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.

ATR of sorts? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATR_42
Interesting, I saw a different plane take off yesterday afternoon and noticed it had two front mounted wing propellors.
I'd say you've set me on the right path, thanks!
It looks like an ATR 42 operated by SATENA airlines, the national airline of Colombia. The ATR 72 (also operated by SATENA) is longer.
it really does, thanks!
