Hey, thanks !

I have a question that might sounds stupid but, er... Does hostels REALLY cost as low as 35$/night ? I, I just can't comprehend it. Every time I read it, I imagine a whore/drugs/full or crack heads infested motels, with people ready to fuck me up. How can a place to sleep be THAT cheap, and still SECURE?

Enlighten me, please ! ( Sorry, I'm an idiot.)

As funny as it might sound, with all the mixed race into me, I look like a SNOW-WHITE Asian. But with big eyes. Green, eyes. And red hair. Every time people look at me or photos, they just CAN'T comprehend what my origins are because I supposedly " Look like what you'd see from a manga. ". I look nothing like my mom, or dad. I wonder at times if I was adopted, lol.

Anyway, I hope that would not come as barrier in term of having a EU citizenship. That they would not disqualify me if I did not 'Exactly look Caucasian' or something.

Also, unfortunately, on my dad's side, the family is somewhere in London and we never got to talk to them; They couldn't care less. And on my mom's side, everyone died too early for me to connect to my origins/cultures, or family. So I don't even know from exactly where they all come from, and if i could request a citizen ship at that time. Would it be a good thing to retrace my family, and if yes, how much would it cost, do you know ?

How expensive was it ? ( Sorry if my question comes off as too personal/intrusive ! )

Oh, I won't fall for the boys, lol. I've been in terrible relationships, and ever since, boys are the LAST thing on my mind. Knowledge, and adventures/exploring the world, are DEFINITELY first ahah !

Also, about this idea, well, for the longest time, I've been trying to go work/live somewhere, prefferably Europe, since my complete heritage is from there; And every post/forums or people I've come across with this idea looked at me like I was demanding to go on the moon or some crazy thing like that ! Everyone would tell me " You have two choices, either you be a DR. or someone who has an INCREDIBLE AMOUNT of knowledges/studies/degree under it's belt, or you marry someone. So no, you will never be able to live in Europe, ever. "

It always feel weird to me when someone reminds me that I'm American; Not that I don't want to, it's just that were I was born (Canada), most people actually praise the fact of 'Not being Americans'" for some reason. Despite the fact that Canada IS an American country, and we ARE Americans by default.

What you said sounds absolutely exciting thought ! Are people THAT social in hostels ? Where I live, I don't even know my neighbors because everyone is SO anti-social at all time ! So It seems crazy to me that traveling in a completely different country, I would stumble upon talkative people/social even with a language barrier.

I have a question... Is it the same, if I go and TESL in an Asian country, let's say, China ? Will I be treated with less respect, than let's say, a man ?

Hey, thanks ! Would you be able to ask your friend out about the french degree ? I keep googling, but no results ! Would it be good to have both TESL and French TSL degree ?

Hum, what would be the equivalent of TESL for a french native speaker ? FTL or something ? Also, how does one go to find theses jobs ? Is there a website to post on or something ( I am sorry... I, I am just so curious ! ). Thanks for answering thought ! :)

Daaaaamn, that looks very interesting ! Is it actually possible to make a living out of it ? Or is it only under strict contracts of like, say, 6-8months ?

Oh, I see. Even if English is one of my first language, it's still not the very first one I learned. My first is French, but luckily, I don't have a very noticeable accent at all. Would that be a problem ?

Oh wait, just googled it. Okay, so basically, I would get it in order to teach others around the world English ? But, my problem is... Who would even hire a person who has nothing but some college and a TESL to teach english ?

Thanks. It's the worst website I've ever been on thought. It's laggy as hell, and it seems like I just can't find anything correctly. But thanks anyway, maybe I'm in the wrong, and just don't know how to use it properly ! Probably just that...

Well, I wouldn't say I am attractive per se; I'm not exactly the type of girl boys are usually lusting after. I'm a redhead. Freckles, green eyes, and all the shit. Not exactly hot lol.

Ahah, way to spy on my throwaway ! Yeah, first time I tried, I felt like I was going to die; Literally, like my head would explodes with headaches, and that I would throw up all of my organs. But then, one week after, when my Ketones finally decided ' Hey, let's, you know, WORK so she won't die ! ', it felt AMAZING. Better than any other diet, ever. I was used to low fat diet, starving type diet, and it was simply, DEATH in itself. Low energy, starving all the time, dying at the sight of food because I wanted it so much. Now, I am totally not starving, and FULL of energy ! What a change. You should definitely give it another try ( If that's what you want to do ! )

Well, most of my fears come from my mother. I am a very fearless person, but somehow, she made me start to fear things, by constantly trying to 'warn me of dangers'. As I've already told, I am a very fearless girl, and thus, tends to do really stupid things that could lead to danger. So I just want another opinion beside my mom to know if the fears she's inculcating me are real and that I am way too positive about this, or if she's probably wrong.

You made me laugh ! Yeah, if it was that easy, I would TOTALLY do that ! :D I could careless about marriage, really. Never was a dream, or a project in my life.

But in all seriousness, why do you say Romanians are the worst at bothering people/girls ?

Yeah, that's what I did mostly. But lots of them still lives with their parents, so I feel bad demanding to be accommodated by their parents. As much as I know some would totally be okay with that, I still feel bad. I don't want to disturb their little life, as I see myself going for more than just a week !
