::signs up for a spot on the tour:: Not only do I have a guest room, I have The World's Most Fantastic (and sadly, Quite Expensive) Bathroom, which is why I can't come visit you)
Here's the eligibility requirements for working in the States -- I don't know the specifics of the teacher training programme you did, but I do know that most UK BUNAC people I've spoken to participated after they finished their degree course.
I will ponder other possibilities, in the meantime.
I did BUNAC when I was not technically a student! The rules may have changed, of course, but as long as you were a student in the calendar year you go, you are eligible. I finshed my degree in the late spring, worked as a temp the rest of the year to get some $$, then went to the UK on like December 30th. I had a crappy New Year's Eve, but at least it was in Trafalgar Square. ;)
Go travelling! There are a bunch of places where, once you're there, it's cheap to live. USA sounds like one given all the sofa offers above. But also SE Asia - I stayed in a place in Thailand that gave us a twin room for 50p a night! Plus the food is fabulous and cheap. I put on like 2 stone. And you'll meet all these interesting people who might give you ideas for what you wanna do afterwards, which you can contemplate in a hammock on a beach...
