It is becoming highly popular for young North Americans to teach spoken English when traveling overseas – using this to gain experience or earn some extra cash that would finance the trip as well.
But those aren’t the only benefits of doing it. There are more, and that is exactly what I am going to do here: bring them out in the open for you to read and learn.
1. It is a Resume Booster, even if teaching is not your ultimate career choice
You might think that an experience like this will not be more than a line on your resume. But the truth is, don’t underestimate the skills you develop teaching in a foreign country. Communicating across cultural barriers, using solid leadership skills to conduct classes, and being able to speak a different language, are all great assets that recruiters are always looking for.

travel tips
If you love adventure travel and do not care much about travel warnings issued by US and other governments, Cambodia should be your next destination. Cambodia is situated in South East Asia, between Vietnam and Thailand. Phnom Penh is Cambodia’s capital in every sense of the word. The city is so rich in culture and tourist attractions that it can keep you busy for more than a week.
But if you have only a weekend to spare, we recommend that you should take a early flight to Phnom Penh in on Friday afternoon and enjoy Saturday and Sunday packaged tours of the city and then take a late night flight on Sunday night back to home. This way you will enjoy a great weekend tour of the city.
If you are have only one place to visit in Phnom Penh, It has to be the Royal Palace. It is a complex of buildings constructed a century ago for King of Cambodia. It was also a venue of his court and a symbol of his kingdom. The Royal Palace and attached ‘Silver Pagoda’ compound has several buildings, structures and gardens that are all located within 800 meter square walled grounds. The Compound also overlooks a riverfront park. [click to continue…]
