I'm in the wrong career! Do you think they'd let me tow along my own 2 kids too 
But seriously, that sounds like a great option for our OP as well. |
One of the posters here said they might. |

Are you sure that you want to teach
If you are a young single girl who wants to make money quick to travel, I'd recommend something like bartending instead, perhaps at a resort or something like that. I think I was making $40 an hour cash at 19 doing this!
I have nothing against young people teaching for a quick spurt but if it's money you want, and the freedom to travel too, then you might be better off in the hospitality industry. I made a lot more money then  |
YOu can make about 70 an hour being a nanny, governess, tutor in Moscow. |
Not just Moscow. I'm in the market for an English speaking Nanny--does not have to be a native speaker, just not a Spanish speaker. I pay a lot less than 70 an hour but it's Mexico, and great chance for a young person to experience the country.

This alone, in and of itself, will seriously hamper your chances of employment anywhere outside of Europe or Asia Minor.
The vast majority of jobs in Asia REQUIRE (immigration rules) that (in order to obtain a (proper) visa as an English teacher) you are a native speaker (hold a passport from one of: UK, USA, Canada, Aus, NZ (and some countries add Ireland and South Africa to that list) or that your English abilities are equal to that of a native speaker (IELTS 7 or above) and have the documentation to prove it.
The good news is that you can work anywhere in the EU as an English teacher with nothing more than a CELTA.
Yes, before some harpies chirp in, you can find work in China or with none of the above but you won't be doing it with the proper visa and there are issues working on a business visa (the simple fact that it is illegal) and if you piss off the wrong official you will find your azz in a Chinese detention center while they work it out.
In Thailand, (boots on the ground) you can find LEGAL work with an IELTS of 5.5 or a TOEIC of 600 go to with your DEGREE. It's won't pay well but you can get work.

Yes, on paper. In practice, you can get a Z visa for a bunch of schools. I've been teaching in China for two years with a regular residdence permit. |
