In looking over my member benefits last week, I discovered that the National Education Association offers travel incentives for teachers. Rather than outline them specifically here, I thought I'd redirect you to the website's link with specifics.
Check them out: http://www.neamb.com/travel/teacher-travel-aids.htm.
Travel Opportunities through NEA
Fair Play Peru
I stumbled across Fair Play Peru some time ago, and immediately fell in love! Developed by an native-born American male and his Peruvian wife, this non-profit enables Peruvian women to seek out careers as teachers and tour guides for visitors. The organization provides training to the ladies who in turn work with tourists. Visitors can choose from a variety of housing options, language classes or travel opportunities and even design their own programs. Visitors can choose their own desired length of stay as well. I plan to partake in the future, for sure!
WorldTeach
WorldTeach is another organization offering programs in teaching abroad. The countries are widespread and the possibilities are endless! There is an application process and a "volunteer fee" for application which can reach upward of $6,000, but this helps cover all expenses while living/teaching abroad. Applicants pay travel costs associated with the program as well. Find out more about the organization and its programs by clicking on the hyperlink above.
