Aly, I feel there is one topic you should discuss. Health abroad. I recently went to the Wacken festival in Germany and, long story short, was kicked twice whilst down in a mosh pit and broke 4 ribs. I was taken to hospital as I started spitting up blood and kept in overnight. Luckily, I had the European Health Insurance Card. Without it, it be facing a bill of thousands. So, insure yourselves guys.

[@lisettelachat1870]

lifeguard2564 Thank you !

[@OnePercentBetter]

The value in this video is worth more than its weight in pure gold. Thank you so much! Completely relevant to me right now - Just dropped out of uni and bought my 1-way ticket to Chiang Mai :D

[@Dtheodore]

How long will you be traveling around?

[@Limpuls]

I was planning droping out too, but since it's only 1.5 year left for me, I decided to stick with it. How are you supporting yourself while traveling?

[@Seqhael]

You realise that she's only making this video to get commission from the affiliate links posted below the video, for when people like you click it thinking you're getting a good deal. You really think Agoda and Airbnb are a way to travel on a super tight budget? .....hmm. The best way to travel on a super tight budget is going to super tight countries where your money goes a long way, generally third world countries, where Hostelworld, Agoda, and so on, don't even exist

[@prepperjonpnw6482]

Seqhael not true I've used all of those sites to go to some of the most backwater 3rd world places you could imagine

[@nikolajovanovic1131]

TRAVEL LOVERS start packing your bagages. I am a nice guy and I have a small HACK GIFT for all you guys :) Check this great guide on how to Book $1,000 Flights for $20 bit.ly/2gTCg2u

[@helloimelsa239]

I booked my one way flight to Australia last month and this is super helpful because money is the thing i'm worrying about the most (mostly because it's what my mum keeps banging on about)

[@EmmyNeander]

As far as I'm aware (definitely if you do the same trip a lot) you should always use skyscanner et al in private/incognito mode on your browser because cookies can apparently make flights, trains, etc more expensive on your computer! I have definitely heard something like that so I always make sure to do that, doesnt take any longer so why not :)

[@yawnyman]

A friend of mine and I... hippies both... are planning on leaving soon with limited everything, and stuff like this is extremely useful. thank you so much! While we won't be taking much money or supplies (on purpose) we want/need all the knowledge and wisdom we can get!

[@ahhitskatie9094]

Also, great tip on the taxi! My boyfriend and I actually did haggle for a taxi in Marrakesh, but we lucked out with an amazing driver who took us around all of Marrakesh to show us the sights and get us from Jardin Majorelle, to many different beautiful locations, all the way through the maze to our Riad (cheap airbnb) for €5 total. He was so incredibly kind, but again, I don't think everyone would be as lucky as us with this.

[@mikeneth5378]

Lots of good tips! Can't agree more with 'Travel Slow'. I just got back from a month in Europe- I cut my list of sights in half because I was spending so much time switching hostels, on trains, trams etc. Spending a day or two doing the touristy stuff at first, then getting out and into your host country to see and meet real people is so much more enjoyable than hopping around like a maniac.

[@kelignz]

Oh my gosh, the ending of his video made me really emotional. Literally in class with my eyes filling with tears haha. Can't wait to travel this summer in Mexico.

[@xavatar123]

The warm personality you carry in your videos is so reassuring. Me and my girlfriend are going to Thailand for 3 weeks in November and then doing Southeast Asia next summer for 2 months with a bunch of friends. So happy I subscribed to your page, it's given me and friends such a huge boost of confidence and you seem to talk to us like you've known everyone for years. Keep doing what you're doing cause it's working and thanks again for all the work you've been doing. Peace and love.

