and russia from 1-6(I was born there)
so I know my way around...
I beg to differ. You have TRAVELED around a few places as a young man possibly with a backpack. I have LIVED in the countries that I have been to for 1 year+, starting at 23. Many people travel the world, see a few things, meet a couple women and think they know about the world. You don't know a country or its people until you have lived with them, rented an apartment, paid taxes, eaten at their local places, fvcked their women, dealt with their police forces and had to find a job to support yourself. Visiting a beach resort in Mexico doesn't really count.
wouldn't you need to know the native language, in order to teach English?
Also, would Canada/UK/Australia count for this journey?
Black Dogg: SharingUser is correct, you don't need the local language or a TESOL... BUT BUT BUT how will they learn English? The same way you learned English. Ask yourself, how the hell did I learn how to speak my 1st language? The TESOL will give you a crash course on answering that question.
You don't need it but if you have it you will be more attractive to a school. Also Canada/OZ/NZ may be foreign to you, but are all categorized as Western Women influenced nations or (The Anglosphere). Also Spain/Italy/Portugal/UK... third world or bust.
Can anyone chime in on the best coutries in Latin America to look into? My first choice would be Brazil.
Kupid Diggs: I lived in Brazil for awhile. Brazil, a few years ago was awesome for meeting girls, now not so much AND its hella-expensive. The rich girls have no idea how to do anything for themselves that doesn't require schooling. One Brazilian/Japanese I dated couldn't even make her own bed and was repulsed by it, she considered that 'maid's work' but she did have 3 useless degrees. I left Brazil soon after and now I understand its gotten much worse. To meet the maids you have to journey into the subcities and favelas and there is a very good chance that you won't be walking out. I would stay out of Brazil completely.... its not the place that people have made it out to be. Sex is plentiful there, so are STDS. Trust me, there are better places in the world and there is almost no where in Brazil to get your laundry done cheaply... you are looking at 2 to 5 bucks per pair of jeans. Brazilians are also flakes, and they're happy to admit it. Make a date to hangout with a friend, if he finds something better to do, he'll flake on you AND not bother to call. Women are 50x worse. You'll end up hanging with other gringos the majority of your time in Brazil and complaining about how stupid the majority of Brazilians are. Carnival is probably the biggest slut fest in the whole world, no matter what you've heard about it, it is 100,000x more nasty than you can possibly imagine. People fvck in the streets, against the walls, kiss anyone, fvck, fvck, and more fvck. Your gf/wife has almost no problem cheating on you and hey...that's Brazilian culture, gotta problem with it? You don't belong in Brazil. Fvcking prostitutes is something a guy gets on his way home from work, they are everywhere. Its disgusting, really I'm not kidding. The only people that would enjoy Brazil are Helicopter Pilots.
(Belanova is pretty typical for Mexican girls) Yes, a large percentage of Mexicans are WHITE. Probably around 45%. If you want Asian Mexicans you gotta go to Baja California. If I didn't make good $$$ in China, I would be on the next flight to Mexico...love it there. For the Asian guys reading this, Latinos have no problems dating you guys. Jap guys clean up pretty well there... Mexican girls are obsessed with Harijuku fashions.
Mexico is a much nicer place in the southern parts and very cheap to live. Latinos who live in the
US should not be considered 'true mexican women' they are the furthest thing from and an insult to Mexican culture... fence jumpers are hated just as much in Mexico as they are in the USA, they consider them 'deserters'. I lived there for a few years and had a most excellent time. Its got a great pace of life and as long as you stay out of trouble then trouble won't come looking for you. There are some really fantastic areas around Mexico where you can buy a two-story house for $10,000, kick back and relax. I miss it a lot. Lots of ESL jobs there.
Argentina the women are stuck up, period.
Peru, the women are kind of ugly but are very nice and the food is fantastic. Spent a short time there... its not as nice as Mexico but the food is much better.
That's the extent of my central/south american experience. The two best places in the world for me would be either China or Mexico... if I'm not living in one, I'll be in the other. Both are fairly cheap, crime is low (despite what you hear on TV) and women are very friendly and sexy.
FVCK Canada... you'd have to drag me kicking and screaming to go back there... and make no mistake, I'm not some trailer park trash slob. My parents have a $700,000 house, that I could live in... I chose this life and I wouldn't trade it for Millions.
