<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

I live in Austin, TX.  I have an old friend who is Hungarian--I grew up in Dallas, she went to grad school there (at SMU).  She is now in Budapest teaching English to middle schoolers.  I am about to buy round trip tickets (Austin-Dublin, then Ryanair Dublin-Budapest) for the two weeks of 5/21 to 6/6.  

There are two purposes of this trip:  1) I am finishing my first year of graduate school and need a break 2) I am interested in finding out if I can get a job either teaching English or working administration at a university (my degree, in May of 2011, is going to be a Master of Education).

My plan as it stands right now is this.  I will fly to Budapest, check it out.  I will buy a rail pass for Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia.  I want to check out some/all of these cities: Pecs (in southern Hungary, there are some universities there), Zagreb, Rijeka, Dubrovnik, Split (all in Croatia), Ljubljana, Trieste (in Slovenia) and maybe make a trip Cluj, Romania or Vienna.

I want to find places that are off the beaten path...I can't get excited about Prague or Vienna, I want to avoid places that American tourists frequent.  I really do want to investigate what it would be like to try to find a teaching/admin job in one of these countries and get a feel for what it would be like to live in this part of the world as an expatriate.
<bot>: American flying to Budapest end of May/beginning of June.  Interested in adventure/looking for a teaching job in Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Romania or Austria.  Advice?
