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.

I’m just trying to explain trophic energy loss, not get in the middle of this- the number of calories that a pig eats during its lifetime is much smaller than the calories we can get from its meat. These calories aren’t “lost,” but they are used by the pig to support its growth, function, and movement. If we ate the soybeans used to feed it instead, we’d need to harvest fewer plants, because it’s more efficient to just get the calories from the plants than it is to also support an additional animal.
Thank you, context is valuable.
Calories are not "lost" when eaten, they are reallocated.
Efficiency also depends on context. Should you dig a hole manually or with a backhoe?
How big is the hole, how was the backhoe built, how far away is it, who owns it, what is its fuel, and so on.
"they" not "it" they're thinking feeling creatures with personality memory preferences fears and feel pain love grief and comfort, they are someone not something not an inanimate object and never "it" not calling other animals it is a simple thing we can do to subconsciously reduce speciesism in the world
