Hi..my name is Bill...im wanting to move to Cambodia..i have an opportunity to obtain a TESOL Cert here in Aussie,as i have an interest in Teaching English.
I receive a small monthly benefit of around$1.900
So..2 questions...will i be able to find teaching work in Cambodia...and will my monthly benefit keep me housed and happy untill i can find a teaching job.
My background is varied...ive worked in Community Development  and Social Work mainly..im not interested in starting a business at this point,rather just settle in with some nice accomodation..look for NGO type organisations....and just breathe...regards to you all...Bill.

A lot of foreigners live on less than 1,900. Plenty of international schools but also plenty of dodgy ones, do your research.
