Hi everyone,

I'm a qualified English teacher from the UK. I have some debts that I want to start paying off and heard that teaching English abroad is a good option to make money with. Which countries are best for English teachers in terms of money, living expenses and safety (for a single woman)? I am thinking more about Asia, but open to other suggestions. Appreciate any responses!

We are moving to Seville this summer and are looking for a primary school for our children who will be ages 9 and 10 and would be in grades 3 and 5 in a US elementary school.  They know a little Spanish but not much yet!  We are looking for a school where they can learn/speak some Spanish but there is also English.  I presume that is a bilingual school?  Is there a list of private primary schools in Seville I can contact and are they likely to admit two American kids?   So many more questions if anyone is able to answer...  Thanks

Hi! 

I'm in the process of setting up my graphic design business in the Philippines. I'm unsure if I should go to Manila or Cebu?
Seems like Cebu is a great laid back place, less stressful than Manila. However Manila will have more work-force potential employees? 

I'm really looking to build my graphic design team. I'll love this to happen in Cebu, but I'm unsure if Manila will be more convenient to find better Graphic Designers? 
Thanks
