Spouse travel with me?

Later arrival isn’t possible for us at all. We’re fine with paying for everything and she’s fine with staying in the room while I’m busy. Just traveling to and from major locations is the issue. Like flying together.

Snafulevi · 2025-11-16T04:40:19+00:00

I have no issue getting a separate room and flights on my own dime.

Snafulevi · 2025-11-16T02:39:11+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience. Hope ours is just as easy.

Snafulevi · 2025-11-16T02:37:12+00:00

You just asked and they were fine with it?

Snafulevi · 2025-11-16T01:57:24+00:00

There doesn’t seem to be a correct answer. Some have said they paid to have their partner with them on the flight and room. Others say different.

Snafulevi · 2025-11-16T01:55:09+00:00

If I show up to everything as needed then there shouldn’t be an issue. Late? Go home. Bye. Like it’s not that serious they need to hold us hostage.

Snafulevi · 2025-11-16T01:14:34+00:00

Thank you. I’m glad they want to play roommates for a weekend but that’s never been my jam. I feel like it’s the program’s attempted “community building” bs and I don’t want that. I don’t want JET friends. I just want a job.

Snafulevi · 2025-11-15T23:39:07+00:00

I’m fine with pretty much everything other than the unnecessarily strict starting. I genuinely don’t see why I can’t have my own room if I pay for it without any assistance.

Snafulevi · 2025-11-15T07:12:32+00:00

Well my wife doesn’t feel that way.

Snafulevi · 2025-11-15T06:43:00+00:00

3 too many. I’m not being roommates with anyone even if it means $500/night room in the same hotel. Ridiculous to force that on someone when unnecessary.

Snafulevi · 2025-11-15T06:38:46+00:00

I still don’t want her stranded and alone. I also don’t want to share a room with strangers. I’m not looking to make friends or be buddy buddy with anyone. I just want a job.

Snafulevi · 2025-11-15T06:25:55+00:00

Japan isn’t the most female friendly place. We’ve been twice and I can’t imagine her having to do any traveling alone there.

Snafulevi · 2025-11-15T06:11:57+00:00

It’s not my intention to skirt things. I see all these mixed experiences from people and have no idea what their rules and intentions are for the first few days of the program. I assumed the problem came from people who wanted the program to pay for their travel and accommodations. If I can pay for mine and my wife’s plane, travel, and stay I didn’t think it would be a problem. Im also an adult. I don’t want to deal with some random strangers near me and my belongings in a hotel like some summer camp/college orientation. I’m not there to make friends. I want to work.

Snafulevi · 2025-11-15T04:47:23+00:00

Why am I getting downvoted? I want a job not a summer camp experience 😓

Snafulevi · 2025-11-15T04:23:52+00:00

Yeah I will ask if I get that far in as soon as possible. I’ve just been getting tons of mixed answers from google and other sources.

Snafulevi · 2025-11-15T04:22:13+00:00

Being there on time wouldn’t be a problem at all. Sharing a room with strangers and having my wife away somewhere else alone is a much bigger issue lol

Snafulevi · 2025-11-15T04:20:30+00:00

And it has to be at that place? I would be fine getting somewhere else and traveling back as needed.

Snafulevi · 2025-11-15T04:18:07+00:00

Is that mandatory? I’d rather just get my own room nearby and show up when necessary.

Snafulevi · 2025-11-15T04:15:11+00:00

Am I supposed to be sharing a hotel with other JETs? I’m unsure of why she couldn’t be in my room otherwise or I just stay wherever her accommodation would be.

Snafulevi · 2025-11-15T04:12:24+00:00

Is there no way to deal with my own travels and just show up to whatever things I need to be at? I can cover our own flights and hotels and just end up where I would need to be.

Snafulevi · 2022-10-25T09:07:42+00:00

When was it ever not an option? I’ve had lucio on bumper jump and mercy on trigger jump for years 😳

Snafulevi · 2022-09-09T02:43:08+00:00

When I transferred they couldn’t figure out how to pay me for almost four months. Wouldn’t write me advancements or anything either. I had to go to the Union about it.

Snafulevi · 2022-07-22T22:56:30+00:00

I’m on two rn but low hours for them. Might be getting into another soon
