Has anyone on Tribe done this???
I've decided I'm bored and restless and can't sit still any longer.
I have for a long time wanted to explore the world but was always afraid of cost. Being a person who doesn't see a lot of value in possessions as much as life experiences think that this might be the best way for me to start on my journey.

any stories thoughts or ideas on the subject would be great.

Is this the Teaching English Overseas thing?

My sister did this in Japan a couple of years ago. She had an awesome time.

Yes Teaching English abroad is exactly what I want to do.
Altough I'm more interested in south american and African Countrys more then anything. I just found a website that tell alittle info on different countrys and how much cost of living etc.

Did you kow you go to the UK and teach it too. that one surprised me a bit.

Here are some good esl sites to check out:

www.eslcafe.com
www.tealit.com (for teaching in Taiwan)

I would recommend doing this to anyone.

I highly recommend the JET programme .

I'm currently an ESL teacher in Japan, and loving it. The job is relatively stress-free, I have loads of free time and opportunities to travel, and the pay is exceptionally good.

You need a university degree and applications are due in the fall to commence employment in the following summer.

Good luck!
