Cost of living(rent, utilities, data/wifi, groceries) is $500 USD per month for most countries, $1000 for most others.
Health care and insurance abroad are both pennies on the US dollar for the highest quality of medical care
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.
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.
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.

No misinformation
Be civil
The one closer to the camera was more pushy, so they didn't get the last carrot.
Feeding elephants is one of the highlights of my life. It felt magical to me!
Love to hear it! There were a bunch of kids and their parents and I thought to myself "Well, you don't need to feed the elephants" and walked past the feeding area, but after a couple minutes thought "Yea but I want to and it will be fun." and I walked back and was very happy to have made the right decision.
What did you feed them?
They gave me little bananas to feed them and I can still remember it like it was yesterday! They were so sweet.
Tiny basket of mixed produce, onions, guava carrot sticks, and no joke one of those mini bananas!
Yeah it was a lot of fun, as soon as I held out of fruit or vegetable it was nabbed and chucked backward into their mouth and then they reached for another one.
At the end, the pushy one tried to get the last carrot stick while he was still holding a carrot stick in his trunk but I made sure to give it to the relaxed fella.
