Indonesia

Indonesia offers teachers the chance of a full work-life balance and the opportunity to live a low cost life that allows for some extravagancy. The country is an explorer's paradise with beaches and volcanoes and the incredible sight of exotic animals like elephants and tigers living alongside one another. With large swathes of the country remaining unspoilt, Indonesia offers teachers a slower pace of life and a chance to embed themselves in their community and fully experience a south Asian way of living. Teaching in Indonesia offers discovery and career advantages. Whilst salaries might seem lower than in other parts of Asia - the very cheap way of life will soon have you understanding the financial benefits of choosing Indonesia.
