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.

Thanks, your trip sounds pretty brutal, but that's really cool of your dad, must still be a good memory! I jogged every day at 6k feet in Medellin leading up to my trip here and then I walked/hiked every day I've been here ,which I guess worked out.
Maybe the Cusco pastries are a sort of Peruana superfood. I'll eat more to verify.
It's been 17 years and I still remember it fondly, so I suppose so! You should make sure to try every derivation of those pastries just to make certain they don't give you superpowers.
It'll be difficult with this many options(and I'll be getting the picarones on the reg), but there's no sense risking missing out on a superfood, so challenge accepted!
