New Zeland is great for summer jobs

Dubai and the other emerites (including Qatar, etc.) would hire you to teach English, but traditionally would ask you to commit to a 2 year (might be able to negotiate one year minimum). That may have changed with the xenophobic fear campaigning in the US…Southeast Asia and Africa would be interesting, but probably wouldn’t pay well. I didn’t check into it, but I bet China would be very interested in learning English….the better the country’s economy, the better they will pay. Don’t worry if you don’t speak the language, though. If you make an effort, every foreign country I’ve been to (over 15) has been very, very hospitable. You can try a company like ELS Learning Centers – you might be able to work for them on temporary deals overseas. Good luck!

i imagine you can’t be concerned about pay

a round trip flight to dubai will probably cost you your first month, so don’t look for high pay if you want to compete with south africans / indians

Try working on a cruise ship.
