Living and working in a foreign country as an ESL/EFL teacher is much more than teaching and travelling. Stepping into the world of TEFL and deciding to explore the unfamiliar terrains come with a promise of an overseas adventure. It is a unique opportunity to navigate a new country, immersing in a different culture and becoming a part of the local community. It is not only about teaching English to a group of budding English speakers but taking them on a new journey acquainting them with a language and culture different from their own. With English assuming the role of global language, there has been an unprecedented demand for ESL/EFL teachers around the world.Teaching English abroad provides a great opportunity for TEFL aspirants not only to visit far flung countries and be acquainted with a new culture but to get exposed to a new world altogether. Teaching English is no more restricted to a brick and mortar classroom and it has broken all the physical boundaries opening the gate to new opportunities. All one needs to do is get certified in teaching English as a foreign language and then short list the preferred locations which will lead the way to unique explorations of untraveled paths, meeting interesting people on the way and expanding horizons both on the personal and professional arenas.
