FAQ
"How much does traveling cost?"
Cost of living(rent, utilities, wifi, groceries) is $500 USD per month for most countries, $1000 for most others.
"Health care and insurance?"
Health care and insurance are both pennies on the US dollar abroad via medical tourism
"What about visas?"
Usually don't need them, the ones you need are almost all entirely online now, a fifteen minute form and nominal fee that is offset by the drastically lower cost of living in that country.
"How do you make money while abroad?"
Any job that nets you $500 a month works. There are over 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.

What's the weather like in Panama around September? I need someplace to relax for a month or so.
It'll still be the rainy season, so a great time to visit in my opinion.
Overcast skies but warm, comfortable to walk around, 2 out of 3 days you'll have some rain, but it's often very regimented, funny enough.
Morning will be warm, humid, overcast before noon, 2-5pm will have light to heavy showers, and then it's cooler in the evenings, showers overnight.
You're still in the tropics so it's never cold, but July and especially August have been very comfortable for me, and the rain comes and goes.
The city is a very comfortable urban environment too; rush hour can be busy 5-7pm, but all the people are laid back, polite, and sidewalks never get too crowded.
