Should we stay or should we go now????????

We could stay here forever. Amazing people, perfect weather, easy enough job, beautiful house with a maid, saving money, learning the language, loving the travels..............so then why are we thinking of leaving. Maybe because we like to torture ourselves with challenge and change. But mostly because we know we won't be teaching internationally forever and as easy as it would be to stay here...we want to experience another culture and explore a new region.

I know it is only September and to most people it seems far too early to even be thinking about what we will do next September but here in the world of international teaching this is when we you have to start thinking and planning for where you will teach the following year. We will have to tell our director in November of our plans and we will need to start sending out applications in October which means September is the month for preparing.

Step one- throw a dart at a map? Well pretty much. We have a broad list narrowed down to Middle East, Asia or South America and maybe Northern Africa but we are open to suggestions.

The real reason for this post is to ask for your help.....if you are reading this and you know of anyone who taught internationally send us their contact info. In this world it is all about networking and taking advice from others who have been there and that is exactly our strategy so email us at thesalmonpeople@gmail.com

  1. Ummm...... how about teaching in rural Alaska, they always need teachers, they live a subsistence lifestyle, and pay teachers pretty good, if you don't mind crapping in a bucket or eating seal everyday.
