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.

"the crops you grew harvested and fed to the non human animal were calories that did not end up in the human"
Yes, this is the aforementioned reallocation of calories.
'If someone gave you the choice today to be killed in your sleep...and then remove your memory...would you say yes?"
Nah. Thank you, though.
Good we agree on the second point, so if you wouldnt want to be killed in your sleep, and it would be murder to do it against your will, what is so different about a cow a chicken a pig a fish that makes it ok to kill them when they dont want to or need to die for your taste preference.
You've been veering into misinformation territory for a while now. Please only address comment content going forward, rather than your assumptions or anxieties.
"...what is so different about a cow a chicken a pig a fish that makes it ok to kill them..."
Nothing.
I do not think it's okay to kill animals, humans included.
If you have a direct question, ask it. No more of your straw men or misinformation.
If I've said something thats misinformation I'd like you to point it out so that I can learn, otherwise I'm just going to keep repeating it elsewhere because I haven't knowingly said anything false
Thank you.
Drawing conclusions on your own unsubstantiated conclusion that I think killing animals is "ok" because I eat animals is misinformation.
You are following your own prejudices and fabricating topics rather than addressing a civil conversation.
"If you thought killing animals was not ok you wouldnt be doing it"
You can ask me directly, you have no reason to make things up.
I do not. Again, your assumptions and prejudices are not getting you anywhere.
You have already stated you do not care about plant lives because you do not consider plants sentient. Keep your questions logically relevant and responsive to existing comments rather than your prejudice.
I'm not, although I do approve of harvesting plants and animals for food.
Speak for yourself, not for others.
"We can be healthy eating plants theres no need for anyone to die."
People die regardless of how many plants they eat.
A cannibal could use that same argument, yes people die from all sorts of reasons but deliberately killing someone who doesn't need to die is murder. If you can survive eating cheap readily available plant foods bread rice pasta lentils veg fruit potatoes etc then the CHOICE to eat an animal is a CHOICE to fund their continued slaughter and confinement, its like paying an assassin, you share responsibility with the assassin
Did someone tell you that eating meat is not a choice?
Many people are able to choose their diets.
I don't.
Remember, no false attributions.
You may ask questions, but may not spread misinformation.
You are wrong again.
If you have a direct question, ask it. No more of your straw men, assumptions, or misinformation.
How am I wrong you've said you eat other animals, eating animals requires killing them so you must think its ok to kill them
"How am I wrong"
You are making assumptions and arguing against your own assumptions while pretending you are arguing against others.
Define "you must think its ok to kill them" without your prejudice or assumptions. Base your definition on the comments you are responding to.
"you obviously think its morally ok."
It's obvious to you because it's your own opinion, not mine.
Harvesting animals for food is appropriate and natural.
No misinformation, remember. You may ask community members questions but are not allowed to make up their answers for them.
Humans are an animal, under what conditions would you find it acceptable to harvest humans for food? Feel free to give a difference answer but I'm going to preempt three common responses I get: 1. its never ok to kill and eat a human even when you're starving: then what is so different about cows pigs chickens that makes it ok to do to them, when we have thousands of edible plant species, 2: its ok to eat humans if they are already dead and you're starving: ok then is that the situation you find yourself in w/ regards to eating other species? 3: its ok to kill and eat humans in a survival situation in the name of self defense: ok again are you in a life or death situation, are there not bread rice beans pasta fruit and veg for you to get nutrients from?
"are there not bread rice beans pasta fruit and veg?"
In the life or death survival situations you are making up?
No, there are not.
this is a misunderstanding of the responses, the question of "when is cannibalism justified" is used here to draw parallels to when eating flesh of other species is justified, if you wouldnt do it to a human in the same situation why would you do it to a cow pig chicken fish duck goose etc
That isn't a misunderstanding, you just didn't get the answer you wanted.
