FAQ
"How much does traveling cost?"
Cost of living(rent, utilities, data/wifi, groceries) is $500 USD per month for most countries, up to $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.

You're very patient, you know that? 🙇🏼♂️🖖🏼
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Keep it up. It gives me pause when dealing w/ trolls, and that's almost enough to improve my traditional reactions to them. Almost. 😝 I'm working on it. 🙇🏼♂️
Thank you, I will! Troll antics directly build my community, allow me to reiterate important points, and are often removed anyway for violating the rules, so it's pretty fun and rewarding for me to pat them on the head. I also get a kick out of imagining how it feels to try so hard to be negative and instead boost my posts.
