Teaching English in Cape Verde, also known as Cabo Verde, offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of this island nation off the coast of West Africa. Known for its stunning landscapes, rich Creole heritage, and welcoming locals, Cape Verde is an excellent destination for educators looking to make a difference. English language skills are increasingly in demand due to the country's growing tourism and international connections. While teaching positions may not be as abundant as in larger nations, opportunities can be found in schools, community centers, and private tutoring, particularly in urban areas like Praia and Mindelo. Living costs are relatively low, making it possible to enjoy the island lifestyle, from relaxing on pristine beaches to exploring volcanic peaks and local music scenes, while sharing the gift of English language education. Cape Verde, an archipelago nation located off the coast of West Africa, comprises ten volcanic islands and five islets. Its landscape varies, with rugged mountains and cliffs on the western islands contrasting with flatter, desert-like terrain in the east. The islands are divided into two groups: Barlavento (windward) and Sotavento (leeward). The highest point, Pico do Fogo, is an active volcano on Fogo Island. Cape Verde's climate is arid, with limited rainfall and persistent trade winds.