[@Lexuslilly]

I love this video, you're very real and it's one of the nice things about your videos, like talking or hearing from a friend. I'm most impressed about the emphasis on enjoying the travelling experience, submerging yourself in the culture because that's what travel is about. Subscribed already, lol

[@shadowweaver3693]

omg the "everywhere" function in Skyscanner is hands down the best tip ever. i cant thank you enough. your tips have absolutely been invaluable to me and ive only watched 4 of them. thanks so much for sharing your experiences. i just found a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Hong Kong for $74 like omg.....amazing

[@teaarmo]

Skyscanner's everywhere feature is the best thing on earth

[@AcadiaB]

This video is great I'm currently sitting in my hostel's kitchen in London eating bread and spreads I bought from the supermarket So at least I know I'm doing some things right

[@martamagalhaes3560]

I'm 16 and I wanna start travelling so much!! not because the fact that they are less expensive but I'm so interested in the cheapest ways of travelling they sound so much more fun to me :) this summer I'll go camping for the first time to a small festival with some friends (who went to the same festival last year) I would like to go camping (how do I say this in English haha) without the festival part, you know,just camping but my friends don't seem that much interested but well we'll see :) just wanna pack some stuff and see the world, and, as Im a huge fan of nature eco travelling sounds pretty sweet too. anyway thank you for the video :D

[@specialfaiths]

Finally got around to watching this, and I am so glad I did! Thank you Ally.

[@josielynn6369]

Wow it got deleted?! That's how I found this channel and one of the things that turned my on to traveling!!! Now for my 18th birthday my parents gave me a plane ticket to wherever I want in the world. I'm so excited to learn about the world and this is the video that sparked that!!! Thank you!

[@wendyk3657]

Love your videos! That was some great advice. I've decided to slow my travels down so I can immerse myself in the culture of a place rather than just rush through it. All thanks to your videos. Thanks!

[@TabithaLaker]

I like your point about travelling slowly. I need to bear that in mind next time

[@elyssanorin4312]

i've been binging through your videos, and they're so great! even though i'm a few years too young to go travel i'm so inspired! thank you!

[@rochadealencar]

this is the best video about budget i've ever seen! in the end i thought " i wanna be her friend" Thanks a lot!!! best wishes form Brazil

[@christianbenson5986]

Great video and great advice! I'm off to university at the end of this month but have planned to travel to different countries during the four months I have off in the summer so I'm really looking forward to it. My first stop will be LA, California and I'm so excited, I cannot describe!

[@oliviabrielle4777]

My fiancé and I are planning a moped expedition across the US next year. Your video's always motivate me and keep me inspired throughout everything (including the tedious planning process haha ). Thank you so much for sharing your helpful tips and advice dude! :)

[@saraandersson7253]

Thank you so much! I'm going backpacking in latin america so I've spent the whole day watching your videos. A lot of great advices. And if I see you wandering the streets of Stockholm I'll come up and say hi to you :)

[@ashleygabriellea]

I really like your advice about not rushing! I was trying to decide anyways if I should just narrow down my trip more and next time take on different countries I couldn't include this time.

[@hollysanchez8033]

The one thing I would add is in Chile there are smaller black taxis that are called "Collectivos" are they never function with a meter, they have set prices from 1 location to another. They are a smaller and cheaper version of taxis.

[@TabithaLaker]

I do the same thing with skyscanner to cure my wonderlust!

[@rachellauritsen6987]

hey! thank you so much for your videos! I traveled to India last year by myself to teach English at a school and I was super nervous because it was my first time going anywhere. but I watched your videos and they helped me so much! so thank you! you gave me confidence to step way out of my comfort zone and it was the best experience of my life so far. And now, since then, I've traveled to Nepal to attend a friend's wedding (who I met while I was in india) had a lay over in Shanghai where I found the courage to venture out to the city (which was super awesome even though I got lost on the metro system and had to pay a taxi to find my way back to the airport - but it was so much fun! because it was an adventure!) and now I'm getting ready to head out on a mini trip to Nicaragua next month;D so excited! I really can't thank you enough. You're awesome:) wishing u safe travels -rach:)

[@ninachubb8318]

Great , thank you!

[@GabrielaBlagoeva]

That was EXACTLY what I needed. I'm planning a trip to Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand and I'm on an extremely tight budget since I'm coming from a quite poor country. So that was very helpful. Thank you:)

[@kasondaleigh]

You might be my favorite KZbinr of all! I love your generous use of the f-bomb! So real! Thanks for all the great fun!

