I have some time off coming up and I was thinking about taking a month or two trip to another country to teach English. My considerations:

1. Paid travel in lieu of other costs: I would be willing to pay some of the associated costs, but not travel. Also, as this is paid leave from my company, I don’t need a salary (but a stipend would be nice.)

2. Maximum 1-2 months: 1 month is ideal, but I can do 2 months if that’s the shortest they can do.
