With Co-vid ruining plan after plan, for the foreseeable future a more secure option to be able to live in a different country is to look into English teaching jobs abroad. Although, only apply to jobs if teaching jobs abroad if you are actually interested in the job and not just interested in the travel. After all, you will actually have to do the job! Many countries such as those in Asia provide cheap accommodation alongside the job or you can always find your own. In countries with more expensive accommodation such as Australia, they pay a really high rate. So where ever you work, you should be able to save up a nest egg for future nomadic travels for once the school year is over. You could then work on an online platform such as Cambly as a digital nomad to keep yourself afloat while you explore the world.
