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.

In the world of Instagram / YouTube influencers, aggressive promotions and hidden ads it is hard not to have false expectations.

The reality of cruise was different: some mediocre things were oversold, and others that are trully enjoyable were never mentioned. Some minor problems were exaggerated by Temu sellers, others, like squicking cabin, were missing.

We decided to put together expectations vs reality to counter false expectations.
