China occupies a whole swathe of land in the Far East which brims over with diversity from deserts to rainforests, mountains to grasslands, and old mixed with new visible within cities across this country of 1.3 billion people. It is the biggest recruiter of TEFL teachers in the world. There are thousands of TEFL positions which will appeal to teachers of all backgrounds: some schools offer in-house training for those with no teaching experience (so you can find out if TEFL is for you before you spend money on a TEFL course), and universities offer very respectable packages for more experienced teachers, especially in EAP (English for Academic Purposes). It’s such a vast and diverse country it’s well worth researching where you’d like to live and then search for jobs accordingly.

Many TEFL teachers choose to extend their adventures by taking an alternative route home after they finish a contract. If you are working in the Far East, you could consider taking the Trans-Siberian Railway for part of your journey. There are three primary routes, one which runs through Russia the whole way from Vladivostok to Moscow, and the other two which start in Beijing and run north directly into Russia or via Mongolia. If you didn’t get off the train at all, the trip would take around six days. Here a British teacher, Dave, describes the highlights of the journey he made in 2002 which took him from Beijing to Moscow with stops in Mongolia and Siberia.
To fly or to take the train, that was the question
