3 Hacks to travel CHEAP that WORK! (and are AWESOME)

[@lostleblanc]

Never imagined that these videos would be the start of a multi million dollar business. ANYBODY can do it and I want to show you how in my Free 1 Hour Training: lostcreatoracademy.com/freetraining

[@lokic6475]

workaway.com is a good site too

[@adventuroustravelearth5493]

LOL love that one "Even with a half empty wallet"

[@SamuelRush]

I hope you managed to avoid the storms

[@kungmarkatta2000]

The sport kick volleyball, it's called sepak takraw. You can find that in South East Asia. For example in Thailnd, Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Laos and Malaysia. Even in China and India and I guess more countries to, but I think Thailand is one of the biggest in this sport!

[@yugiohfan2022]

Haha

[@musicismylifes2]

I met you the other day at whitespot yvr airport (jan 3) I was your hostest. I wanted to take a picture with you but I didn't want to disturb you guys, thanks for being so humble and kind in person! It was nice to meet you :) ♥️

[@lostleblanc]

Aww hopefully you catch us on the way back on Sunday. Might see you then :) was nice meeting you!

[@musicismylifes2]

Aww hopefully ! I'll be working at my second job( international virgin mobile side!) stop by and say hi! ;) @@lostleblanc

[@omomohoho]

That's soooo coool!!

[@peepeepoopoo7141]

You should post a map of all the countries you have been to. Like if you agree

[@lostleblanc]

I wanna get a good map to keep track !

[@gabehigginbotham4517]

I’ve been binging all of your videos for three days and I just want to say that you’ve improved your videos so much. Also they make me feel so happy with all the tropical, beautiful scenery.

[@lostleblanc]

Thanks Gabe. Striving for a small improvement with every video

I just ordered Thai food after watching this.

[@lostleblanc]

Always a good call

[@narakornboonmee79]

I love Thailand 😘😘😘

[@omomohoho]

Best food, ain't it? :D

[@libertyleave]

Okay, I've been watching your videos for about 5 months now to test the waters on likability, and I can officially say you're one of my Top 5 Travel KZbinrs! Your content is thorough and well produced, and I also love how you sneak humour in (lmao @ confirming JT didn't spend time in US jail). I myself am looking to start my Digital Nomad journey in October of this year and I'm pretty risk-adverse, so a ton of research is mandatory. Your videos have helped A LOT! I have one question for you - if you could choose only ONE camera, ONE mic, and ONE tripod/stable stick thing that holds your camera up while you vlog, what would it be? I don't want to spend too much, but definitely want to document my experiences. Thanks in advance and keep the vids coming :)

[@lostleblanc]

Hey Danica!! Thank you :) really appreciate that. So it’s hard to say without knowing your needs but an amazing affordable story telling set up would be a Canon 70D with a video mic mini and a cheap wide lens (one that doesn’t make loud noises when using AF). Hope that helps :)

[@SideTripLife]

Fvloggin it! Another great video, thanks! Take Thai trains every chance I get - lower bunk with window better next time but have to book early

[@adventure_digger]

You wanna travel longterm in south east asia? Get a working holiday visa in australia and hustle on the road!

[@hannahgridley8450]

Just, wow!!!!!!! Your videos after your change in format are f$&@ing fire 🔥 not that they weren’t before but I’m really enjoying the diversity, laughs, storytelling, and how they flow. This one in particular was quite inspiring! Thanks for your work ☺️

[@sofidelac2919]

I just returned from Thailand, I follow your guide and was the Best trip of my life. Thank you so much for so gooood content

[@lostleblanc]

So glad to hear that. One of my favourite parts of this job. If you go to Peru / Philippines or Bali next, my guides have got you covered there too 😛

[@omomohoho]

How did you like the country??? :D

[@khushpal9932]

We can travel together..my Instagram @kps_2345

[@AlbiDoo]

I've worked in 4 different hostels in various countries in Europe and New Zealand. But I got paid because I was doing reception work. It helps to get a Working Holiday Visa before leaving but it's not always necessary. Depending on the country these are usually for 18 to 35 year olds only. Otherwise there's also cleaning jobs in exchange for free accommodation.

[@AlbiDoo]

I've never tried to find a job in Asia, I imagine it would be much more difficult.

[@lostleblanc]

Thanks for sharing that !

[@djordjerasic7482]

Huh i expect it tobe harder in europe,or almost impossible in western european countries idk why.. Still its cool that u shared that, its acool tip and works anywhere in the world

[@AlbiDoo]

@@djordjerasic7482 I spent over 3 years backpacking in Europe and 2 years in Australia/New Zealand. Most hostels have some backpackers working there. Either in exchange for free accommodation or paid positions. In Southeast Asia I didn't stay in many hostels because hotels are so cheap. So maybe you are right. But salaries in those countries are so cheap that I don't see much benefit for them to hire a foreigner illegally that will only stay short term. However I could be completely wrong.

[@djordjerasic7482]

@@AlbiDoo no no you are right. I just didnt expect hostels to hire people illegaly like that in more developed countries. I may have that point of view bcs i come from a not so developed country- serbia. Btw you should visit its amazing here

[@RachmanMarangga]

8:52 "Sepak Takraw" is very famous in soutest Asia. Like Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia etc...

