teaching english in ecuador

"I was in Quito for 1 month December-January last. I was a volunteer teaching English and coaching soccer. I am returning to Quito next October - again as a volunteer.

Quito is quite inexpensive. Transport is excellent and very cheap - 25c by bus anywhere in the city. Taxis are also cheap but you will be ripped off if you are not careful - particularly at night. Food is cheap but again you have to be careful. Basic rule - ask first - do not be shy - they won't.

Quito is a beautiful city - not too hot - quite cool early mornings and evenings. Due to altitude sun block is a must. Check in advance precisely what you will be doing. Qualifications are not necessary but without them you may spend a lot of time watching. Some coaches quit after a few days due to boredom. I was amazed at the number of others who had spent many months in various countries in South America. Perhaps the fact that I am returning next October speaks for itself."
