Hi

Bit of background before the question:

5 years Tefl experience overseas and in UK, BA but not in English, almost finished writing a Tefl book andwill try to get it published, speak another language.

So, my wife and I would like to try our luck in Kuwait.

We'll try to live the monk life, rarely venturing out of our appartment, if only to go to a restaurant or possible sporting activity.

Aim is to save �12,000/$16,500 in the course of a year.

Is this feasible?

Many thanks.

Easy, you'll manage it

But if you have some work experience, why not apply for a proper job and you'll make twice the salary. There are 1000s of expat position in Kuwait. Hell, even ex-infantry grunts pull in 1800Kd a month plus the usual beenies on the camps.

If you are planning to live like a monk then you are going to Kuwait for a money collection, why not spend your year here working working working and making proper lolly
