How do you go about it grasshopper?
Honestly (from what I've seen) it's so easy to go to Asia once you've set your mind to it. The demand is soooo high and there are a lot of companies out there (mostly run by former teachers who know the business) who will do the work for you and find you a school. Better yet, a lot of schools these days recruit themselves by coming to job fairs in your city or posting job notices online.
I'm not a trained teacher but I would love to go to Africa and teach English! Somalia, Sudan and Egypt would be my top choices =) For obvious reason though I would love to go back to Somalia and teach!

What do you mean about abroad ?
You're talking to SOL members and it seems they're almost everywhere .....
I mean going to another country, a country other than the one you're living in =)

That's an amazing idea for sure! I was in somalia for two months right after graduating and I couldn't believe how eager the kids were to learn English! They kept coming up and asking me to translate different somali words into english and then they'd memorize it and come back for another word =)
