FAQ
"How much does traveling cost?"
Cost of living(rent, utilities, data/wifi, groceries) is $500 USD per month for most countries, up to $1000 for most others.
"Health care and insurance?"
Health care and insurance abroad are both pennies on the US dollar for the highest quality of medical care
"What about visas?"
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.
"How do you make money while 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.
"What qualifications do I need as an English teacher?"
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.

Dinuguan is my favorite. It's a pork stew made with blood. It's somewhat sweet actually.
Not sure on how regional it is or anything.
I know it doesn't look or sound very appealing lol. But it's good.
Dinuguan, I'll keep an eye out for it, thanks.
I'm not usually for sweet food, but it seems like sweet is a pretty prominent flavor in filipino food?
It's sweet because it's blood and blood is that way. It's sweet and savory.
I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on Filipino food, never actually been. Every time I order it they look at my white ass and ask me if I know what it's made of lol.
I've had blood sausages and stews before, but never a sweet one, now i'm really curious.
I guess there's that tang, like coppery tang, but i always literally thought the word tang rather than sweet with that flavor, although it is kind of subtly sweet. Interesting, thanks.
Haha, i get s lot of kitchen double takes and side glances, especially if i order a dish by its proper name.
Or spicy, i'm often asked if i'm sure i want something spicy. And they make it spicy but it looks like none of them believe me or they shake their head like i don't know what i'm doing
