I didn't have a lot of money and I have done 70 countries and lived in 9. One doesn't need a lot of money to travel. One needs a plan. Have many connections. And have skills to sell. The world exposes itself to us and we learn to go go go. I don't regret my life. Do I have many world possessions? No! But I have hundreds of friends in 7 continents and I speak several languages.

When you travel make sure to open your mind and heart for adventures. Do unexpected decisions, explore unusual paths that you wouldn’t try in the comfort zones and most importantly: talk to strangers, make new friends and ask questions. Your memories, stories and experience found during those days form the body of your life.

Great video Robin. I'm going on around the world trip soon i'm quitting my job of 24 years. I'm 41 and I'm sure I will learn a lot about myself while travelling.

I'm traveling the world too. But, I'm retired (still in good shape mentally and physically) and kept my most important things in a small storage. Life is so simple without all the stuff and extra clutter. Living any other way makes you a slave to your stuff. No matter what you have you have to take care of it which means taking away your precious time for an animated object.

I got so tired during my study of my master, after that I spend a lot of time on the way. At first, I had no mood of new things or beautiful. Just threw myself out of the marsh. After a few weeks, things became a bit different. I started to talk to strangers along the way. And I was less depressed gradually. Now I move to a city I like and finally feel alive again.

I really love this video. It captures what I have been saying in my classes for years now. Can't wait to share it with my students. My students created a quote that sums up my philosophy which is "travel the world with an open mind and kind heart"... after watching this, I might add... with a smile on your face.

"People we meet create the paradise we find"

"I smile when I'm nervous and I laugh when I'm scared, because it sure beats screaming and crying."

I'm 22 yr old.....and I'm gonna start my travel from my country( India) ....around the world. ....and ur speech ..which is motivating ....hope I'll start sooner.....thanks

I do not regret not traveling, because I do, and it is awesome. Kudos fellow traveler. Once we stop seeing new things, we start dying.

Edwardo Morris of curse ,it's really true in this world.

This was a good speech! Love traveling and I believe, based on all of my traveling, the most important thing is your state of mind to deal with unknown. And I have to agree, the connection with people makes the place and travel an unbelievable experience.

This is the best speech I have heard in SO long...amazing! There are more people that want to help you than hurt you---love it!

I am so glad you got to experience and share these. I have travelled quite a bit, and totally feel you man. I am 18 and will travel more in my life :)

Hi

Awesome video Robin, thanks for all the travel tips to be safe & sound. Most importantly, you are an inspiration & an excellent motivator. You got me up! I'm ready to explore & discover the world 🌎. Thanks for sharing your travel experiences.👍🏽❤️

Amazing TED talk. Thanks Robin Esrock for giving me motivation for my soon starting journey to Tanzania.

What a beautiful lesson; it's the people you share the journey with that make all the difference :)

Yes! Such perfect timing for me to hear this, as usual! I love life, and shaking up routine is definitely necessary to keep it fresh!

these are the pople who show you reality instead of reality tv, thanks man

Well, this made a smile on my face! HUGE inspiration indeed, thank you Robin!^^

love this, "people you meet create the paradise you find"

I don't know how I may praise you, you are just awesome man. Love you.

So true. Loved your talk.thank you bless you n all your dreams come true.

8:53 this is so true. Travellers become victims when they look like victims. This is one of the best Ted talks on traveling. It deserves more views.

Great. Pleased to meet people. You are welcome to visit Vietnam ..

Really motivating speech. I’ve begun to go work using opposite side of the street.

You are echoing my beliefs! A smile goes a mile is my mantra for life in general.

had a hard time during the intro -- yet i absolutely agree with the ENTIRE concept of offering a smile to those with come in contact with and to never panic. this has served me as "weapon" in more places than i can write about. as a new york resident, i am prepared for the least imaginable challenge and more. however, that smile robin talks about … opens doors in the best of ways. fabulous advice. by the way, genuinly using the words: PLEASE and THANK YOU will never hurt. proven! :)

I have two provinces (and Zero territories) left to check of my Canada bucket list ( BC and NFLD). I definitely see travel in my future.

Thanks so much Robin..

Great advice- thank you for sharing your inspiration for travel with us!

I am 22 years and like seriously I just left AFRICA, I watched this video came at the right time, ROBIN words are soothing thumbs up Sir

I 100 percent agree that smiling will get you far in other countries.

Robin you are 100% correct on all points.!!! “Don’t panic” is top of the list. Great talk.!! Thank youuuuu😊👍🙏🌹🌎♥️👏

Travel is good for the soul!! :)

Yes this is what I'm talking about. This man has experienced it all, its so inspiring and this is exact what I hope to replicate! Traveling really does make you wise!

the guy has one of the most contagious smiles

Such an amazing and inspiring talk, thank you! ❤️

Powerful words, loved it! Great lessons to learn for many people! :)

I don't know you much, but i love you already! Thank you for this great talk!

Fantastic speach Robin!

A great talk, thank you!

Glad I found this!

Very good speaker, so many truths in what he said 👌

Wow I am amazed!! The friendliest country in the world, Albania.. I am glad to hear that :)

What a vibe this guy has.

As a fellow South African, I’m inspired

Let go of control. Timeless wisdom everybody knows deep down and he just told it in his way without knowing it.

Travel to Puerto Rico where I now relocated to and actually purchased a home 2 years ago up in the mountains. It is BEAUTIFUL!!! Food is delicious too.

This is great!! Thanks so much for sharing. There were some really ideas conveyed here, especially towards the end.

A lot of wisdom here!

That was remarkable..thank you for sharing. AM

Very cool video. Travel is one of the greatest experiences available to us today!

Great video Robin, inspirational on travel and benefits

people like this make me want to see the world

Amazing speech!

Stumbled on this video while watching travel vlogs and so happy and appreciative that you mentioned Albanians as the worlds friendlies people. I'm Albanian and we really are very friendly and sincere people. Way too much for our own good sometimes.

Really inspiring speech. good film photos too

Amazing talk😄👌🏼 thank you🤗

Great talk man! Really inspiring 👏💕

Very good talk, thanks!

Traveling should be for everyone. Look for opportunities to travel, meet new people and learn about a different culture. There could be a place in your country that you haven’t been to, travel there.

Paul, your point is such a good one. There are interesting things right in one's city or country. For these people if they want to start out small what I recommend is that they check into a hotel right in their city. And spend the weekend roaming it. Go on a tour. Go to the museum. Go to the zoo. Anything. Just get out there. Start practicing. Then maybe next time you'll want to go to the neighboring state. And do the same thing.

This video should have much more views than it already has ..

Super ultra awesome one!! I love you!!! Super super super super thanks!!!

Guy's amazing.

This is so insightful.

Hi, I am about to star my big journey. I come from Poland, after my final exams in highscool i decided that i want to make my vacations wild and i went to USA on my own. i've been there 3 months but mostly i was working. i saw few cool things but not as much as i expected to. But instead of it, i have money now.I went back to Poland.I already traveled like all of major cities and mountains in and around my country so far. I have my travels already planned to Italy, Germany, Ukraine and United Arab Emirates. Tons of people warned me about the last one but since i left USA i found out exactly what the speaker in video was talking about. Most of that "be careful, there is dangerous" talking is nonsense. Of course i am still a little scared still but excitment is taking advantage in this fight inside my mind. After those travels i will go back to USA and make my dream come true: Travel all the way through Route 66. What you guys think about it?

Fully Agree! Big Up

A good talk! dont panic!!

wellcome to Nepal.....you will really enjoy☺

A solo traveler, been to 38 countries around the world and Albanians are still the most friendliest and heartwarming people Ive met in my life.