[@ramoncastro3186]

Great video !! Thank you for all the wonderful traveling tips.

[@null_moniker]

Use skyscanner, Kiwi, etc. and use the "everywhere" destination - see which places are a cheap connection for both your origin AND destination. Some cities/airports are particularly cheaper too - Oslo, Baltimore, cologne (koln), cancun to name a few.

[@tashyb635]

This is awesome! Love your vids :) Booked my first solo trip for a few nights yesterday (not an exotic destination though lol!) to start off, and it's all thanks to your videos - I've always been too nervous to do anything but with the advice you've given I've thought "sod it!" and done it :) (trip is to the Isle of Man to explore the viking ruins and the countryside for a bit of time out but still, it's something I suppose haha!)

[@PsychoTraveller]

That's so cool! Go you! :D

[@tashyb635]

Haha thank you :D

[@darkness21princess]

Tashy B I too planned my first solo trip, is to universal studios.. I'm not from the USA so im kinda scare but I wanted a "normal" destination to start cause on sept I'm going backpacking to Spain.

[@nicoleworsley4228]

Thanks again for all of your amazing videos, I booked my one way flight to Australia 4 months ago thanks to you and now I leave in 4 days! :) so excited!

[@Droits21]

Yaaaaay!! I love seeing this. Happy to see your still loving the journey!

[@louizakloppenborg5813]

This is so helpful! I am planning my trip to Aus this summer and this makes me sooooo exited! Keep up the great work! much love from the Netherlands

[@ralphmumbeck5758]

Good tip for saving as a single traveler is to team up with others on the way...save on accommodation and taxi fares by sharing.

[@eleftheriaC]

Best travel hack/advice video of all time Ally! Thanks!

[@AngloDutchman1]

Awesome video Aly, and very good tips for budget travellers!

[@lalilulelo]

Hi Ally! Can you make a video about "how to make money while traveling"? :)

[@tylerlim4261]

I just came back from visiting Thailand, namely Bangkok and Phuket. You are so right about the transportation part, the drivers will ask for insanely high prices if you don't insist on looking for one that is metered or get ur taxi booking app to help you! Thanks for your helpful advice

[@lewisovhebn]

I'm from Newcastle UK watched your videos since January and your the reason I am planning on solo travelling next October =D. The plan is 3 months South East Asia and 1/2 Years Australia. Wouldn't of been able to do this without your videos! Thank You

[@ZoeyArielle]

Amazing advice! Thanks Ally :)

[@katie4916]

Awesome tips!!! Thanks girl. Love your top :) And good advice for buying tickets 6 weeks in advance . Really helpful!! And travel slow yes!!I once did a bus tour seeing 6 countries in under two weeks. Oh gosh that was crazy. I barely saw any of each country so next time I'll take it real slow!

[@ghoshprameet]

Booked tickets for solo trip to Srilanka. Your video really helped in planning my trip. Thank you :)

[@laurelyaros8314]

Thank you so much for posting this. it was so helpful in so many ways! I can't wait to go to HKG!

[@TheCurtainCall]

I would recommend outbacker insurance they are good and cheap. also laptops and tablets are covered under personal items!!

[@ThatOneWeirdGal]

Another tip, I tend to find the subway really cheap too. I didn't hear you mention that type of transport. I would take the subway over any other transportation just because it's usually the cheapest.

[@DNL-mf6rf]

was planning my solo trip to cambodia and vietnam, stumble on this video! thank you so much for sharing your experiences and knowledge! so excited now :-)

[@camillepowell589]

Thank you so much! Really want to travel around Europe with friends next summer and will defs use some of these tips :))

[@troyperez76]

Just watched again and learned new stuff that I either forgot or missed the first time. Thanks Aly

[@rebeccaryalls2385]

Thanks for this! I love your videos. I have just booked a solo trip round Asia and Australia for 5 months in January! Looking forward to see what you get up to in HK as I am planning on heading there too! Keep up the awesome vids! X

[@sabinahertzum9728]

Loooove your top - Shared this video on Facebook because our kids are getting to that age where I hope they will travel ( I never got to because I got pregnant at 19 - no regrets though - he's an awesome kid and I wouldn't trade him for anything) now I'm older I get to travel and I love it, but budget traveling at 42 is not as fun or appealing as it is at 22 ;)

[@annemettekatarina]

In Latvia they use Taxify instead of Uber - just a tip for Baltic travellers

[@michaelj2528]

great vlog, so much information, your hair looks fantastic

[@TheGladiola1967]

Thank you for sharing your tips and experience.

