Hello,

I've been lurking for some time, reading and discovering, thanks to everyone who has taken the time to share their experience. I am looking to teach English somewhere.

About me - 46, female, Canadian, native English speaker. I also speak French in case that matters - not great, but decent. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology and a Masters of Science Degree in Creativity (creative problem solving and innovation). I have a 100 TESOL course as well, and I am seriously considering doing the CELTA.

On my wish list are:
1) Good job/employer - companies/organizations to check out would be helpful
2) Warmer weather - many Canadians dream of warm weather year round
3) Walkable - I like to be able to walk to/from work and any where else I might need to go on a regular basis
4) Large enough that I would have an expat community to draw on
5) Reasonable safe for a single woman

So far I am considering Zhuhai, China; Queretaro, Mexico; and Vietnam as possibilities. Any place else I should consider?

Any thoughts, comments, suggestions - especially of cities or employers would be much appreciated.

Looks like China is popular. Any particular part of China or organization? If I remember correctly in China it's best to apply direct to the institution /organization.

Visit the Mexico forum for opinions on Mexico, many posters there never wander into other parts of the forum. (Keep in mind that the Mexican peso has had a very very bad year--making it great for Canadians, unless you are trying to earn pesos!)