[@danielrafuls3990]

It's those vlog-style moments like when your food arrived at the hotel during your commentary that separates your guides from everyone else. Love your content, brotha. Good luck in the new year.

[@kristianjelu]

Amazing video ! I travel a lot too but never thought about filming my amazing travels, unfortunately.. haha

[@KennethandJoyce]

Love your travel hacks and also going to celebrate my one year anniversary as a nurse in a Thai restaurant now

[@hamzanocap]

Pree my man starting the year with some incredible content already, fucking love this channel

[@andersw2274]

Great videos! :-P Just a quick kamera question. How do you do to have best focus when you filming yourself and around? Manuel focus on the objective? Thanks!!

[@AidanChinSungLing]

I had similar experience like JT. I drove Uber for 2 years just to meet great people and stories. I met so many cool positive people I ended up making friends with 32 countries in the world. I went to Australia and stayed with a friend this year and going to South Korea and possibly UK and gonna stay with friends I met while driving Uber too next year.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Great video - thanks for sharing - love the travel tips. We have a steri pen and love it - also saves plastic bottles. Work away and HELP x are great ways of volunteering. Never tried coach surfing but sounds like a great way of meeting local people - we're heading off to Central America end of Jan for 5 months and we are going to give it a go now - thanks - Chris & Marianne 😃🌴

[@lostleblanc]

Hope it works well for you guys ! Safe travels!

[@alexandergrace5350]

The amount of content you put out is extraordinary. It honestly doesn’t seem like you would have enough time to do all the travel necessary to make these awesome vids.

[@lostleblanc]

Cheers man

[@AdrianLoganLive]

The trick is to build up a library of your own content from previous trips so you can use it as b-roll in future videos as opposed to shooting brand new footage for every video

[@WanderlustOnTap]

Love Koh Tao. My lady and I worked at Ban's 2017-2018. That's our friend Angelo singing with his band NAP at 14:01 in the video. Pretty hard to beat the vibe at Fishbowl. Great video! Keep them coming.

I love the humor in these past few videos. I'm still laughing about the sunglasses from the other one. 😎😂😂😂

[@4thePORSCHE]

The lotus bar is one of the best places on earth. I'm happy that this bar still exists!

[@BakkerfeelingAdventures]

Another great way to save money while travelling is house & pet sitting. We have been travelling for over 2 1/2 years now, while staying in beautiful places. A great way to explore the area while working on your laptop at the houses you take care off. All utilities are paid for and even housekeepers & gardeners in most cases. No sharing rooms, working for your stay or paying for accommodations. 😊👍

[@aleskandereio]

WOW Christian! Another👌🏼video! Muy bueno! A truly inspiring way of showing us amazing places. So much that I also decided to try out this of making videos... 😬 I still have a lot to learn but thanks for being there! 👍🏼

[@lostleblanc]

Thank you!!!

[@JasmineLipska]

Such a great video as always Christian! Your videos are so incredibly informative and fun to watch, it's really helpful and I'm blown away every single time by how much effort goes into these videos! I'd love to visit Thailand this year :D

Safe travels :)

[@JoeMrozek]

I really hope I can be able to travel like this one day, you're an inspiration Christian! I've been watching you for 2 years now and your content never stops getting better! Thank you for these 3 tips. I also really enjoy the little comedic bits you add in now, it really adds to the videos and they always give me a laugh! Thanks for another great video

P’Oys is the GOAT restaurant on Koh Tao!! I would always go there during my 2 month dive master course on the island... This video made me super nostalgic, can’t wait to go back to Koh Tao this year

[@NomadShifu]

We love that never-ending summer. Very useful travel hacks indeed. We will save this video for our reference. We will resume our travel when things go back to normal.

[@martysgarden]

I lived in Thailand for four years, ran a surf school in Phuket under the table,,,I don’t recommend you do that hehe. My hack for saving bucks is buy fruit from the local markets,,it’s cheap, delicious and keeps you hydrated with electrolytes,,also dried fish as a snack is cheap and doesn’t go bad. If your in spot more than a few weeks, sprout some microgreens and eat those for cents. Cheers from Australia Marty’

[@lostleblanc]

The budget lifestyle 🙏🏼

[@ReigneOrShine]

I met my now husband through Couchsurfing. Before I met him, I used Couchsurfing to save money when traveling abroad. As a solo female traveler, I can attest that it is safe just as long as you read the referrals first. I was living in Singapore when I hosted travelers too. Either to just show them around or let them sleep in our couch for free. Some cities also have groups of Couchsurfers and you just meet every week to do different activities or just hang out. My Spanish husband traveled in Southeast Asia and we let him stay in our couch back in 2016. He became my boyfriend in 2017 and together we were traveling the world. No more solo travelers. Haha! We don't use Couchsurfing anymore because now we can split the price of hotels. Haha!

Hi Christian! I just started watching your channel a few months ago and I’ve enjoyed it very much. I’ve heard you talk about your first videos about four years ago. And decided to take a look at some of them. Well you have made such a gigantic leap from those first vlogs. You looked like a baby then. And your work has grown so much. I am just starting to learn about photography and filmography and hope to aspire to the level you have achieved some day. As a middle aged woman. Who has decided to change directions in life you are an awesome inspiration. Thanks for all you do and give to your audience. I hope one day I will be able to get lost with you. 💃🏾
