so i am old enough to be your dad. if you were my kid, i would be super proud. i teach my kids 2 things. don't be in debt. don't be a burden on society. you need to do a TED talk.

Exaaactly!! I read a book called Big Magic and this is what I wrote in my journal: "I think they had faith I would always be able to take care of myself because they taught me to. The golden rule in my family is this: if you're supporting yourself financially and you're not bothering anyone else. Then you're free to do whatever you want with your life. Maybe because they didn't worry too much about me, I didn't worry too much about me either. It also never occurred to me to go ask an authority figure to go ask permission to become a writer. I'd never seen anyone in my family ask anyone for permission to do anything They just made stuff. So that's what I decided to do. I decided to just go make stuff."

I 100% agree with using workaway as a means of travel. I’ve had the most amazing experiences using workaway, mostly working in hostels all over the globe. Workaway has allowed to travel to Norway, Turkey, Israel, and Morocco so far and I plan on doing it again! I always recommend it to people looking to travel on a budget. Another benefit of using workaway is long term travel and befriending the locals. It changes your whole experience :)

It's so annoying, I had the same thing! Now I don't travel full time but I travel a lot and lately I was out for 9 months backpacking and so so many people thought my parents were funding it.. NO just NO It's especially sad cause then they don't understand that they can do it aswell. They just get jealous and think- yeah whatever her parents payed for that, she must be rich I can't do that. It's so sad cause so many people don't realize if they save up and work for it they could do it aswell, + it is really not that expensive and you can always work on the way (or volunteer).

Every ski resort has crews to clean rooms, make up beds and do laundry, every single day. Those crews usually get room and board, lift pass and minimal income (some do not pay any). This is everywhere Lots of yachts in the charter trade use stewardesses. That is a glorified word for house keeper and servant but, you are in great locations, you meet loads of people and you are in the warm and sun. Yes, you set and help serve breakfast, then clean the staterooms while the guests are off playing, you get to set and help serve lunch, you have some time to maybe windsurf/scuba dive/snorkel/lay in the sun, you set dinner and help serve it and in the end, someone has to wash and someone has to dry those dishes. Pay can be good and the tips can be marvelous.

Find presentations, events, festivals, talks around the things you’re interested in. If you love fashion find events near you you can go to, go interview a professor. Just reach out to anyone in the industry and ask them out to coffee (pay for it) or email them with VERY CLEAR and direct questions. I get “how can I travel” a lot. Those are hard to answer and hard to get back to. “I’m interested in yoga/ finance/ nursing is there any way I could travel with this in South America ” is so much easier to answer and connect people. If I have a good answer!
