My name is Laura and for political reasons, along with cultural reasons, I would like to leave the United States and move to the southern hemisphere. Uruguay looks like the best choice. I currently work for the California Department of Transportation as a civil engineer and am 52 years old and divorced. My plan is to get a TEFL certification in January and then arrive in February in Montevideo. My research indicates that 6 months TEFL jobs are available starting in March. So my overall plan is too spend about 7 months total doing three things: Learning Spanish, evaluating the culture and politics, and looking for an engineering job.
I am currently studying Spanish with an online program, rocket languages, and it is going quite well. I would appreciate comments and questions on my plans, specifically comments regarding TEFL job opportunities and requirements. Gracias in advance!
