Incredible, limiting belief shattering speech. Thank you so much. I literally cried. The conviction you communicated of being free from needing to work for money and living a meaningful life of love, adventure, and curiosity spoke straight to my soul. I can truly say you have set off a spark that will begin creating enormous momentum to drastically improve my life to soak in that beauty of that world we live in. Thank you.

Just go anywhere, obviously the nearer you are to your home country the easier it will be. But just buy a ticket somewhere and take your passport and go. There are many ways to travel, you can spend a lot of money or very little like the guy in the video. Personally I usually work in the countries I visit, but I have travelled without working also. But just choose a country that attracts you, save some money. Buy a ticket and go, it is cheaper to stay in hostels and a great way to meet other solo travellers. There are many websites you can use to find hostels in locations all over the world. A good website is www.hostelworld.com but there are other websites too. Or if you want to spend less money you could use couchsurfing.com which is mentioned in the video. I've never used it but I think I will in the future, I've heard it's a great experience. Good luck with your future travels.

TL;DW - Hitchhike - Do charity work - Help locals - Get a job abroad He also says that spending no money gets you to know local cultures better and have a better experience living the local lifestyle. still pretty sure you need to spend money if you do these things for food

I like to come back to this video every few years. I have backpacked more than 1000 days in my life. I am getting close to 100 countries, hope to get there in the coming weeks. I travel to save as much as I can. Hundreds of hostels over the years. Couchsurfing when opportunities came up. Taking local transportation everywhere. Hitchhiking when transportation is too expensive. Will eventually travel to every country in the world.

He is a 2.0 monk.

"We need to have trust, rely, and have faith in humanity..." That really hit home because that's not always so easy but also the reason I'm planning to travel

Thank you, very refreshing ,clean and simple presentation, loved it.

If there is problem, you can fire the paper and throw it at back of car. Driver of car loves always car more than to hurt you soyou have time to run out of car cause he will stop and take care about car. You will have time to call police. Stop another car for help. Run far away to forest. Whatever is possible to do in that time :)

Great adventure..good luck!!

+Trey Hurley No, you need a transit visa which allows 2 or 3 days before you need to move on to somewhere else. Unless the country you're visiting has a visa agreement with your country of origin, then you ALWAYS need a visa.

To some, it's easier said than done. Most of the times, you don't have to worry about getting visas or the limited amount of time you're allowed in a certain country.

That's almost not responsible and expect as long as u want to travel .other people need to help u. But that person who is helping u. Works for the car and for the gasoline.

" i didnt spend any money" just hitch hiked mooching off other peoples money xD

He fails to mention things like he was do work for food at a place that was trying to make a profit also he rode in cars that people had to pay for with money they earned by working at a job. And there had to be people who went to work and made cars for a company that has to make a profit or cease to exist and then you have many unemployed people. The whole doing something for free only works if other people are going to work for money to buy the stuff that he is using for free. He mentioned doing dishes. Well unless he was washing them in a stream then somebody is working at the municipal water place making sure that clean water makes it to the sink he's using and on and on it goes. I am not a fan of capitalism at all but people have needs and those needs require money. I'm sure if he ever needs surgery he will be glad for all of the expensive medical stuff that will keep him alive. Unless of course he has to hitchhike his way to hospital and dies while waiting for a ride. And no I don't wish him harm he seemed like a very nice person

That's not the point. The point is to overcome the belief that without money we cannot live. He did a social experiment to prove that money are not necessary. It doesn't prove anything but it gives hope to the possibility that -through a shift in values- together we could actually run a society based on exchanges and sharing instead of money.

Actually I really don't care, I watched this like 3 weeks ago
