A friend of mine went to South Korea through eslcafe.com and works at a real public school teaching English. She is having a blast. Education in South Korea is serious business. People get judged based on their education level and on what school they attended. As for you wanting to save and pay off student loans while traveling...you will make good money considering you don't work that many hours (depending on where you will work and who you will work for- because some places offer housing and will pay for your plane ticket) but keep in mind the exchange rate of currency. According to http://www.xe.com, 1000won (1 South Korean dollar) = $.84 (US dollar). Otherwise, I'm sure you will have a most pleasant experience! Good luck!

From your spelling it looks like you're American, if so you won't get a job in Spain. Or not unless you have a passport from a European country so that's out. Korea is a good, viable alternative. You won't make loads of money but enough to have a reasonable time and save a little. There are plenty of jobs there so go for it.
