It wasn't an accusation, he just couldn't identify my accent and seemed to jump to this conclusion based on my accessories. Usually people mistake me for being Russian. I'm actually quite tickled by this, as I usually am by bad guesses about who I might be. I enjoy not being understood.
Mistaken identity stories?
You have a very strange way of writing. Reminds me of Murakami almost.
>>1031196
while in Syria, people regularly chanted "Death To America!" while I was around. Me, being American, purposely mistook my own identity on these occasions, and told them I was from Chile.
>>1031200
>Reminds me of Murakami almost.
Holy shit that's true.
i made a post the other day, but it done died. im trying to move to washington, oregon, or california. today, im focusing my research on california, but i will appreciate your suggestions and insight on WA and OR towns as well. if i choose CA, i want to be within 2 hours of LA, because im an aspiring actress. i know a lot of you will say "durr if u want to act u have to go to la" but thats not necessarily the case, because i just started and its better to start out somewhere other than la from what ive heard. anyway, does anyone know about any cool towns within 2-3 hours of la? im looking for someplace hip, unique, maybe mystical, artsy, with things to do and big enough to have a theatre, or with theatres in close proximity. what i really want is a place in or near the mountains around there, but thats not entirely necessary, just a big bonus. i really really really dont want anything boring or same old same old. i want a place that has a lot of personality and character. i will appreciate anyyy suggestions : )
>>1038864
Have a seat.....
>>1038865
lol. nah, im sure i wont go down that road. im not an idiot.

San Diego
Trying an experiment:
Were has /trv/ been, as a community? Here is a starter-map. It shows where I've been, List countries I need to add based on where YOU'VE been. I'll update the map every so often.
(I'm doing it at the country level because I do not want to get into "No, that fiddly little unlabeled district in Colombia is two up and one over from the one I was in..." I'll remove "trip planned" and the wish list on the first update -- this is ONLY where we've been.)
>>1039413
Im all down to do this OP but I opt that we use this map. Is it really correct to say that someone has seen the giant fucking blob of earth we call Russia just because they had a day trip to Moscow? There are so many regions so culturally different within the same country.
Post an updated pic and I'll contribute my experiences though, I just don't wanna do it by country alone.
Canada, USA, Mexico, Brazil,
Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland, England, Germany, Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece, Croatia, Hungary
Tunisia
Germany (Bavaria and Berlin)
Czech Republic (Prague and Brno)
Did everyone enjoy their Chuseok?
Wanna know what Chuseok is?
Don't give a shit?
South Korea general is here for you.
Chuseok was great. I got to see a drumband sweat it out in the midday sun.
ebin I was there by accident. what an inferior country
>want to breed some korean qts
>there are none because the country has an absymal birth rate
It's lower then the most industrialized cities in the world across the entire country, wtf.
What's the most poor and third-world country you have ever traveled or stayed in?
Spain
>>1036575
Detroit, Mi

Have you ever fallen in love whilst travelling/on your gap year/year abroad, or know someone who has?
Was it just a short and sweet romance? Are you still in touch, or maybe doing long distance or have even married and are now living together?
Tell me your stories!
I can say that I met my ex on a trip, because I smoked a blunt haha
I was with here for 3 years, cheated on me twice
I met my current GF on Erasmus. Currently we're in a long-distance relationship, we see each other every two-three months.
Erasmus is a bit like pic related. Everybody is far more... open than they probably would be at home.
>>1036189
Shit, sorry about that man. At least you know you're better off without her.
>>1036196
OP here, I actually made this thread because I also met a girl on Erasmus, haha. We're not exactly together though, and maybe I'll never see her again because we are so far apart, but who knows what can happen. :) Good luck with your relationship! Where did you do Erasmus btw?
