FAQ


"How much does traveling cost?"

Cost of living(rent, utilities, data/wifi, groceries) is $500 USD per month for most countries, $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.

Hi, I’ve been traveling for about 15 years.

You can access quality housing, food security, health care, education, transportation and other basic civil amenities abroad that may be otherwise unaffordable or inaccessible to you.

If you have a remote job that pays over $500 USD a month, there are over a hundred countries you can be living in. If you make over $1000 USD a month remotely, the world is wide open.

If you don’t have a remote job yet, teaching English on or offline pays $1600-10,000 a month.

You can use the extra time and money to figure out how to get closer to your dream job, dream country or chill out and watch movies or play video games all day.

Stay out of the US 11 out of 12 months(calendar year, not tax year) and you don’t pay federal income tax on your first ~$126,500 USD that year.
