But if you do this overseas you can easily support yourself.
As for teaching English, the best thing is to just go to a country you are interested in and look for work once you are there. I taught English in China last year (along with doing freelance work) and this is how I did it.
You could find work before going but this is actually riskier. They will most likely lock you into a year-long contract and there is a lot of bad schools that recruit this way because the candidates do not know any better. It's much better to move to a place and spend a month looking. That way you can talk with other teachers, see how the school looks and make sure it is not in the middle of nowhere.
In many developing countries you can live well on $500 a month so freelancing is always an option for you again if teaching isn't for you.
