The Cambodian people possess an unbreakable spirit and an infectious, relentless sense of optimism- after prevailing through years of hardship; a return to peace has sparked an influx in tourism within the past decade. Cambodia's south coast is fringed with beautiful islands that are worth exploring, and its pristine environment provides a gorgeous backdrop for outdoor exploration. The Cambodian landscape is one of fertile plains, rice paddies, impressive waterfalls, and shining crater lakes. Plan a day trip to the ancient temple city of Angkor Wat, or one of the Buddhist pagodas and museums throughout Cambodia.

Recent economic growth, a young population, and a hunger for education have made Camboida a newfound job market in South East Asia for English teachers. Instructors can find jobs year round in Cambodia. While many interviews are in-person, some are conducted in advance over the phone and via e-mail. Instructors are responsible for airfare and housing expenses. Most live in apartments recently vacated by previous teachers, and many room with coworkers.
