HOW I AFFORD TO TRAVEL (to 189 countries)

The most popular question I get is how, "Drew, How can you afford to travel?" -- so in this video, I give you a complete breakdown of how I've made money to afford my trips to 189 countries.

No, I am not rich and no, I don't take money from my parents.

I pay for all of my travel expenses out of money that I earned from hard work, and it has involved A LOT of pivoting to whatever is currently working out for me at the time (teaching English -- travel blogging -- Snapchat -- Instagram -- Video making -- ???)

In the second half of this video, I give you tons of tips and advice for how YOU can find jobs abroad (or remotely) to essentially travel for free. If you have any to add, please comment them below!

This is meant to be an inspirational video, so I hope it triggers some of you to realize how many opportunities are out there because YOU CAN do this too, if you choose! All you need is a wifi signal, a computer and a little bit of courage :)

I paid for a lot of my travels by working in national parks in the US and Canada. You get to work in a beautiful place, go hiking and backpacking, meet cool people and at the end of a few months you have money left over and can then go traveling to other countries around the world. Work six months, travel six months, go back home broke and do it all over again.

You are incredible, thank you for the inspiration, my husband and I are in our 50s, and are about to start travelling full time.

All travel vlogs are good, but drew is fun, relaxed and simple which is nice.

Drew, I feel like you responded to me directly on this one as I have mentioned a couple of times how the heck can you afford the travel life. Thanks for your transparency on the issue and appreciate your telling everyone about different job opportunities overseas to support travel habit. You are in good times, when I was your age society would have labeled you as a loser because you didn’t fit into any of the things that we got into at that time. You are to be applauded, life is not about degrees, job status, house size etc. The winner is truly the one that has experienced the great amount of visual beauty and cultural experience that you have been able to. Be safe and maybe I will see you in the phils some day

I'm from Brazil and I live in China for eight years, there are plenty of English teachers earning good money here, enough to travel whole Asia and enjoy a good life in China. All u said is true. :D

I decided to go to college to become a sailor. I can work half the year and spend the other half traveling. I will say this channel has definitely influenced me in making that decision. Thanks Drew!

On a side note, I think in addition to visiting foreign countries, I want to dedicate a good amount of time to traveling around my own country, the USA. The 50 states are so diverse and I really only know the New England, New York and Florida areas. I want to visit Everglades, the Bonneville salt flats, drive route 66, visit the desert in Oregon desert, see the west coast, the Pacific northwest, go skiing in park city, go diving in Utah, go to the indoor mountain bike park in Ohio, etc. The USA is soooo diverse.
