I’ve heard a lot of good things about teaching in Korea and the pay while you are there, but this glorious cherry on top about the alcohol…me thinks I have a game plan.

I just got back from teaching for a year in South Korea and can highly recommend it. I was in Seoul teaching for a middle school. I went over with students loans and got the chance to knock a huge portion out of them from the excellent pay I was receiving.

Depending on which route you take (I went public school) you can make a great living with what they pay you. The people are so warm, the environment is beautiful and the food is delicious.

Highly, Highly recommend looking into this route.

Oh, I also forgot to mention this: alcohol is dirt cheap and flows like water over there. I do assume you like the occasional drink, right?

Wow! thanks for the info and tips. I will be sure to check out the site. I love the idea of a location independent business where I can make all the money I need while traveling I just have to figure out what I'm good at that is a marketable business and start rolling with it. Other than that I don't think I can help the planning aspect, it keeps me dreaming and it keeps changing. However, I'm a over plan then go with the flow kind of monkey so I don't have to stick with any one plan.

My advice is to open up to the great unknown and let the Universe shower you with abundance. the thing is that if you focus on scarcity that's what you will get. Stop thinking about what you don't have, what you owe, will it pay.....

Look at all the amazing things the world has to offer and you will start to receive big time. You could develop an internet business and have everything paid off before you go. Focus on that and on travelling to experience.

Don't plan your travels too far ahead. You need to travel around for a little while before you find what suits you. Be flexible.

Having said all that, I would look at Bangkok. It's fun, cheap, lively and close to some amazing places.

Have you looked at tropicalmba.com?

Thanks, I'm really excited. I'm unsure which direction I will take by then but I figured the best place to get some quality input is from fellow travelers. I'm excited about possible future explorations, I even met up with someone who might become my Japanese tutor, yay! Thanks for the tip on connecting with Eric, I'll have to send something his way.

Hey there, If you do consider South Korea, connect with Eric Bynum on FB, he is living there now and teaching English. You can ask him more about what to expect and maybe even get you into the network early. When I find Eric's twitter Id I will let you know.

You are planning early so I'm confident that you will figure this out by 2010.

Best!!

Interesting! make sure to let me know what your thoughts of Korea are if you make it out that way.

I've heard Korea is a pretty good place to teach English. While I haven't done much research myself, I'm working with a couple at the moment who spent three years off and on teaching in South Korea.

You don't need a certification, only a degree - which is nice. Also, you can make approximately four grand a month, and live on far, far, less. Also nice!

I'm in New Zealand at the moment, but I'm beginning to think Korea is next. It would be a great place to be based and do some travelling around Asia. Plus, it's an excellent opportunity to pay off loans and the like.

I would love to visit China, although I have a fighting chance with my Japanese not at all with Chinese lol. Especially since each providence is so different in their dialect. Thanks for the tip though, I may have to check out some opportunities.

South Korea eh? I'll have to really check that out. I know there are lots of opportunities because I often get emails offering me jobs, didn't realize it offered such great financial opportunities.
