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 always feel like the hands-free bidet is sneaking up on me, I prefer the control and manual aim/pressure of the gun.

i think i err on the side of convenience as well, but i couldn't agree more with how fun a dozen settings are

I remember my first time in the tokyo airport bathroom, they have hands free bidets and i conservatively spent 15 minutes after business time experimenting with the functions.

Yeah, the first fancy bidet I ran across, I was the same way. It was at a friend's house, and they were giving me hell about playing with it after I was in there for a good twenty minutes.

How can you not try everything out?
