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.

While I lived there, I knew international students from everywhere all across China. I've met international students in every country I've been in so far.

Students get the same accreditation and education for about 10% of the cost. Different degrees have different tuitions, but in general you will be paying tens of thousands USD less per year for the same quality degree you'd get in Western EU or the US.

There are international(English-speaking) universities in every country. The lower their cost of living, the lower your tuition is going to be.

How:

Enroll. Pay tuition. Get your student visa. Buy your plane ticket and housing.

Feel free to ask about specifics.
