Thanks HP, sorry for my delay in coming back to you.. I see how it works now thanks, thanks to both of you.. Are you teaching in Medellin as a qualified teacher? I see from your posts that your/the work in Medellin seems to pay quite well. Is that a typical income for TEFL?

Hi Peter, I've been reading through some of the old PBH posts that relate to teaching English in Bogota, I'm a bit confused about it mate. Some reckon the schools don't have enough native speaking teachers and there's no problem finding work while others describe a situation where they struggle to find more than a few hours work a week. Any advice you can give me would be much appreciated, thanks, Mush.

We're in demand but you can't find full time work? How's that work? So am I kidding myself that I could find a daytime teaching job which would mean I get to see my girlfriend in the evening at least? Thanks cdb, I take your advice and refuse to do free

Thanks Leeroy, "under the table on a tourist visa" was kind of what I was expecting. I can extend 3 month visa and stay for six months in every twelve with a tourist visa, no? It seems opinion is divided between "lots of work here" and "you'd be lucky", have you tried to find work in Bogota? Cheers mate!

Hello Peter, I really cheered up when I found PBH, what a terrififc resourse and a great site. Thanks for taking time to drop me a line, I am looking to find work in teaching, I am currently a student with the Open University in the UK, reading International Studies, but I have a few years left to go with them. I want to organise continuing my studies with them while in Colombia, it seems that may not be a problem. I have read on the PBH forum about the possible teaching oppotunities, now I will try and sort something. Thanks again Peter.

Hello, I met my Colombian girlfriend just over a year ago while she was working in England. Since she's been back home in Bogota I've flown over there a couple of times to see her. I miss her lots, we spend hours on the Skype but it's not enough. I hope through the wise words of "Poor But Happy" I will discover a way to work in Bogota, live there and be happy ever after there. I'm also going to work on losing those 3 zero's on my activity record above, this comment should break my duck - 0,1,0, now we're truckin'.
