Re: I'm in need of an adventure; what's your idea of an adventure?

*Teaching English as a Foreign Language
I believe this suggestion (or something along the lines of it) was posted back in the days when I was acquiring information on Japanese studies. Although it wasn't referred to as "TEFL".
The problem is that I am not a native speaker of the English language, and although at times I may sound to speak it relatively fluent (or so they say), I'm hardly ever fluent AND correct when speaking English.

For the future this may be an option which I will try to keep in mind, but for now I don't think it's a viable option.

That's the whole point of this thread! You tell me your adventure, I do it, come back and tell you about it in detail so you don't have to go anymore.


No seriously, this thread is meant to be a source of inspiration, not to copy ones idea blatantly and to put it back in their face after it's done.
I'm a bit disappointed by the lack of ideas for adventures though.
