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 abroad are both pennies on the US dollar for the highest quality of medical care


"What about visas?"

You usually don't need them; when necessary, visas are almost all entirely online: a fifteen minute e-form and nominal fee offset in your first day 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 almost 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've known many families living abroad long-term very comfortably.

How:

International schools are available in most countries, you can choose the one in the neighborhood you want and get your kids a quality education.

Affordable, high-quality healthcare is available in many countries and you can choose where you want to live.

Food is healthy fresh, delicious, and affordable, with much less industrial processing common in higher-income countries.

Transportation is available in most countries. If you want a private vehicle, all you need is an IDL, which is a simple process to acquire online with your regular driver's license. Then you can legally drive in most countries with your home country's driver's license.

For those in higher income countries, relocation costs are insignificant compared to the enormous amount of savings every month due to lower costs of living in many countries.

If you have any questions about traveling as a family, ask away!
