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.

Not discounting your point, it's valid. It is cheaper, healthier, and 99+% of excuses are BS (barring excessive compounding of food allergies). Buuuuut it feels hypocritical if you support companies that leverage child/prison/slave labor because "it's impossible not to"; Aren't a bunch of Amish communities (almost) self sufficient? If not, I'm confident they at least support fewer morally grey companies than us. So why do you get to decide where the line is drawn?
I respect your passion, and agree with your mission. Just feels like youre going about it aggressively.
Probably a poor analogy, but would you rather join a religion that teaches "Hey, we should respect each other, and here's how", or "If you dont, eternal punishment. Shame during your lifetime. Eternal woe"
Fundamentally, it could be the same religion with different evangelists. You feel like the latter.
Thats the thing though if you are eating someones flesh you are fundamentally not being respectful, respect is earned and you stubbornly defending the decision to eat an innocent creatures flesh makes me see you as a violent person who doesn't deserve my respect
Please show me where I "stubbornly defend" eating meat. I literally agree with the message and disagree with your delivery.
I didnt say eating meat was OK, I called you a hypocrite for supporting other facets of reality that perturb conscious life, because it's "impossible" to avoid (see: communities that get a hell of a lot closer than you).
You used literally the same argument you despise from meat eaters.
Hilarious how someone who disagrees with your presentation format is immediately regarded as violent, maybe the religious reference was more apt than I expected, you zealot.
