20 WAYS TO TRAVEL FOR FREE! ...REALLY!

[@eranbenavraham]

I am 42 years old, I have spent most of my life travelling and working around the world. To date, I have been to 122 countries and lived in 14. I have always wanted to do a travel vlog but feel like I am too late since there are so many people doing it. I am a big procrastinator too. I would recommend all of your above tips as I have done most of them. Great video.

[@marina_varnava]

@Khalid Bouchajra Hi! That person commented 7 years ago so I don’t think they’ll respond 😅 But look, you can look up your job skills and find a job in the USA that relates to them, & they can fly you out on a temporary visa I think. Go to the official website and see your options.

[@tipsycat27]

As an avid hitchhiker who has travelled across Europe and America by that means alone, I can say that it is possibly the greatest money saver as well as opener to experiences when it comes to travel. It is an ultimate freedom. But it CAN be dangerous for women in particular. I've probably been in over 200 strangers cars, and 2 of those were bad experiences. So whilst the odds of having a negative experience is REALLY low, all it takes is 1 dangerous experience to put an end to everything. Fortunately my 2 weren't THAT bad and I was able to weasel out of the car, but they could've easily taken a turn for the worse. It's safer than people think, but I wouldn't advise it either, just share my experience. Some tips if you are adamant on trying hitchhiking: Dress boyish, if you're a girl. Even go as far as to fool oncoming cars into thinking you're male. It'll be harder to get rides but at least you know that none of those cars are pulling over with bad (sexual) intention. Always be talkative and confident in a car. Confidence is key. Don't victimise yourself. Give oncoming cars loads of space to both see you and to stop. It can make the biggest difference. Never hitchhike at night or in late evening. Always keep your bag at arms distance incase you have to make a break for it. Always carry valuables on your person rather than your bag. Also, a knife. If someone pulls up to you and you don't like the look of them, don't feel like you should get in. Ask them for directions instead. They'll be pissed that you made them stop but at least you won't be in a confined space with them.

[@sOofiiexD]

+Tipsylou wow!! hi i rlly want to travel using this tips but my family is so worried about all this bad things that happen to girls, please give me more advice i'd really appreciate it :)

[@tipsycat27]

Sof Corts How old are you, firstly? Respect your family's concerns. If it's your first time travelling, I suggest finding a friend to go with you.

[@sOofiiexD]

Tipsylou 18! yeah i guess i'll do it first with friends thank you!

[@theseproblemsmatter1]

+Sof Corts yeah even though i don't even know you I'd rather you didn't do it this way, same with any girl here esp considering traveling or hitchhiking alone. Doing it with someone they've talked to online for ex like me after getting to know them enough is A LOT better and safer in comparison.

[@Foralluhaterz]

as a young man I feel very safe travelling alone but for women its different, did u exchange sexual favours for a ride or a some reward? not safe for women at all

[@soyan.o2844]

Another tip would be Error Fares. Sometimes airlines send out false fares because somebody made a mistake and you can get international flights for next to nothing. These fares are taken out very quickly but if you are quick and a bit lucky you can get the cheapest flights possible. There are a lot of communities that look up error fares and post them. Just be flexible and quick. The best thing? You still get all the miles and perks as if you bought a full priced ticket

[@edyraper]

For travelling : 1. Live in a country with high minimum wage 2. Live in a country with a decent passport 3. Save some money and you are good to go. Other wise you will face visa situation and you will need prepare tons of documents to get visa for every single country you wish to visit, and your savings won't be enough if you are middle class or poor, it will be impossible to travel frequently. Maybe once a year if you are hard working.

[@annaluisa7103]

hitchhiking is the best way to get around, you are very flexible because you can always look for a lift spontaneously and don't have to plan it, then you don't pay any money AND meet awesome locals before my England trip this year I'd never thought it would work so well!!! I can just recommend it!

[@9999garv]

Anna Luisa extremely unsafe isn't it?

[@annaluisa7103]

I wouldn't do it alone. I don't think its unsafe at all because most people are kind. I was with my boyfriend. Hitchhiking with another girl or alone isn't something to recommend.

[@9999garv]

Anna Luisa yes that makes sense

[@annaluisa7103]

you should try it out, I've met so many people!

[@MindfulLifex]

Anna Luisa ya if you wanna be raped or murdered. Doesn't matter where you are, predators look for hitchhikers. Easiest target ever. Nobody knows who they're with, where they're exactly going, typically don't know their way around so don't know they're not going the right way, etc. srsly dumbest idea ever. Killers targeted hitchikers in the 60s and 70s when it was big and it's just gotten worse. Check out the highway of tears. Truckers are esp a known demo. Many who are predators go into trucking for such easy access to vics and it bein so hard to catch them.

