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 first found them in taiwan, and they became my favorite cookies right away. They just call them cookies in Taiwan. Then I found them in thailand, where they are called cookies. And everywhere I've found them since they are just called cookies, I've never come across any special name for them.

Do you know one?

AI says "gem biscuit", which is ringing a bell. I might have seen the word gem somewhere before on a bag of these.

Okay, thanks. Apparently they're "a hundred in the mouth", cien en boca, in Latin America, or "florets", which I think are taking the lead in interesting names so far.

You're right, a Very fitting name. The most suitable so far.
