Teaching English abroad in Cuba offers a unique and enriching experience in a country known for its vibrant culture, rich history, and warm hospitality. With an increasing interest in learning English for tourism, business, and academic opportunities, Cuban students are eager and motivated learners. Teachers often find themselves immersed in the local way of life, enjoying the rhythm of salsa music, colorful architecture, and the charm of vintage cars that line the streets. While salaries may not be high, the cost of living is relatively low, and the experience of connecting with Cuban communities, exploring the island's stunning landscapes, and contributing to students' futures makes it a truly rewarding opportunity. Cuba, the largest island in the Caribbean, is an archipelago of over 4,000 islands and cays. Its main island stretches northwest to southeast, boasting a diverse landscape of flat plains, rolling hills, and the Sierra Maestra mountains in the southeast, where Pico Turquino stands as the highest point. The coastline is characterized by bays, beaches, mangrove swamps, and coral reefs, while the interior features fertile valleys and the Zapata Swamp, the largest wetland in the Caribbean.