[@mylakosh3126]

Hey! I love that you had the courage to run away from your abusive parents. I just wanted to let you know that, since you're on your own way, you can literally do so many things instead of sleeping behind bins or something. I would like to suggest you some things you can do to earn money. 1. Part-time work in some cafe or something. 2. Part-time work in some grocery stores. You can rent a small room and live your life. While working, improve your vocabulary. At certain age, you can even teach the language your good at. All the best ❤️

[@stefan2043]

@@mylakosh3126 thank you so much for the support, I've tried to apply 4 times at certain places like a cafe or any culinary stores yet they still reject me, I'm grateful enough to be able to survive till this moment, living here feels like hell but nonetheless, life is cruel so um yeah^^

[@FeliciaFollum]

I did AmeriCorps for internships for two years (I had a monthly living stipend) and received education awards on top of that. I was able to use them toward a class in India (which you can see old videos from) and then I volunteered for another organization and was able to get a sponsorship since I had volunteered for several years with them. Also, I added a residency and teaching onto that so I was able to stay longer in Brazil.

[@hayeopreis]

During my motorcycle travel I met a lot of cyclist who cycle all around the world; from South-East Asia to Europe, around Africa, etc. It takes them multiple years. They mostly wild camp and sleep in their tent. They often live for around 10US dollar a day, some even for around 5 dollars. Normal daily cost is only for food. Sometimes they sleep in hostels when in cities. Depending on the country they have to pay for visa, sometimes a bit for bike repair, a travel insurance, and that’s about it. If you work hard for one year in a high wage country like Switzerland or Norway and live low budget while there, you can save up about 10k to 20k euro in a year. With this money you can cycle around the world for about 3 to 6 years. I hope this information is useful to someone.

[@mugumyapaultheafricannomad9488]

I'm currently traveling around Africa on a budget of $6 a day maximum on a bicycle. That $6 covers everything including visas. I simply keep my food budget at under $4 a day ($120 monthly). My bike is dirt cheap MTB and I spend less than $10 a month to maintain it. In cities I try to get couchsurfing host. And I sleep in my tent elsewhere all the time. If I get occasional lodge I always find something for under $4 a night and I could do that twice a month. Roughly I can easily live on $150 a month and the remaining cash is for visas.. but I try to get visas that last 3-6 months so that I can live longer thete without leaving the country that would stress me to pay for another Visa. I love your comment because it talks about me😊

[@MasterOfSparks]

You forgot stealth camping. That is living in vans or other motor vehicles and keeping a low profile.

[@magiv4205]

That sounds very illegal but very interesting...

[@vnixz]

If your from 3rd world countries or basically not from usa its hard to even get out of the country. coz you have to get visa for every damn place and there is very low chance that you'l get visa

[@pfirsichriegel7578]

So sad to be born in a country where you need visa to go anywhere.

Why so discrimination. After all, this is also our world. 😢😢😢😔😔😔. In my next life i want to be born as American.

What I loved was free walking tours, which are not technically free, but they usually understand that you are broke student etc so that you give them like 5-10 bucks and it´s ok (cos they get plenty asian tourists giving them a lot of money every tour anyway). They were in many European countries and I did them even in Australia (although, I think they only got these in Sydney and Melbourne). Great thing to start exploring the new place. :)

Sometimes I sneak out and walk 2 miles to just hang out at the dried up creek. I try to bring my friends along but they say their scared to get Kidnapped and that it's to cold or hot so they rather go inside and call me weird for always trying to be outside but when I'm inside there's a burning feeling that just tells me to run outside and take in the scenery and don't get me started when I feel the wind in my face it feels so peaceful idk what to do I just wanna run away jump on a plane and go to china or Vietnam and help people idk and I can't relate to anyone I feel lost why am I even writing this any advice idk what to do I'm just L O S T

I know having freedom and having your own place to decorate however you want it sounds very great, and trust me, I'm excited for it too. But please remember that it's so important to live in the moment. You're only young once and you really don't wanna waste that time thinking about the future. Instead of doing that, think about how you can make your current situation better. Make sure the life you're living right now makes you forget about those thoughts about the future.

