This week we have one of the most interesting house hacking stories this season. We are going to be going across the globe to hear how The Happiest Teacher Zach has hacked his housing expenses entirely through teaching allowance.

Zach started his international teaching in Thailand after receiving his TEFL in America. After paying close to nothing to live in Thailand, he decided to go back to the States to receive his master’s in teaching. From there, he went to the Middle East to teach. While living in the Middle East, Zach received a housing allowance that allowed him to share a villa with a friend. The housing allowance turned out to be more than enough because at the end of the month Zach was pocketing almost $400 just from the stipend.

Teaching overseas was a very effective way for Zach to live for free AND travel. His teaching income allowed him to save the money to pay off debts he owed in America.