[@tiajasmin9014]

Great video! I've been enjoying your vlogs but I've missed these kinds as well!

[@missmayflower]

Thanks! The websites you gave helped me to book some flights that had been frustrating me!

[@sandiztd2184]

Excellent video. Perfect

[@MakenzieMergard]

Yes! 100% recommend a travel money card. At least with my bank (Commonwealth in Australia) it’s free to get one (as far as I remember), you can top it up via the app (and subsequently be able to check how much you have left) and there’s a very minimal withdrawal fee (like $2-ish). Also, great video! 😊

[@alexshort681]

In Christchurch, a metro card for the buses is $10, and you have to top up $10 when u buy to activate, so $20 total, all for a 75c reduction on fairs. Worth it?? Only if ur here long term.

[@Suzifully]

One of the most informative travelling video i've watched so far! Thanks :)

[@jessegreenleaf9785]

To avoid ATM and bank fees, I use a travel credit card that automatically refunds any and all fees I get when using ATMs. And using the card outside the country is free. I do pay a yearly fee of $50, but this is minimal compared to the savings.

[@melissajohnson9426]

Charles Schawb is Awesome for that!!! I love them for traveling! Not sure where you live but I live in US. Not sure if it's available anywhere else. Reimbursement for all atm fees, no foreign transaction fees, online banking/deposits ect.

[@alexsandratrevor561]

I use Charles Schwab as well- a respected financial institution and hear Capital One cards also have this no charge for ATM foreign exchange withdrawal fees now.

[@katepdm6660]

Jesse Greenleaf really? whats it called?

[@aprilhobson6870]

Loved this video!

your videos are helping me a lot planning a long trip i dreamed about for years, i cant thank you enough, and with all due respect you are so beautiful (with your attitude and ideology, not just physically) i hope someday i find people like you to travel with, obviously i enjoy traveling alone but it would be a lot better to travel with people with your personality =)

[@mayalucas9529]

Thanks so much for the video! I totally agree that the best moments are usually the ones you get for free!!

[@nextuppodcaststarringjohng2335]

For sure going to use these tips now.... thanks so much

[@RandomDancer117]

MynameisJessie I'm planning to do a Contiki tour then stay with my sister who lives near Christchurch :)

[@mohamedfardoun2915]

Awesome video thank you so much! Keep up the good work

[@Theuniverseguru]

Great video!!!

[@alimarleau]

Someone to travel with! Granted if you can find someone who you travel well with... In my case, I can tend to be a bit of a hermit when alone, with no sense of direction, so going with someone helps me to make the most of my trip, and I don't get lost :) also, sharing accommodation can make travelling more affordable, and meeting new people much easier. Also, tesco sandwiches saved my budget when in London, England.

[@jasminek4878]

[@anabettencourt6943]

A lot of great advice on this video, I have an upcoming trip and food expenses is what I am mostly concerned about thanks for the tips. Also you look cute Ally

[@ProfessorWho42]

Your travel-versary is on the same day that I'm leaving for Australia with a one-way ticket!

[@jeremywilliams2478]

AirAsia allow (from Australia anyway) 7kg carry on plus a lap top bag. Going to the tropics that should be enough for a digital nomad.Also good idea to use the ATM in front of the bank when the bank is open. If your card gets swallowed you can report it immediately.

[@alxfeathers2287]

just stopping to say: you are awesome and thank you

[@jpzinho16]

Super awesome video , super helpful . Haven't been your subscriber for too long , but definitely not missing any new videos you post haha thanks for all the great info :D
