/in /by

Experience Dolce Vita at its best! Beautiful weather, amazing architecture, and world-class museums attract tourists from all over the world.

The historical center of Florence is Piazza Della Signoria, where you will find gorgeous and well-maintained structures such as Palazzo Vecchio (old city hall), Tribunale Della Mercanzia (The old Tribunal of Merchandise), and Michelangelo’s statue of David.

At the square, there are many restaurants and cafes where you can have a taste of Tuscany’s famous cuisine. If you are on a budget, you can get a gelato and sit on a bench or walk a few blocks to Ponte Vecchio for an amazing sunset view over the river.

The Santa Maria Duomo cathedral is another place worth a visit. This huge Gothic cathedral will give you goose-bumps as you make your way in.

If you’re up for a little exercise, try climbing the 414 stairs leading to the top of the Campanile- Bell tower!

Last but not the least, you can find the best paintings and art from the renaissance at the Galleria Degli Uffizi. Ancient sculptures, medieval, and modern art made by legendary artists such as Michelangelo, Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael are found at the gallery.

Florence is also distinguished for its great shopping experience, perhaps the finest in Europe. There are some great open-air market places with shops that sell fine leather goods and jewellery.

Italy is a very popular TESOL destination for North Americans with an Italian background. A EU passport and a 100-hour TESOL certificate are the minimum requirements for teaching English in Italy.

TEFL Chile and Tourism

/in /by

Chile is a stretch of 4300 Km along the coast of South America, but its width does not exceed 240 km.
This country is known for its scenic beauty. With plenty of natural parks, it is one of the finest travel destinations for practising extreme sports such as kayak, hiking, rafting, and surfing. One of the greatest attractions is the massive slender wall of the Andes. It’s a mountain range that keeps rising and contains more than 50 volcano peaks.

Chile is definitely the place for ESL teachers who are thirsty for adventure and it is also welcoming for those seeking a more quiet life. After all, this is the land of Pablo Neruda, one of the world’s most famous poets.
With plenty of vineyards and lakes to visit, you will surely have a great time!

The demand for ESL teachers is very high. A 100-hour TESOL certificate or higher TESOL certification is required.

TEFL Saudi Arabia and Tourism

/in /by

Saudi Arabia encompasses the most spectacular reefs of the world, the most magical and monumental sites of the Middle East, and the largest seas of sand of the Empty Quarter. Popular destinations are the mud-brick forts of Najran, which rise out of palm plantations and oases, the Arabian Desert, and the Two Holy Mosques of Masjid Al-Haram and Masjid Al-Nabwi.

Although very few travelers, especially non-Muslims, are allowed to walk this land, the country is slowly opening up to the world and Saudi Arabia has become a great destination for teaching English. Many teachers who hold TESL Canada certification and have more than one year of teaching experience choose Saudi Arabia for its standard of living and unique TEFL experience.

Ramadhan can be the most difficult time for western teachers as people who are not fasting are not allowed to eat in the open and only a few shops open for short periods of time. Saudi Arabia is very hot, so the best season is between November and February when average daily temperatures are moderate and the air is less humid. It’s significantly cooler in the Asir Mountains and around Taif region all year round.
