Finland

Finland is full of beautiful landscapes, featuring an estimated 187,888 lakes and 179,584 islands, making it a boater’s paradise. Travelling is relatively expensive because of the size of the country, but a visit to the north for the Midnight Sun (when the sun never sets) and Arctic Night (when the sun never rises) each year is definitely worth it. Travelling to the country first before searching for a job is the best option for any ESL teaching opportunities here.
