Hey Naomi. Firstly, I’m super excited you’re considering teaching in South Korea. I love this country and am always thinking of going back. You definitely can earn this amount of money. You admittedly can save MORE money in other countries. China was prosperous for me and the highest paid jobs are in the Middle East (but these jobs are nicknamed the ‘golden handcuffs’ in the TEFL world – that high wage comes at a price – i.e. little freedom – especially if you’re a chick). I personally recommend the Middle East for couples who are married and have someone to keep them sane >< Every job is every country is going to be different. You just need to find what is right for you. Hunt hard and don't settle for anything less than what you want. Just keep in mind what qualifications and experience you have in mind and you can take it from there. Any other questions...do not hesitate to ask!

I love all of your posts. Always super helpful and inspiring!
I’m thinking of teaching English in South Korea. Is the pay really that good – some websites say that the cost of living is so low, one is able to save $500-1000 USD per month. Was it relatively easy to save money?
Thanks so much!

I miss Korea so much! I’m actually thinking of going back there to teach again because there’s no way I’m sick of the food, the language, the hiking, the people! Korea rocks!

This is exactly what I want to do in a year or two (stopping home for a year after I graduate this summer to do my uk teacher training) and I cannot wait. After visiting Korea twice and going to countless restaurants and cooking countless dishes and spending countless hours trying to (extremely slowly) study the language I’m still not sick of it and am so excited to actually get there for real. I hope I enjoy living there as much as I’ve enjoyed my two trips.
