Can we get one of these?
Where have you taught? Was it worth it?
I'm currently thinking of chilling in the Philippines for a month or two before going to teach in South Korea. My problem though, is that I want to just up and do it when I'm done my vacay but I hear it's a stupidly long process, like up to 4 months. This seems insane. Anyone have experience with hiring processes? How long did it take?
It varies.
Apply for job that starts around the time you want your holiday to end. Bring all the shit you may need for the job on holiday.
I heard Korea is a lot of bother to get in to these days... I know people who are US-based that are having to get FBI background checks for their schools. (Maybe that's only the international schools though and no-one cares for hagwons?)
Check that you don't need to do it at the Korean embassy in your country, too. It would be shit if you had to fly back home just to get the visa.

I'm going to go to the Korean embassy where I live and report back on what they say.
My big goal here was to just leave whimsically and stay floating around travelling for a longass time, but that can only be possible if it doesn't take a big long hassle to get into new countries while I'm abroad

I taught in sk. Pretty much all schools require an fbi background check and it has been that way for a while now. Make sure you dont get a shitty school. Do your research and ask to email a teacher before taking any job.

fbi?.. what if I'm Canadian?
kek, I'm the opposite. Training to be an English teacher in the UK and want to move over to teach in America.
