Wait a minuteeeeeeee 😂

This is what my last year looked like in a nutshell. I also have 6 more years of travels to show you.

Quite frankly, sometimes I want to be boring but then I find myself hopping on another flight, laughing with strangers, staying in luxury resorts, hitch hiking across countries you wouldn’t step in, and…getting paid to post travel content.

Pinch me please. So grateful for this life and to those who call me boring. Where should I go next for country #71? 😉

If you’re new here, let’s be friends!

I help others create a life of freedom. If you’re curious how I make money while traveling the world,

comment ‘I’m in’

and I’ll send you my most recent substack breaking it all down. You’ll also receive remote job opportunities, travel opportunities and content creator opportunities to get you well on your way.

I’m rooting for you!

I have a travel problem…

I can’t stop 😂 I knew flying was going to be a huge expense so I thought…how can I fly for free?

That’s when I started learning about travel credit card hacking!

It’s literally changed my life. And I’m here to tell you that you can get free flights too!

Let’s get your money to start working for you!

3 things I’d do immediately if I was starting from zero:

1. stop using debit for everyday spending
2. pick ONE solid starter card (not 5 random ones)
3. actually understand your rewards instead of ignoring them

I always tell people to compare first instead of blindly choosing. .comofficial makes it really easy to see what actually fits your lifestyle.

Comment ‘CARD’ and I’ll help you get well on your way to smarter spending and hacking your first free flight!

Let me know what other questions you have below :)

“HOW?!”

I used the Travel Spend app (🔗in bio) to calculate every purchase which totaled up to give me an average of $33.19 per day. I rounded up to 10k for this video.

Here’s a few tips that have helped me travel affordably for the past 7 years:

— carry on only
— learn how to use credit cards to fly for free (I only paid for a few cheap short flights during this time. All long flights were paid by points)
— travel in the off season
— ask for discounts
— have a cc that doesn’t charge you atm fees
— use public transport
— stay just outside of the touristy areas
— travel off the beaten path

I think it’s also important to mention that:

I am not your typical budget backpacker. I’d consider myself a flash packer. I like my comforts these days. I eat nice meals often, I stayed in really nice hotels sometimes, I booked taxis when necessary, and never had to turn down anything I really wanted to do because of cost. For me, it’s all a balance. I’ve mastered the art of this you could say from lots and lots of travel experience. I recently hit 7 years on the road if you missed that!

I’m a content creator so I was able to get some hotels in exchange for content as well as some meals and tours.

I traveled with someone else for a big portion of this trip which helped offset costs. Most of my travels I have traveled solo so this was new for me! I was able to sustain approx the same budget though based off of previous trips which you can see from previous $ reels that I posted.

Volunteering is the biggest hack to travel affordably! Free accommodation and food, often free activities too. I think this was my first trip where I didn’t volunteer actually! I now make enough money that I don’t feel the need to volunteer anymore. Comment ‘Volunteer’ + I’ll send you what I use.

Housesitting! Similar to the above! It’s an incredible tool to travel on a budget. I didn’t use it this trip but I’ve used it lol around the world and will be looking to do some this summer. Comment ‘Housesit’ + I’ll send you what I use.

I can go on and on about this topic as it’s something I’m so passionate about!

So, traveli

Travel has taught me way more than I ever expected 🥹
Not just about the world, but about myself too. Tbh it’s totally changed my life for the better.

It’s the random connections, the culture, the moments you can’t plan that really stay with you.

It’s so much deeper than just photos or what you post on Instagram… it actually changes you.

I wonder if I’ll ever stop 😂 7 years later and 70 countries!

What’s something travel has taught YOU?
