How to get to Asia for 'free':
Apply for an English teaching job in Korea
All that is required is a criminal Background check and a copy of your degree. However, these must be notarised AND apostilled
Total cost: 100-150 dollars. Total time to acquire relevant documents: About one month
Upon arrival in Korea: Either go through with the job and utilise your FREE apartment that comes with it (and the 2100+ USD a month salary), or do a runner to another country when you land in Seoul. To each his own. Just putting this 'hack' out there
(Also, if anyone ever goes job hunting in Taiwan and is on a super-tight budget. Time to travel hostel is 5000NT a month and you'll have a dorm room to yourself and practically the whole hostel to yourself a lot of the time.)
