Afghanistan is a landlocked Asian country which was invaded by Alexander the Great over two thousand years ago and has seemed to be in a state of conflict ever since. It was not so long ago that travellers used to sing the praises of the people and the country, but this has been overshadowed by the endless distressing news bulletins. You might be surprised to learn that there are TEFL positions advertised in Afghanistan throughout the year. If you are considering a position here, you should definitely seek the advice of your government’s foreign office. You should also check which vaccinations you might need if you are going to live in the country.
