Best known for its indigenous people, Oaxaca is a culturally rich city, and a great place to teach English. Most are familiar with this seaside city as it relies heavily on tourism for the large number of colonial-era structures as well as the native Zapotec and Mixtec cultures and archeological sites. With the constant flow of foreigners, there is also a considerable need for English lessons, so locals can profit from the tourism.
Landing a job isn’t too hard, but budgeting to get by on $1,200- $1,400 monthly can be challenging with all the tourist trap temptations. Take Jonathan’s advice, learn to live local style, and you will fall in love with the city just as much as he did.
