Working Abroad?

You're probably not going to be working in SEA. There are few jobs for westerners and most of these are teaching English. Anything else and then you have the problem of getting a work permit.
For Australia and New Zealand, you also cant work without the right visa. The only one you'd get would be the Working Holiday Visa.

There are things like WWOOF, workaway and helpx, which help you find work-for-board type gigs. Technically you'd need a work visa for these, but most people do them on tourist visas. Not legal, but it happens. If you just ask the question, it can be easy to stay and work at, say, a hostel you're staying at where you've gotten friendly with the staff. It's also possible to find shorter contract English teaching gigs.

Illegally working..lots of possibilities.

Legally...very few in this area.A short term teaching post might be possible,but even then..many of them use illegal workers (less bureacracy and cheaper for the company)..esp.if it is a short term job.

Also remember there´s a huge different betweeen working aboad and travelling. If you´re working then you are tied to one spot and will see less as you will only have a few days a week to travel. The jobs you are likely to get won´t make you rich and I doubt you will be able to save for further travelling, so you will still have to leave home with decent savings.
Alternatively you could travel for a shorter amount of time and not work at all.

Travelling is more than simply moving from one place to another. It's about learning about different cultures, food, religions..... Working overseas may not track up the "i saw 5 counties in 6 days, i'm a great traveller" miles required for hostel braggy story telling, but it is still travelling.

Depends very much on how long you stay,for me.

I work with a British person who has worked here in Italy for 13 years.She would be very surprised if you described this as 'travelling'...she lives here!

On the other hand if you are staying a few months in each country and then moving to a new one,that could be called 'travelling'.......even if you do some work in those few months.

It also depends what kind of job you are doing,how long your hours are,and how much you earn.I've done jobs while I was travelling that gave me loads of free time to do other things,and others where I was working all the time.....

TEFL sucks, worth nothing.. Do a CELTA and get a job fast..
That is all

Though there is a difference between Tefl and Tesol,many people use the acronyms interchangeably.

Celta is a just a 'brand' of Tesol....a respected brand (Cambridge) but far from the only one accepted.

The vast majority of schools will consider either Tefl or Tesol (Celta or not)qualified teachers....selection is far more down to experience and personality than which exact qualification a teacher holds........

Strongly disagree. The world "leaders" in ESL won't even interview you without a CELTA or Trinity TESOL. Try applying to the British Council or International House. Many smaller organizations, who don't even know what a CELTA is will ask for it by name as every other job advert on ESLCafe or TEFL.com or whatever website ask for CELTA by name (although sometimes with the 'or equivalent' in parenthesis)

That certainly does not means that if you have a on-line certificate from I-to-I or anything similar you can't get a job. It just means by not having a CELTA or Trinity TESOL you limit your options
