TESOL Gdansk

Gdansk Waterfront

Gdansk is very different from other Polish cities because it has a rich maritime history that dates back to the 7th century.

Poland has experienced many drastic changes throughout the 20th century, but its most beautiful sites remain the Town Hall, the Medieval Port, the Main Town (Reconstructed after WWII), and the Green Gate.

As Poland moved towards capitalism in the early 1990’s, Gdansk has attracted major IT and finance businesses to an economy that has been majorly dominated by industries in the energy and shipbuilding sectors. As a result, the demand for teachers with a reputable TESOL certificate has been on the rise. Poland is one of the few European countries that welcomes native-English speakers who do not have a EU citizenship, and is especially welcoming to TESOL graduates from Canada and USA.

Untitled-2
It is said that Rio Celeste is the best kept secret of Costa Rica. You will not reach this amazing waterfall through the typical travel agency. It takes a 2-hour drive to reach Tenorio Volcano National Park from San Jose. Much of the drive is through paved roads until you reach the park’s entrance. An AWD vehicle is necessary for this 20-mile road.

When you reach the entrance, you must walk for about an hour through a mystical rainforest path. You will be walking through magical types of trees, listening to nothing but the breath of the jungle until you hear water splashing. Walk a little more and this amazing waterfall will appear in front of your eyes. It is like nothing else, light blue coloured from the minerals of the volcano streams.
Teaching English in Costa Rica is an amazing experience. All you need is your university degree and an internationally recognized TESOL certificate.
