20 WAYS TO TRAVEL FOR FREE! ...REALLY!

I am 42 years old, I have spent most of my life travelling and working around the world. To date, I have been to 122 countries and lived in 14. I have always wanted to do a travel vlog but feel like I am too late since there are so many people doing it. I am a big procrastinator too. I would recommend all of your above tips as I have done most of them. Great video.

As an avid hitchhiker who has travelled across Europe and America by that means alone, I can say that it is possibly the greatest money saver as well as opener to experiences when it comes to travel. It is an ultimate freedom. But it CAN be dangerous for women in particular. I've probably been in over 200 strangers cars, and 2 of those were bad experiences. So whilst the odds of having a negative experience is REALLY low, all it takes is 1 dangerous experience to put an end to everything. Fortunately my 2 weren't THAT bad and I was able to weasel out of the car, but they could've easily taken a turn for the worse. It's safer than people think, but I wouldn't advise it either, just share my experience. Some tips if you are adamant on trying hitchhiking: Dress boyish, if you're a girl. Even go as far as to fool oncoming cars into thinking you're male. It'll be harder to get rides but at least you know that none of those cars are pulling over with bad (sexual) intention. Always be talkative and confident in a car. Confidence is key. Don't victimise yourself. Give oncoming cars loads of space to both see you and to stop. It can make the biggest difference. Never hitchhike at night or in late evening. Always keep your bag at arms distance incase you have to make a break for it. Always carry valuables on your person rather than your bag. Also, a knife. If someone pulls up to you and you don't like the look of them, don't feel like you should get in. Ask them for directions instead. They'll be pissed that you made them stop but at least you won't be in a confined space with them.

am dying here... i want to see this planet

For travelling : 1. Live in a country with high minimum wage 2. Live in a country with a decent passport 3. Save some money and you are good to go. Other wise you will face visa situation and you will need prepare tons of documents to get visa for every single country you wish to visit, and your savings won't be enough if you are middle class or poor, it will be impossible to travel frequently. Maybe once a year if you are hard working.

I'd love to see a video on becoming a travel blogger!

My tip: be first cousins with people that live overseas 🙂

Another tip would be Error Fares. Sometimes airlines send out false fares because somebody made a mistake and you can get international flights for next to nothing. These fares are taken out very quickly but if you are quick and a bit lucky you can get the cheapest flights possible. There are a lot of communities that look up error fares and post them. Just be flexible and quick. The best thing? You still get all the miles and perks as if you bought a full priced ticket

Become self sufficient before head off traveling.

I've tried woofing for a month in norway and it was a GREAT experience!

u still need money to get into the country cool way to save while traveling though

Guys i'm here for giving some support for each other YouTubers from all around the world! Respect

If your from 3rd world countries or basically not from usa its hard to even get out of the country. coz you have to get visa for every damn place and there is very low chance that you'l get visa

I am 15 and am looking to travel after finishing school, hopefully making money out of making videos and taking photos. This really helps to give me ideas of how to travel around on a budget, great video!

I’m doing house sitting and loving it!! Travel, live for free, explore countries and keep inspiring others to live their dream life. It’s possible! I’m older, so hostels or couches are not my thing... Happy journey!

I am a couchsurfer and it is good way to save money when traveling. Just be mindful to bring your host a small gift that is unique or cultural from your country. People abused couchsurfing as well. There is always the expense of increased electricity, water bill, cleaning bill and amenities and if you are hosting 50 persons a year that adds it.

number 10 - Derelict buildings, woodlands, stealth camping, beaches, building sites (country specific). So on and so forth.

During my motorcycle travel I met a lot of cyclist who cycle all around the world; from South-East Asia to Europe, around Africa, etc. It takes them multiple years. They mostly wild camp and sleep in their tent. They often live for around 10US dollar a day, some even for around 5 dollars. Normal daily cost is only for food. Sometimes they sleep in hostels when in cities. Depending on the country they have to pay for visa, sometimes a bit for bike repair, a travel insurance, and that’s about it. If you work hard for one year in a high wage country like Switzerland or Norway and live low budget while there, you can save up about 10k to 20k euro in a year. With this money you can cycle around the world for about 3 to 6 years. I hope this information is useful to someone.

You forgot stealth camping. That is living in vans or other motor vehicles and keeping a low profile.

I traveled for free as an athlete, sports show performer, coach, referee, but I saw little on such trips, since my main activity was there. Then I traveled on vacation for money: vacations and excursions are expensive, but you see the maximum. For the last 2 years I have been forced to live in a format of work and travel due to the war in my native Ukraine: it’s hard, semi-Spartan in everyday life, but interesting.

Señorita, when I went to sweet Norway which was only last year, I stayed at City Backpackers hostel and in the community kitchen there was a ton of pastor in the cupboards that guests leave behind. I stayed three nights and had pastor each night for dinner. Extra money saved.
