WHY TAKE A TESOL TEFL IN medellin
Medellin is the second largest, most progressive city in Colombia. International travelers and others say, “Medellin is one of the most beautiful cities in South America.” The home of orchids, parks and tropical birds, Medellin lies cradled in the Aburra Valley, bisected by the Medellin River which runs North and South. Nightlife, called “Rumba”, takes place in many locations, beginning on Thursday night, and running “hot and heavy” through Saturday night.With an International (MDE), and an Inter Colombia (EOH), in-town airport, travel agencies report that Medellin serves as a popular central air hub for tourists. Buses, taxis or the world class METRO rail are all safe, inexpensive, modes of convenient transportation. You’ll find hundreds of good lodging and restaurant options to choose from. At 1,600 meters, the annual temperature is perfect. No need for A/C.With a population of nearly three million people, Medellin now occupies the 66th place among the world’s most populated cities. Its inhabitants are called Paisas. They have a well deserved reputation as hard-working, hard-playing people of culture, sincerity and friendliness. They are filled with pride over their cities’ transportation systems, universities, parks, museums, architecture, sports teams, diversified manufacturing base, communications, shopping facilities and the area’s cleanliness. Even the efficiency of their governments and utilities will usually elicit words of praise! Most of the national beauty queens and top fashion models in Colombia call Medellin their hometown. Paisas are of many races and colors, just like the beautiful flowers which are grown around here and shipped overnight from Medellin’s International Airport to many countries around the world to bring joy to people.
