I always feel like the hands-free bidet is sneaking up on me, I prefer the control and manual aim/pressure of the gun.

congrats, that's genuinely great to hear!

I felt the same way after my first bidet use in Thailand.

i was like what? WHAT? toilet hygiene already exists!? why are the cavemen using paper!?

i might have a little revelation for you: the backwoods bidet.

use a lighter to heat up a fork tine, press the first 2 mm of the tine under the lip of the flange under the cap to make a small 2x1mm hole, fill the bottle with water, flip upside down and squeeze.

instant bidet.

i am not joking, it has completely changed how I travel since now I can travel to any country and not be irritated by the lack of a bidet.

plastic bottle, small hole near the top, fill with water, pressure water bidet by squeezing the bottle.

revolutionary.

I actually have a $10 thing I travel with called a "Happy Po." Just a water bottle with a twist on nozzle.

Works OK, but not the same.

Plus for more magic marker poops, you might need to get up and refill it. Although when I was in Italy, I could refill from the tub while on the toilet.

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?

Depends on what you're looking for.

For backpacking, Japan. For natural history museums, Ireland. For food, China. For cost of living, Cambodia or India.
