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.

I basically make the one dish at home. 350g of ground beef, browned, add in 6 eggs, stir, delicious bowl of fatty protein.

I'm impressed that you can go in and out of fasting, it's a great skill to have!

Thanks, I'm very interested in how different diets affect human metabolism, and since I have one at my disposal, you know?

There are so many diets with such interesting and radically different effects, I have to try all of them.

And if I happen to be Indian vegan and then visit China next? Uh yeah, beer-fried duck is back on the menu.

We live so briefly, and the world is so vast.

When I went carni in China, there was this guy on my walk home selling yak jerky, which is still by far no contest my favorite jerky, and I went from a snack every other day to bags of that stuff for months.

I was like hey, good enough for hundreds of generations of mongolians...and dang are the mongolians correct.

That's my hobby too. Fat metabolism appears to be simply the best metabolic state for humans. So any low carb/keto diet would be the most indicated.
