How To Travel The World For Cheap

In this video, we will debunk the myth that you need thousands of dollars to travel the world. In 2019, I’ve taken 35+ flights around the world. It is my hope that I can share some of the strategies and tips that I have learned when it comes to saving money while traveling.

I love traveling! Saving money and budgeting while traveling allows me to go on more trips than the typical person. If you find value in this video, be sure to subscribe to the channel!

The most expensive part of travel for me is the time I have to take off work and don't get paid for 🙃

I've never couch surfed. I keep thinking I'll end up dead in someone's freezer.

Bro, Philly to Vegas for only $15, that’s like the cost of a Philly cheesteak!

Best tip: make an income while you travel. Last year spent 2 months traveling Europe and came back with more money than I left thanks to an IG business. If your income is remote you can travel full time rather than once or twice a year for a week. Cool seeing more cinematic content! Awesome video

That's awesome. When you're young and before you have a family this the way to go. Living it up.

Eating at a local restaurant or saving on hotels so you can do more is just as fun for travelers as the "luxury" experiences! The more you spend, often you just end up buying a steak and a night at the Westin hotel...

One tip: just because a flight says 100$ round trip doesn’t mean that’s all it will cost. Many airlines charge expensive fees for carry-ons and bag checks. So the total could actually be an additional 200$ more even though the plane ticket was only a given amount. This was mentioned near the end of the video but I just wanted to clarify and explain a little. Hope this helps, keep it up ❤️👍

Another tip to keep in mind this month. Last year, I wanted to go to Sweden but tickets were on average $900-$1300 round trip. HOWEVER, I pulled up ticket prices within a few days after Thanksgiving and prices were $300-$600. If you're planning a trip for early 2020, maybe take a look on the Monday/Tuesday after Thanksgiving and see if you get similar results!

In September my husband and I (we are in our early 60’s) spent 2 weeks traveling in Perú. We stayed at places called hostels; however all of these had some rooms with a private bathroom. We paid $30-$40/night, but the communal spots were $15-$20/night. We had wonderful conversations and met great people. Much more interesting than the vanilla-plain chain hotels!

See how it says 38-42$ for a carryon bag and 36-42$ for the first checked bag?

Thats how they get you

To see someone my age doing things like this is a blessing.



Thank you Nate

Re making friends in hostels, three years ago I was staying in a hostel in Copenhagen and got chatting to a lady sharing my room, we're now best friends and she lets me stay in her flat in Copenhagen for free :)

[elliotsmith]

$15 dollar flight?!? I’ve looked all over the internet and can’t find anything under $70

[mccollum]

I just found your channel by accident. I save money for 6month, then go to SE Asia and volunteer for 6 months. I’ve been doing this for the last 7 years. Now I’m in Vietnam living on $5/day and loving it!!! This is my kind of video, subscribed!!!

He’s only 21 but damn you are pretty smart & knowledgable

I came back from my stressful day at my Japanese university, sat down in my apartment. Opened up the vid.

My brain: I can't escape...

Just a tip with both Frontier AND Spirit: buy a bag specifically for them. They're very specific about one carry on item only. You can avoid $17.99 each way by booking at the airport usually (your frontier fare seems to have had the "passenger facility fee" already removed).

I travel a lot with my family and everything said in this video is great advice but there are a few other things that should be said/emphasized:


1. Carry on luggage will sometimes have a weight limit but besides that, it is significantly cheaper and more convenient than checked luggage
2. Book flights (especially across seas) as early as possible not just a few weeks. A flight from California to Paris with a week notice can be close to $1000 whereas 5 months notice is about $400
3. If you're staying in a spot for a few days go to a store and buy oatmeal, ramen, ect. Like the vending machine in the video, it will be much cheaper than buying full cooked meals
4. Rather than load up on souvenirs, find a specific thing you want to collect on trips. Personally, I really love getting a small sticker to put on my suitcase. They're cheap and take up no space.
5. Understand the monetary conversion for the country you're going to. Many places that attract tourism can overcharge for a lot of things. By having a good understanding of the country's money in comparison to your country's money you can better judge if an item is worth the cost.

i love your attitude towards traveling. you're very open minded i think that's why traveling seem nice to you

Yo Nate, it's the guy from the capsule hotel, Mike. It was good chatting with you. Glad to see you took some of those shots that Rey got when he and I went walking that one night.
