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.

Many countries still don't need a visa, you just fill out your itinerary ahead of time online and pay ~$20 USD equivalent fee(thanks to e0qdk for the conversion).

Instead of filling out a visit registration card after arrival, you fill out your visit registration ahead of time online.

Streamlines entry, boosts security.

While I agree with you on most points (and thank you for taking the time to answer so well and moderate subs), I think that giving a counter point like you did was enough and did not require to censor the comment.

I totally understand; I hate it when my comments are removed too, even if I break a rule, haha.

I do have high standards and hopes for the content of this community and incorrect information simply doesn't serve community members and interested travelers in any way.

Negative opinions are generally acceptable and I leave many dissenting opinions up in this community, but not at the expense of accurate, helpful information.

I appreciate you discussing this with me and I'll keep your opinion in mind regarding comment removal in the future.