[@ameliecc-wj7zm]

If you live in the EU (or one of their partner countries like switzerland, turkey, iceland....) you can do the EVS, short for European Voluntary Service. You get to be a volunteer, you get a place to live (host family, flat with other volunteers, depends on the organization you volunteer for), you get food and even most of your travelling costs like the flight are PAID by the EU. PLUS you get a small loan, depending on the country you work in (around 100€ per month). It's long-term tho. So you should plan on staying abroad for at least 3 months, most organizations want you to stay for 8 months. And the kind of work is really, really different. Could be anything from working at a daycare, helping in an office or working with animals at a farm. Just google EVS and start your adventure. You need to plan ahead tho. If I wanted to go this summer I should've started to contact organisations in november.

I'm stoked to admit that I've done most of these. I have gotten a ridiculous number of kms out of hitchhiking, but I admit it's not for everyone. Islands such as Haida Gwaii and Newfoundland, as well as New Zealand are very safe places to hitch though. Delivering vehicles is called 'drive-away delivery' - a great way to get around. There's also train hopping, a fascinating way to see the world that I have not yet tried.

Honestly, I don't think anyone should do hitchhiking, especially not if you are a woman. It's crazy dangerous.. Even if you think you found a nice couple that seem harmless...

[@hideyable]

Agreed. Tourists are rarely killed in this country but the few occasions I can think of are people hitchhiking. Buses are inexpensive - why risk your life for the sake of $20?

[@Joepvn]

Because hitchhiking makes going from A to B much more than sitting around. It allows you to meet amazing people. It can take you places a bus can't, and it's often much more flexible, as people are willing to take you much further than you bargained for. Also, 20$ as you put it is easily a week worth of food. When travelling low cost, you can't just spend 20$ to get somewhere, much less so if you are not enjoying the ride.

[@Paralianpoet]

but can cost you your life too

[@deslyoness1174]

my mum hitch hiked through Europe when she was in her twenties all alone and she was fine. Especially as a woman statistically speaking the most dangerous place is your home... so I'm just gonna leave that here

[@Paralianpoet]

des Lyoness let me see, so if you say your home which mean it's my home and yours too, imply that every women's home indicate that anywhere where is "your home" is dangerous that should basically state the danger is everywhere. So that means, don't ever hitchhike even if your mum does it safely, people nowadays become a lot smarter and can make you go poof! with no traces of you at all and no one will ever know where you are.

[@seraphiccandy21]

to have frequent flyer points you have to be a) a frequent flyer and b) usually travel with the same airline. If you usually travel with whoever offers the cheapest airfare to wherever that not going to be you...

[@jcordero93]

Another idea to save some money is sleeping at the airport the day before your flight. Many airports have this special areas to rest where you can get a kind of pillow or something and you can charge your phone etc. for free or sometimes for a few dollars. I did that a couple of times to save one night of accommodation!!

[@mariia1034]

AirPorts are the most safest and nice places: sleep, eat, toilets, security and roof over the head + no homeless people as it’s far away from the city mostly and clean! ❤

Guys i'm here for giving some support for each other KZbinrs from all around the world! Respect

[@bokeflo]

Lots of great tips for traveling for free. Nicely Done.

[@AnnieCala]

Love the video!!! Not having enough money to travel is one of the things stoping me from doing it. Thanks for all the tips. I would love to see a travel blogging video!!! Hope you enjoy your time home and thank you for been an inspiration.

[@polistrider6788]

Great video, very useful!!! :) Please do 'How to become a travel blogger' video and how does that make you money?

[@carpetmonk]

I couch-surfed right into a bathtub filled with ice.. got a kickass new scar though..

I worked in a cruise ship for a year and saw nothing. Choose carefully what job you apply for on a ship. I was in housekeeping so I cleaning in the morning and turned down in the afternoon, so didn't get to spend much time onshore. Our pay was awful, too.

[@TravelWithRD]

wow great video! love couchsurfing...💐

[@JaymeSplendid]

If you're in America and Canada you can also hop trains. (Freight train hopping)

[@eagles97796]

this still doesn't say about flights though?

[@TheSummerDolls]

She has a separate video on it I believe

[@eagles97796]

TheSummerDolls thanks :D

[@boss.l.l573]

yessssssss

[@svstrayfish6630]

hey crewing on sailboats deserves a mention there are dedicated sites that you can register on and when you pick up some skills they are mostly transferable with lots of other sail boats..you get to see the world not just the inside of a cruise ship.

[@mari.johnson]

I agree with all of these! Great video!

[@PsychoTraveller]

Miss Mari Thanks! =]

[@craighale3035]

[@zuzii8960]

With frequent flyer points, you just become a member for a company and get points when you travel - more points for big trips. Also, you can get frequent flyers (at least in Australia) by paying with a special credit/debit card. Company's partner with banks and if you get that card and anytime you pay with that card you get points.

