Teaching in Chile, but NOT Santiago???

Hi Guys,

You have probably answered this a million times, and I have the usual story.

Teacher looking for a job in Chile. Now, before you groan and redirect me, I DON'T want to teach in Santiago.

So, my ideas are Valparaíso, Iquique, Vina del Mar.... those kind of places...

Something a little warmer ( I AM from the sunny part of Australia), a little less crowded and a bit more country.

I have lived in rural Japan ( with little Japanese ability) and rural Thailand ( really no ability) and have been ok. And I AM studying Spanish at the moment, so the language thing really doesn't bother me.

Am I crazy to try and find jobs out at these places?  I will be visiting different areas to see if I like them, and I understand Chile is a "who you know" kinda country job wise. But will it be really difficult??

I have a Bachelor degree , a TESOL cert and will be doing my CELTA in January (sigh).... That coupled with a knowledge (even slight) of Spanish should help me out right??

Thoughts??
