Job
There are TEFL jobs advertised all over Russia throughout the year. Russia is geographically the world’s largest nation stretching through eight time zones; this results in an equally wide range in the cost of living: Moscow is often listed as one of the world’s top ten most expensive cities while other cities further afield have a very low cost of living. There are a wide range of TEFL jobs available, from general English to business English, and even jobs working as a private tutor for one of Russia’s oligarchs. All of them will offer the TEFL teacher the opportunity to explore a country rich in culture and heritage.

The whole process is quite cathartic and has reenergised that wanderlust that resides deep down in the souls of TEFLers. Here are a few from my list:

The Trans-Siberian Railway – One Way to Return Home after Teaching in the Far East

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
