This video is dedicated to my Dad, who paved the way for me by eating cereal for dinner in our campervan and showing me just how accessible travel could be <3

A few extra tips I forgot to mention:
- I always find the cheapest time to book is 6 weeks before I fly
- I always fly Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays as businessmen tend to fly Mon/Fri and families on weekends
- The app "Hopper" can show you when flight prices are expected to go up or down
- If a flight is full, offer to be bumped to the next one as you'll receive airline credit (or sometimes cash!)

I learned these 2 things from my friends who traveled across the US + Mexico in their van:
- If you’re camping or in an RV, IOverlander is a free app that shows you all of the free + paid campsites and lists amenities as well. You can choose to just look at the free ones and if you’re ok with no restrooms it’s a great way to see more of nature. Most national parks have forests right outside of them where you can disperse camp and then get to the park extra early!
- In the US, every planet fitness location has a free 1 day pass. So they would plan their shower days around the gym locations and they could work out if they wanted to as well!

Loved this video, Ally!! I absolutely agree that travel can be so much more accessible than what people think!! Crossing my fingers that it’ll be safe enough soon for us to all put these hacks to use!!

If you ever visit Scotland as a person who uses period products and/or condoms, go to a student Union or use the bathrooms on a Uni/college campus and you can stock up on these items for free :)
(Some other countries may do this too?)
Another general one is to take a reusable water bottle and whenever in a cafe/restaurant ask them to fill it for you with tap water! Saves on buying fresh bottled and helps the environment!

I loved this so much! It's going to be be really helpful for me to know these things when I start traveling when i'm older:)

Absolutely loved this video, can't wait to travel again! I actually had a really great experience couch surfing in Toronto! Me and my friend stayed with this super lovely guy who showed us his neighbourhood, let us cook is his kitchen while he was at work and even brought us to some awesome vegan restaurants 😁❤️

Good video, well done 🏖🏕🏜 I love to travel as well. Great channel, keep up the good work 🌍🌎🌏🗺🧭

Check the cost of your flight at the stopover point. A round trip flight from DC to LA and a round trip ticket from LA to Tokyo, is MUCH cheaper than a round trip ticket from DC to Tokyo. and you have to hang out at the LA airport for over 12 hours waiting for the next leg of the flight. Use the $500 bucks for a hotel room and a good meal!

The tip I have is to WEAR COMFTORABLE SHOES! I have made the mistakes of wearing brand new hiking boots on an 8 mile hike which gave me blisters the rest of the trip. Also learning that not everything is a fashion show.... I think it is better to be comfy and practical than good-looking (even if I am taking pictures). !! I love your video btw!! <3

[kapachan]

Thank you so much. This is all such great advise. Much of which I never would have thought of. Will definitely be using in the future!!!

[gabriellengrvc]
