There are plenty of ways to travel the world and earn money at the same time. Thankfully, English teachers are usually in hot demand. These are the best TEFL courses to take for teaching English abroad – and bring you one step closer to achieving your dream.

International TEFL Academy

Some of us prefer to learn in a classroom. Sound familiar? International TEFL Academy might be for you. It lasts 170 hours and is one of the most interactive courses on the TEFL market. It makes it feel as though you are in a classroom thanks to the lessons while also offering 20 hours of student teaching and 150 hours of coursework.

i-to-i

i-to-i is arguably one of the best TEFL courses on offer. The course is all online and lasts for around 120 hours. The best bit? It’s not too costly and offers a great chance to see if you really want to teach English abroad or not. It’s also great for people that have no previous teaching experience.

TELFPros

This is another course that lasts approximately 120 hours, but TELFPros also comes with 17 hours of observation videos shot from inside a classroom. It’s pretty focused on practical skills that you’ll need to teach and comes with assignments, worksheets, and quizzes to help you learn along the way.

Vantage

If you already find yourself in Thailand and want a new way to make money, then it might be time to check out Vantage. The TEFL course is based in the country and helps students learn about how to teach English within Thailand. It lasts four weeks and can be completed in-person or through a hybrid course that mixes classes in Bangkok and online training.

There are so many advantages that come with teaching English abroad. Thankfully, TEFL courses have been designed with just that in mind and could soon offer you the job of a lifetime.

Lovers of outdoor activities and breathtaking nature, rejoice! The picturesque Italian region of Calabria now has a brand new hiking trail that connects the Ionian and Tyrrhenian seas from one coast to the other. Known as the Calabria Coast to Coast, this exciting trail runs for 55 kilometers from Soverato to Pizzo, going through beaches and mountains, lush flora, and rich fauna.

Discover Local Culture on the New Hiking Trail

Since Calabria was historically part of Magna Graecia, the region has more than a millennium’s worth of tradition, culture, and tastes to discover. The new trail took the Calabria Trekking Association several years to make, and their goal to create “an emotional and sensorial journey” for avid travelers has definitely been achieved.

Calabria Coast to Coast: the Details

The hiking trail is divided into three main sections, each about 20 kilometers long. Every section has a different level of difficulty from medium to medium-high, so hikers can plan their trip according to their abilities. The Calabria Trekking volunteers are there to offer complete assistance to hikers and can easily be reached by phone. Tourists are encouraged to check-in and out of the trail (it can be done online), so it’s easier for trail officials to supervise the trip and respond quickly in case of an emergency.

In addition to on-site help, there is also a trail passport that hikers can get free of charge (voluntary contribution is appreciated) to mark their progress using stamps from each village and town along the way. This allows travelers to get discounts in hotels and restaurants in the area. So, plan ahead and explore Calabria’s breathtaking coastline, mountains, and valleys together with the local people and cultures along the new hiking trail.

To learn more about each section of the hike, landscape specifics, and updates, it’s best to check the Calabria Trekking website.
