If you\u2019ve ever wanted to travel the world and still earn an income which helps you afford this, then TEFL is a great solution. With online TEFL job opportunities more available than ever, the dream is now within reach!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a TEFL online teaching job then you\u2019re all set to go off and travel wherever you might want to. Remote working is more popular than ever and there are numerous destinations that you can choose from. Whether you like cities or quieter towns, there are remote destinations for everyone! However, there are some things worth thinking about before you go and while you are travelling that will make sure your new remote life works out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Internet access\u00a0<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This may seem obvious but we can often get carried away with excitement and not think it all through clearly when planning travel. You need to ensure that, wherever you are, there is not only access to the internet but good internet! After all, teaching online requires video conferencing, sharing screens and using programmes that require more speed and data. It\u2019s important that you have sufficient internet speed to do your job, otherwise, you\u2019ll end up losing your main income while travelling!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/The-best-places-to-vist-in-Ecuador.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-77662\" src=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/The-best-places-to-vist-in-Ecuador.jpeg\" alt=\"Teach English in Ecuador\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/The-best-places-to-vist-in-Ecuador.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/The-best-places-to-vist-in-Ecuador-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/The-best-places-to-vist-in-Ecuador-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/The-best-places-to-vist-in-Ecuador-600x400.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are booking a hotel or apartment for your stay, check the reviews and ratings for comments about the Wi-Fi. This is normally pretty important for most travellers so if the internet is slow, they will likely comment on it! Search for internet mentions in the positive comments too from remote workers who may have spent a longer time in the accommodation. Don\u2019t forget you can always message the host for confirmation of the internet speed. Hotel internet tends to be slower with a greater volume of people using it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a lot of resources about remote working now which will also review the general connectivity of a town or city. Do your research on google about this! There are many lists of top places for remote work that you can consult. It might sound like a dream to work from a remote village or beach area, but if you don\u2019t have internet speed then this could be a disaster! Although we have all seen the typical remote image of someone working from a hammock, it\u2019s pretty hard to TEFL teach an online class like this!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Guayaquil-Ecuador-1024x1024-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-77668\" src=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Guayaquil-Ecuador-1024x1024-1-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Teach English in Ecuador\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Guayaquil-Ecuador-1024x1024-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Guayaquil-Ecuador-1024x1024-1-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Guayaquil-Ecuador-1024x1024-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Guayaquil-Ecuador-1024x1024-1-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Guayaquil-Ecuador-1024x1024-1-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Guayaquil-Ecuador-1024x1024-1-100x100.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h5><b>Time difference\u00a0<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will most likely already work with a time difference with your students but don\u2019t forget to think about this carefully when you choose a new location. Work out the time difference between your normal timetable and your destination. You don\u2019t want to arrive and realise that you now have to teach at 1 am or in the middle of the afternoon when you\u2019d prefer to be out exploring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have your own students, you could ask about the possibility of changing their times but it\u2019s best not to be inconsistent with this. It\u2019s not realistic to expect your students to change their time every month when you move locations. If you work for a big company, this can be easier if they have classes at all hours but you should check whether you will get the workload you want\/need. Companies tend to have hours which are considered peak times. If you go from working during these peak times to other hours, you might not get the same salary you want for your travels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you know that you will spend more time in a particular part of the world then it\u2019s a good idea to research ESL companies that cater for this market. You can apply to work for them and then have a more agreeable timetable when you are travelling.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Visa requirements\u00a0<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you check the requirements for the countries you want to visit. Depending on your passport, you may have the option to stay a few months visa-free which makes travelling easier for you. A lot of countries offer a tourist visa which allows you to visit for a few months. It\u2019s a good idea to factor these costs into your budget if you have to pay for visas for multiple countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Sitting-in-Quilotoa-Crater.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-77658\" src=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Sitting-in-Quilotoa-Crater-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Sitting-in-Quilotoa-Crater-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Sitting-in-Quilotoa-Crater-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Sitting-in-Quilotoa-Crater-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Sitting-in-Quilotoa-Crater-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Sitting-in-Quilotoa-Crater-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Sitting-in-Quilotoa-Crater.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you decide you\u2019ve fallen in love with a new place and don\u2019t want to leave, you might want to look at your long-term options. A lot of countries now offer a remote working visa which can allow you to stay up to a year or more. Again, these processes take time and money so be organised with your paperwork, bring copies of all of your important documents and research what you need to do!<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><b>Workspace\u00a0<\/b><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you already teach online, then you know that your workspace is very important! You need a quiet place to teach in, preferably with a neutral background. When you\u2019re travelling, you have less control over this but you can check whether there is a separate work area or desk in the place you are staying. Take a good look at the photos and see if you like the look of it for a work environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps you\u2019ve thought of staying in hostels to save money. This is a great way to meet people and keep costs down, especially when travelling long-term. However, hostels don\u2019t always offer the greatest work environment, especially for video calls with noisy backgrounds and lots of people using the internet. Think about this before you book your accommodation! Your students will not continue paying for lessons if you have people running around shouting while you teach!