Hi, I've been traveling for 15 yearsish and it is an absolutely dynamite financial decision in terms of saving money and accruing capital. It costs about $500 usd per month (rent, utilities, wi-fi/data, groceries) to live in most countries.

If you're a fluent English speaker, you have a guaranteed job with nearly 2 billion English students looking to pay you $10 to $100 per hour for a skill you've been practicing your whole life.

If you want any info/details/context, ask here, the Travel community, or message me.

No worries, is this the travel community or is this your instance, or both potentially, some elaborating might ease the situation

Travel community, I understand less than a step above nothing on the backend of lemmy.

I really don't mean to dig deep but it seems like it's just you posting. Is this a sub you're trying to get off the ground or something?

Yep. There are no active travel communities on the fediverse, and especially at a time when so many people are talking about living abroad, there should be a resource available for them.

I should mention that one lemstituent has already started living abroad because of this information being available, so it's definitely been worth the effort.

Lemstituent, I like that.

I hope it takes off for ya

Got to be one that takes!
