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.

Crispy fried omelette. It's savory and salty with vegetables and beef and egg fried crispy on the outside, it's verrrry goood.

I asked a couple guys what martabak was, and one of them said just wait, threw some money on the counter and asked the other guy to make me one.

I tried to pay him several times but he wouldn't hear of it, and we ended up having a really interesting conversation; he shared a bunch of the local mythology with me, and then we shared the savory martabak, with apparently I couldn't put off eating long enough to get a better picture of.

It was a very solid meal that I am finishing off now while I wait for the heaviest of the current monsoon to ease.

Love me some thunder!

You are a hundo correct, it really hit the spot and it was great to share with a new friend. I had to share it, there were 12 pieces and I was pretty full after the second piece, haha.

There's an interesting sweet and salty chili sauce to that goes with the martabak that was pretty good.

Already found a half dozen recipes, for both sweet and savory.

Awesome. The sweet ones are apparently more popular here, but I prefer savory myself.

If you like cooking, this shouldn't be too tricky and the end result definitely rocks

And feel free to post here if you do end up making one, that would be great. Or post wherever and tag me so I can see the result!
