Four years ago I sat across my partner in our New York City flat and shared with him I was worn out and so sick of living in the megalopolis that I had to make an important change in my lifestyle. Of course, I adored his plan; exploring has actually always been one of my biggest interests. We reserved one direction flight tickets to Portland the very next morning, and several weeks later left The big apple forever.
In the last four years we went to the entire world's most magnificent and unique destinations, like Machu Picchu in Peru to the Mountain ranges in Nepal, Wadi Rum desert in Jordan and even Java island in Indonesia. It is really no unexpected that "How do anyone sustain to travel this far ?" is a question I usually get asked equally face to face and using my social media. Many people suppose, that I am either preying on a trust account, or perhaps have already saved lots of hard earned cash before starting this journey. But to be frank, we got no flow of earnings and very little funds saved when we figured out to begin our travels. At that minute, I had no idea how the hell we could afford it, but I am actually so grateful that my concerns didn't prevent us from chasing our wish.

We went all over the U.s. for roughly a year and paid virtually nothing. We rarely ever spent on any sort of rental during the course of that precious time (however we often had a very good-- and quite often very elegant-- place to stay) and used little money on transportation. We even were taking first step our own small business during that time - absolutely, that is quite possible to get the job done on the journey-- and actually succeeded to save some funds while exploring. I have published numerous posts regarding budget travel and just recently publisheded a "The best way to Traveling On A Small Budget" manual to encourage more folks to get out of their comfort zone and search a dream of wandering the entire world. I like to show men and women, that it is actually possible to travel the world using little cash and even totally free!

I am usually now exploring the globe six months a year and staying in the Tropical Island the rest of the time. Wandering has indeed opened so many locked doors for me. Exploring full-time is really not like going on getaway, it involves a lot of work and also a mind which is open to all things.
