Germany – For those who want to stay a little closer to home Germany is a wonderful choice for an LGBT ESL teacher. The Berlin nightlife is notorious and the open attitude across the whole country couldn’t be more welcoming. Though it is Germany, so don’t expect much fanfare from your warm welcome.
