Teaching English in EthiopiaBack to Tefl World

TEFL jobs don’t often come up in Ethiopia, but when they do it gives TEFL teachers a fabulous opportunity to explore a country rich in culture, history, as well as fabulous scenery and cuisine.  Ethiopian Airlines run reasonable flights from around the world and often have an offer whereby if you fly internationally into the country, you can buy internal flights with up to a 50% discount – Ethiopia is four-times the size of the UK, so this is a great way to explore a country you'll never forget.  You should check which vaccinations you might need if you are going to live in Ethiopia, and remember the recommendations might vary due to the country’s diverse geography.

Places I would like to revisit after the lockdown Monday 15 Jun 2020
