Many people choose to live and work abroad to escape the hustle and bustle of home, while others are looking for thrills and adventure. The Tefl world caters for everybody, from fresh-faced graduates to those looking for new experiences and change later in life. Beach Life Earning a Tefl certificate enables you to live and work in places others only dream of holidaying in. Feel the holiday vibe all year round as you spend your free time at the beach, island hopping, or simply relaxing in a hammock watching the sun go down on another fabulous day. City Slicker No matter where you are in the world, living and teaching in a country's large cities gives you more job opportunities and more options for additional income. Living and working in a big city gives you easy access to work and entertainment and offers creature comforts and a network of international friends. Culture Vulture Spending time in one country and teaching English to the local population is a fascinating way to immerse yourself in the culture and customs of that country.
