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.

You've been veering into misinformation territory for a while now. Please only address comment content going forward, rather than your assumptions or anxieties.
"...what is so different about a cow a chicken a pig a fish that makes it ok to kill them..."
Nothing.
I do not think it's okay to kill animals, humans included.
If you have a direct question, ask it. No more of your straw men or misinformation.
If I've said something thats misinformation I'd like you to point it out so that I can learn, otherwise I'm just going to keep repeating it elsewhere because I haven't knowingly said anything false
Thank you.
Drawing conclusions on your own unsubstantiated conclusion that I think killing animals is "ok" because I eat animals is misinformation.
You are following your own prejudices and fabricating topics rather than addressing a civil conversation.
"If you thought killing animals was not ok you wouldnt be doing it"
You can ask me directly, you have no reason to make things up.
I do not. Again, your assumptions and prejudices are not getting you anywhere.
You have already stated you do not care about plant lives because you do not consider plants sentient. Keep your questions logically relevant and responsive to existing comments rather than your prejudice.
I'm not, although I do approve of harvesting plants and animals for food.
Speak for yourself, not for others.
"We can be healthy eating plants theres no need for anyone to die."
People die regardless of how many plants they eat.
A cannibal could use that same argument, yes people die from all sorts of reasons but deliberately killing someone who doesn't need to die is murder. If you can survive eating cheap readily available plant foods bread rice pasta lentils veg fruit potatoes etc then the CHOICE to eat an animal is a CHOICE to fund their continued slaughter and confinement, its like paying an assassin, you share responsibility with the assassin
Did someone tell you that eating meat is not a choice?
Many people are able to choose their diets.
I don't.
Remember, no false attributions.
You may ask questions, but may not spread misinformation.
That was a pretty fucking sketchy removal and a very ... personally motivated interpretation of what "misinformation" means.
Thanks, how so?
I kept many of their comments up, but there are only two rules for this community and the commenter broke both rules repeatedly after multiple warnings.
Says the guy who has banned me from their communities twice without me ever posting in them - "unwelcome"
If its good for the goose, its good for gander.
You are wrong again.
If you have a direct question, ask it. No more of your straw men, assumptions, or misinformation.
How am I wrong you've said you eat other animals, eating animals requires killing them so you must think its ok to kill them
"How am I wrong"
You are making assumptions and arguing against your own assumptions while pretending you are arguing against others.
Define "you must think its ok to kill them" without your prejudice or assumptions. Base your definition on the comments you are responding to.
"you obviously think its morally ok."
It's obvious to you because it's your own opinion, not mine.
Harvesting animals for food is appropriate and natural.
No misinformation, remember. You may ask community members questions but are not allowed to make up their answers for them.
Humans are an animal, under what conditions would you find it acceptable to harvest humans for food? Feel free to give a difference answer but I'm going to preempt three common responses I get: 1. its never ok to kill and eat a human even when you're starving: then what is so different about cows pigs chickens that makes it ok to do to them, when we have thousands of edible plant species, 2: its ok to eat humans if they are already dead and you're starving: ok then is that the situation you find yourself in w/ regards to eating other species? 3: its ok to kill and eat humans in a survival situation in the name of self defense: ok again are you in a life or death situation, are there not bread rice beans pasta fruit and veg for you to get nutrients from?
"are there not bread rice beans pasta fruit and veg?"
In the life or death survival situations you are making up?
No, there are not.
this is a misunderstanding of the responses, the question of "when is cannibalism justified" is used here to draw parallels to when eating flesh of other species is justified, if you wouldnt do it to a human in the same situation why would you do it to a cow pig chicken fish duck goose etc
That isn't a misunderstanding, you just didn't get the answer you wanted.
