Just wondering what my options could be after current project finishes. Want to earn a bit of money and live somewhere nice for a year or so. Middle east doesn't look so tempting anymore but if I could get the money it would.

Brazil I've heard is difficult without speaking Portuguese.

Australia?

How about the carribean?

Any recommended agencies? Or should I look for uk companies already out there and go that route?

In addition to opportunities in the BRIC economies, you could also 'chase' the natural disasters. Good luck!