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, there is a new trend of co-working hostels which offer a good solution for being in a more work-focused environment. These hostels offer good internet and good working spaces, especially for remote workers. This can be a practical middle option to meet others and save little money. If you decide to stay in your own apartment, you can also check out co-working spaces which have a day or weekly passes so that you can work there. This is a good way to network and get out of your hotel\/ apartment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/online-teaching-jobs.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-68750\" src=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/online-teaching-jobs.jpeg\" alt=\"Study TEFL\" width=\"992\" height=\"662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/online-teaching-jobs.jpeg 992w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/online-teaching-jobs-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/online-teaching-jobs-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/online-teaching-jobs-600x400.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 992px) 100vw, 992px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h5><b>Access to equipment\u00a0<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every online teacher knows that they need a good laptop and the equipment to go with. A good webcam and microphone are an online teacher\u2019s essential tools. If any of these break or get lost abroad, then you might be stuck and left without being able to work. Make sure that you have insurance or the back up funds to replace anything you need to. The worst thing would be if your laptop broke or was stolen, so have an \u201cin case of emergency\u201d plan in mind!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0It\u2019s also worth making sure you will have access to replace these as in some countries it may be more difficult to get the brand you normally work with. Not every country has Amazon deliveries to save the day so replacements might take longer. This isn\u2019t a reason to avoid your adventures but having a monetary safety net would be a wise idea in case something happens to your teaching tools!<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Playing tourist\u00a0<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You know that budgeting your money is a serious consideration when travelling abroad but when you\u2019re working remotely, budgeting your time is also a key factor when TEFL teaching online. You might not spend your time in the same way you did when you were a carefree tourist visiting for the weekend. You should consider this when planning how much time to spend in each place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Vietnam-tourism.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-76954\" src=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Vietnam-tourism-1024x640.jpeg\" alt=\"Travel and teach in Vietnam\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Vietnam-tourism-1024x640.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Vietnam-tourism-300x188.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Vietnam-tourism-768x480.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Vietnam-tourism-1536x960.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Vietnam-tourism-600x375.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Vietnam-tourism.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on your work schedule, you might not have as much free time to explore. If you plan on visiting a big city which you could normally cover in two jam-packed days, consider whether you will be able to do everything you want to do if you also have to factor in the working hours of your day. You might need to compensate by staying longer if you only have a few hours per day to explore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can also apply to onward or internal travelling. Check your schedule before you book any flights, buses or trains! If you normally work a Tuesday morning and see a flight you want to take, can you rearrange these classes? Or do you need to fly at a different time to work around your schedule? You might need to consider planning any travel time in the evenings or at the weekends when you\u2019re guaranteed not to be working.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Work conditions\u00a0<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the time, your employer won\u2019t mind (or care) where you are in the world as long as the classes are done, the students are happy and everything is working well. However, there are some companies which stipulate you must be in the country where they are based.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s up to you whether you want to enquire about this and the possibility of moving countries. You don\u2019t want to risk the chance that you won\u2019t be able to access a platform because you are out of the host country\u2019s IP address. If your company isn\u2019t flexible on this, then you should look for alternatives that will allow you to move around and continue teaching.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/online-teacher-with-students-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-30531\" src=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/online-teacher-with-students-1-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"online teacher with students\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/online-teacher-with-students-1-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/online-teacher-with-students-1-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/online-teacher-with-students-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/online-teacher-with-students-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/online-teacher-with-students-1-1536x1023.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/tefl.ie\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/online-teacher-with-students-1.jpeg 1732w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teaching TEFL online and travelling for longer periods of time can give great opportunities. It\u2019s always a good way to get to know a place on a deeper level if you stay longer and get to know the city on a more \u201clocal\u201d level. You can also meet other remote workers who are in the same boat as you and make some lifelong friends! You might even find a place that you love so much that you\u2019ll settle down there for more time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working online with TEFL can give you great freedom and allow you to explore the world! T<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ravelling and working remotely long-term isn\u2019t always as easy as it seems but it can be a great adventure! It\u2019s important to have everything organised and think of all possibilities when working remotely. Don\u2019t forget to consider everything so that your experience goes smoothly and you\u2019re able to get the maximum out of your travels!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>7 Things to Consider When Teaching TEFL Online While Travelling Getting qualified to teach TEFL online can help you live [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33806,"featured_media":55884,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"TEFL online","_yoast_wpseo_title":"%%title%% %%page%%","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Getting qualified to teach TEFL online can help you live your dream life.
