Teach in Indonesia
There are many reasons why Indonesia is one of the world’s most visited countries. Not only is the cost of living incredibly low, but the food is delicious, the wildlife is diverse, and there are plenty of activities and facilities for tourists to enjoy. Indonesia has some of the best beaches and deep seas in the world as well as tropical forests, mountains and volcanoes.
With nearly 17,000 islands, it’s easy to imagine spending the rest of your life hopping from island to island. Scuba diving and snorkeling are two of the most popular things to do on these islands, as well as surfing, hiking and sunbathing on one of their stunning beaches.
If you are looking for historical and cultural attractions, Indonesia has a lot to offer. There are many historical sites throughout the country that you can visit, such as Borobudur temple, the largest Buddhist temple in the world, or Prambanan temple, which is a Hindu temple in the Indonesian city of Yogyakarta.
The locals are known for being friendly, easy-going, and always ready to help, so you’ll feel at home right from the get-go!
