Guess who's back...?
Ok, this is really as far disconnected from Lighter Life as possible... but I'm going out of my tiny mind and need some help/advice. For obvious reasons (as will become clear) my OH isn't really keen to talk about this, and I just want to be able to sound off...
SO... I'm leaving! Not LL, that's old news, heehee, the country! Woop woop!
I've resigned from my job, as of end March 09... am then having a month off to get sorted etc, and then buggering off.
The original plan was to go over to Canada and the US for the first 4-6 months... followed by back home to Mexico, and over to Australia for a longer stint again... BUT...
I've changed my mind.
US/Canadian working visas are a nightmare if you aren't a full time student here in the UK - so I've been wearing my thinking cap and have come up with the following idea...
I am going to go 'somewhere*' and study a four week intensive TESOL course, allowing me to then work my way around the world teaching English.
There is a site www.tesolcourse.com... I emailed them and have been booked onto a course starting in May in Phuket, Thailand... but the more I look at the website, the more tempted I am by one of the Spain locations (Barcelona, Seville, Granada), Prague in the Czech Republic, or Buenos Aires in Argentina.
I speak a bit of Spanish, so would like to get that going a bit too... just don't know whether or not to do the 'course' in Thailand (never been before) and then look to move to Spain for 'work'... or what... so confused. Thailand would be ace, but it is a very intensive course, so there is unlikely to be much time for lounging on beaches, riding elephants etc...
Does anyone have any advice? Please check out the site and let me know what you would do... where you would go (list of countries down the right hand side!)... particularly if you have first hand experience of one of the places!!
Thanks!!!
