4 Reasons Why Teaching English
                Abroad is a Great Idea
 If you're on the fence about Teaching English Abroad, here are 4 reasons
    to make that decision and do it! Teach English abroad and make new
            friends, experience new cultures, and get paid for it.

If you've got an adventurous spirit and a whole lot of passion, teaching English abroad
can be a great way to indulge yourself -- and do something amazing for other people, all
at the same time!

Want to learn more?

Let's start by going over 4 of the reasons why teaching English abroad is such a great
idea:

1. You'll get to see the world -- without spending a fortune

If you were to pick up and head to Asia for a few months or spend a year in Latin
America, you'd wind up spending thousands and thousands of dollars to do it. But,
instead, teaching English overseas gives you the chance to see the things you've always
dreamed of -- and get paid for it!

Once you're certified, you'll be able to teach English overseas in all corners of the globe.
Because people in virtually every country want to learn English, you can wind up
anywhere from Taiwan, to the Ukraine, to Spain. No matter where you go, you'll be able
to experience a new culture and see things you only thought you'd get to see on TV, and
help your students learn one of the most popular languages in the world.
Imagine the adventures you'll be able to have and the stories you'll be able to share
when you get back!

2. You'll get to do some learning of your own

Sure, you'll be standing at the front of the room as the teacher, but when you teach
English abroad, you get to be part-student, too. Your students will teach you about
their local customs, tell you about hidden eateries that offer the best food, and let you
know about things to do that are so far off the beaten path that you would never have
read about them in a travel guide!

3. Getting certified is easier than you think

You don't need a college degree or formal teaching experience in order to teach English
abroad. Instead, as long as you're over 18, you can learn everything you need to in an
accredited 150-hour program. That way, you don't have to spend years and years in
school before you can go out and make a difference!

4. It's an amazing resume booster

Teaching English abroad gives you a chance to give people the gift of English -- and, as
an added benefit, it makes you more marketable to employers later. After all, your
experience teaching English abroad will show potential employers that you can head
into a brand new, unfamiliar situation and thrive. It also shows that you love a good
challenge and that you're devoted to the things that you do day-in and day-out.
