Teaching Abroad?

Minorca is SWEET. I did a week out there at the end of last summer and am going back between uni terms this year. Great bunch of instructors, the pay is a bit of a downer compared to other companies (my mate works for Neilson in the summer and gets a ridiculous amount more). The kit for day off messing about is good, and at least you are not so much teaching as coaching (most of the time). Definately consider bringing a bike, if you are only doing peak season you will be staying in fornells more than likely so its nice to have a bike to get there and back after work.

They do, but my friend is not going to be working for Minorca Sailing unfortunately so we are looking for somewhere for him to stay too!

Originally posted by Contender 541 And not too many more in Fornels Do not confine yourself to Ses Salinas and Fornels, Menorca is a great Island and when you get away from the madding crowd (it's not too difficult) you can find some real gems. BTW take or arrange for a bike - Menorca are really promoting biking holidays and have miles and miles of cycle tracks through some really inaccesable (by car) places

Any idea where is a good place to stay? Obviously my friend won't be on holiday so luxury villas are not an option!! I have tried finding places to board cheaply, summer rentals etc but it's just holidaysholidaysholidays!!! Any ideas?

Originally posted by GBR351 I also have a friend coming out there with me but he will be working in bars etc as he is a non-sailor (Yes I AM going to teach him how to sail on my days off)

there's not a lot of choice of bars in ses salinas

Ratface (James) has worked for Rockley Watersports so may give his advice later.

I have worked in Switzerland at the age of 18 for a couple of months, the first thing that hit me was home sickness, that lasted a couple of days but after i got over it, I really enjoyed my time.

Do socialise with others, don't stay on your own for too long, and do plan your food budget so you dont overspend.
