Everyone loves to travel, but the only real thing keeping us from all doing it full time is a little thing called money. Have you always wanted to quit your job and travel the world?
Well, I have given it a thought too
Traveling can be expensive. But there are also lots of incredible ways to get around the globe when you basically have no money. Here are 10 ways to travel the world on a budget.
1. Work On The Go:
A lot of jobs include travel. So why not work while you travel. Forget office jobs, try working on a cruise ship or even teaching abroad. One of my friends teaches a fitness class in each place he visits and he has never been happier. Every so often a postcard will arrive in the post from a new place he is in and I am not jealous at all - I swear.
2. Online Freelance jobs:
Digital jobs are on the rise and as a result, working remotely is also on the rise. Why not book a cheap flight, grab your bag and laptop and work from a coffee shop with wifi in almost any city. Your boss won't mind once you're getting your work there is also a tonne of co-working spaces which take in people just like you who have decided to work remotely. This is definitely worth checking out.
2.Crowdfunding
Kickstarter put online crowdfunding on the map — it's basically when you get other people to pay for something that you want. But did you know that you can crowdfund entire vacations, not just tangible things? Check out Travolta, Indiegogo, GoFundMe, YouCaring, and FundAnything.
4. Free Guided Tour
You don't have to pay for all guided walking tours — there are lots of free ones around the world if you know where to look. Check out the Free City Tour, which lists all of the ones you don't have to pay for around the globe, from Paris to Sydney to Jerusalem and more.
5. Have Airbnb Fund You:
Airbnb is great for finding a sweet place to stay on your vacation — but it can also help you fund your travel in the first place. If you're going away, be sure to put your apartment on Airbnb while you're gone. That way, you'll be earning back the cash you're spending on your accommodations.urther.
6. Volunteerism:
Never heard this word before? Well, it's about to change your life. That’s volunteer + tourism. It’s basically when you go on a trip to do something that helps the locals — like teaching English as a second language, or building houses and schools for communities in need — and in return, your stay is compensated.
7. Hitchhiking:
Hitchhiking is a free way to get around that is relatively safe and quite common in many parts of the world, including Central America, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. I’ve hitchhiked in more than a handful of countries (and I know solo female travelers who have done the same!). Sure, it has a bad reputation in North America, but with some common sense and a bit of patience, you can hitchhike almost anywhere — saving you tons of money in the process!
8. Stay In Hostels
This one is pretty obvious but it cannot be overstated just how much more wallet-friendly budget accommodation options like hostels are compared with hotels, resorts, and rental homes. Not only are you getting lower prices (some hostel beds are literally just a couple of dollars per night), but you’re getting the authentic backpacker atmosphere, and memories to last a lifetime.
