Q&A for any and all questions you might have about traveling.



FAQ


are there requirements to be an ESL teacher other than being a fluent English speaker?

nope.

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.


how can you afford to travel long-term?

The cost of living in most countries is around $500 USD a month for transportation, rent, utilities and food altogether; teaching English pays $2000 USD a month with zero qualifications or experience.

every month I taught English, I had a few extra months of my cost of living.

I taught English for about 7 years.

as long as you're making more than 500 USD a month remotely in any job, you can travel long-term.


What's the best country?

Pffft get outta here.

Rules

  1. No misinformation

  2. Be civil

I really like the bendy hypnotic lines and heavy gold clash. A good mascot as long as he sticks around.

From a tiny indie comic-con in Philly, iirc.

He's been traveling inside the bag so far, but it's time for him to spread his wings.

Read "nutsahck" and winced

The patch would be a bold statement either way.

Still, rucksack seems preferable.

And it's even from my neck of the woods!
