Is it possible to just go to Bulgaria and find a school to work for? Does having a CELTA certificate with you help? I realize the pay is REALLY low, but can you eat and buy a beer or two? And will they give you housing?

Most schools in Bulgaria will be more impressed by a university degree in English than by any certificates.

You could probably pick up something but do not expect an easy ride.
I am fortunate in that as a permanent resident I do not need a work permit.

If you find something, salary might be just enough to maintain life at a very basic level. Small towns are better than the bigger places, but in the bigger places,(Sofia,Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas) you have a bettr chance of picking up extra classes or private students.
