FAQ


"How much does traveling cost?"

Cost of living(rent, utilities, data/wifi, groceries) is $500 USD per month for most countries, $1000 for most others.


"Health care and insurance?"

Health care and insurance are both pennies on the US dollar abroad.


"What about visas?"

Usually don't need them; when necessary, are almost all entirely online: a fifteen minute e-form and nominal fee offset by the drastically lower cost of living abroad.


"How do you make money while abroad?"

Any job that nets you $500 a month works. There are over 2 billion English students globally right now, so native English speakers have lucked into a guaranteed job on or offline.


"What qualifications do I need as an English teacher?"

Some countries and schools require a TEFL certificate or prefer candidates with an associate's degree depending on the position, but if you want to teach English, all you need is to be a fluent English speaker.

Thank you, context is valuable.

Calories are not "lost" when eaten, they are reallocated.

Efficiency also depends on context. Should you dig a hole manually or with a backhoe?

How big is the hole, how was the backhoe built, how far away is it, who owns it, what is its fuel, and so on.
