WHY TAKE A TESOL TEFL IN Yerevan
Much of Armenia’s cultural heritage centers around its status as the earliest nation to adopt Christianity; in fact, local tradition states that Armenians are descendants of Noah’s grandchildren. As such, visits to ancient monasteries as well as the world’s oldest national church are on most visitors’ itineraries. Armenian diaspora makes up the largest percentage of visitors to the country, and despite many difficulties throughout history, locals are welcoming of visitors from abroad.
Armenia is a tiny country that is often forgotten by travelers due to it being tucked away behind Turkey and its more popular neighbor, Georgia. It’s an ancient, mystical land–a country that is still unspoiled by the crowds of mass tourism. And whether you’re a lover of rolling hills, or prefer climbing over snow-capped peaks, you’ll find what you’re looking for in the Armenian landscape. It’s a paradise for outdoor lovers. To seal the deal: it’s incredibly inexpensive making it a perfect destination for budget travelers, backpackers and, of course, TEFL students!!!!!!! If you still hesitate whether to travel to Armenia, think of some reasons:
Find serenity and peace in your soul by visiting the spiritual centers such as the monasteries.
Ride the Wings of Tatev, the longest cable car in the world, to the monastery with the same name that is hidden in a beautiful mountain area.
Visit the Armenian “Stonehenge.”
Get acquainted with some of the most warmhearted people in the world—Armenians.