[@varjan86]

Woofing and Home stays could bring you legal trouble in many countries. Because, in most countries it's forbidden to work without a work permit. This often also applies for work without direct payment.

[@Izzyjean]

You dont work for money when you Woof

[@cheapflightsbookingtickets9025]

Great tips man. greatest tip of them all though is being flexible. Flexibility on the dates and where you want to go is huge.

[@alessandrog2834]

May I suggest the ICOM card to those who love visiting museums. You pay for a year membership and visit many museums around the world for free.

[@kiranwingelaar7009]

good idea. Where do you get this card?

[@alessandrog2834]

I applied for it though the ICOM representative at my uni. I thick you can email them to check who is the representative in your country.

[@modi-oh1301]

but is airfares accommodated

[@alessandrog2834]

I am not sure what you mean.

[@modi-oh1301]

+Alexander Gauci like of the musuem is in europe, who pays for the flight ticket

[@natashagardner7101]

This is why Journalism is my dream job! I get to travel around the world while doing what I love, writing. And all the travel is paid for by your work 😆

[@lucindachave8416]

I'm sorry for the negative comments on here. I think you're incredibly brave, knowledgeable, humble and motivational. These tips are awesome, practical, and ones that I've used before when I want to extend my travel with little funds. Anyone who thinks you've got this far because of your looks are simply ignorant, fear driven, envious individuals. You manifest/receive things because you're a go-getter and you take chances. You follow your passion for travel and the universe rewards you for it. End of story. Well done Aly.

[@Lozzzaaa55]

With the volunteering bit, yes make sure you research the organisation really well! See where their money is going, why is it an orphanage? Are the kids being integrated back into the community instead of solely relying on the organisation. Volunteer as long as you can, empower the community to develop themselves. There are alternatives to volunteering, not just stay there fore 3 weeks and leave. You have helped no one in the process apart from yourself. e.g kids become attached to you, there is no stability for them. I could go on and on. Any questions just ask me, I just finished a study tour in Cambodia for university and learnt a lot about volunteerism.

[@fumakllc898]

@pshyco traveler if u use Qatar u get points everytime u travel and u can use them to pay for it ticket .

Thumbs up for putting the steps in the description. Watched your video still as thank you

[@elsbethsteele9285]

I'd like a video about becoming a travel blogger. This is the first video of yours I've seen. :) I have a good tips for traveling for free in the US. Going to music festivals or rainbow gatherings. You can always find rides to wherever you want. Also I've never done this because I've always had at least enough money for gas but I know people who do a thing called gas jugging. They bring a gas jug with them everywhere and park at a gas station, and then ask people getting gas if they mind giving a little gas. Even just a couple bucks. Now I grew up with Scottish parents, so I could never ever swallow enough pride to straight do that. But ya know what ever floats your boat. If your brave enough to do that, good for you. I've had friends not spend a dime and get from New York to California hitting up tons of music festivals sneaking in and just getting free gas. They also dumpster dive (that I absolutely have done because it's absurd the amount of perfectly good food that's thrown out in america) and busk.

[@davideroccia4432]

i often build a small mug or wood house in the forest. but i can only recomend it when you know what you doing. its illegal in the most countrys and its dangerous. it can have dangerous animals, like bears, wild cats and wild boars in the forest, and sometimes it has people who will rob you. but when you know what you doing, its cheap and funy time. last sommer i spend 400€ for 2 month holyday on the most expensive zone at the mediterranean sea and i had everything: good food, gym, party, museum, beach and casino. it was a funny time, had a lot of fun, learnd a new language and met a lot of new people. but in some countrys i had also problem with this. with the police or the owner of the land lot. but it's a good method to make cheap hollyday. but outside europe i wouldn't do this.

[@kaitlinbarth2653]

frequent flyer points have got to bee my favorite way to save money and travel! I'm currently booking my working holiday to Oz and because of my points (Delta SkyMiles) my flight down under will only cost me $30 US!! The best way that I've found to get the most out of them is to get in contact with your go-to outbound airline and just get a membership card. personally I hate the idea of paying for a credit card to rack up points because I like getting them for free but it does take time so if you spend significant amounts of money on a regular basis it might be worth signing up for a credit card with the airline as well.

[@ali101love]

One question: airfare? Do you have any tips for reducing that cost?

[@randomuser1105]

That's my main problem.

[@meghanpatrick1669]

+Alissa Ackerman Airfare is really expensive but in the end Europe, Africa and Asia are all connected so you could hitch hike, get buses and trains, borrow caravans or wait until flights come on sale!

[@dabtican4953]

swim or run
