what I'm looking for in next September.
I want to work in a country in Europe (prefer EU) that has decent (cheap) air connections to Ireland and the UK.
Also somewhere an EFL newbie (I've a couple of months p/t experience) will find work and will find the cost of living manageable against the wage (I'm not looking to earn a fortune).
Somewhere the government situation is stable (ie so I feel safe).
I'm looking at nearly every country but can't make my mind up. |

| Depending on your qualifications, I'd say Poland is the perfect fit for you by every one of those standards. |

Poland? Hmm. Would it be enough money that I could enjoy visiting my family in Ireland/UK or would it be flight home and then struggling to make ends meet for a bottle of coke? |

That little caveat wasn't stipulated in your original post 
I know some lawyers back in the States who can't afford to comfortably visit the places you've mentioned; never mind EFL-ers!
I'd guess that, with some qualifications (and depending on city), you could make somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 euro and be able to save perhaps 15-20% of that; this also, of course, depends on your lifestyle.
I'm no Poland expert, however, you'd want to double check...
Good luck! |

Latvia for example... with the right school you could get 600 GBP a month plus flat. Ryanair flights to UK/Ireland and you probably could save about a fifth of that if you didn't splash out too much.
Spain maybe 1000 euro a month outside the big two cities and a flatshare from 150, would be doable as the cost of living is low. For better salaries you'd have to try Northern Europe - Germany for example. Benelux and Scandinavia would provide good dosh but as a newbie you'd struggle to find anything. Other than that the best cash seems to be in Middle East / East Asia. |
