QUIT JOB TRAVEL WORLD GROW BEARD

My wife and I quit our jobs in January of 2014 and traveled through Fiji, New Zealand, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, India, Nepal, China and Hong Kong, Japan, Indonesia, and Australia for 9 months. I took a photo everyday, never cut the beard, and put this time-lapse together for you all to enjoy it's epic growth.

2:12 put this frame with everyone's shocking reaction on THUMBNAIL

[@oOcitizenOo]

Man, you're one the cases when your one-year beard looks good on you, you didn't look a homeless guy till the end. Btw, that was inspiring. I wish i could travel a lot :)

[@Pamagu]

[@5963128]

My friend that is amazing! I'd love to do that some day, however I'd like to not game back at all

[@burk2]

+5963128 Thanks! It is tempting to not come back (I assume you meant come). It's super cheap in Asia, so if definitely possible.

[@dreamdollsforever270]

Now that's a man right there! Love the beard!

[@burk2]

+Doll Dreams Are Forever Thanks!

[@gamer10.0op2]

[@46Ryanrahman]

Thank you for visiting Taj Mahal ❗🇮🇳

[@user-br9gz5qq1r]

dame that blessed beard dude, but why u shave it ? 💔 and how long time u spent to grow it ?

[@comeaun6086]

Why did you cut it though?

[@danielbrinlee9939]

Luckily your beard line naturally stops mid throat. Some of us aren’t so fortunate. Thank you for sharing

[@g.c.4020]

Real purpose here... Travel + Beard = peace

[@waedjradi]

what a Boss! 💕

[@ad238207]

How did you managed to quit your Job ?

[@charlesblack2523]

A very nice beard it was 👍🏼

[@jaxon8028]

He looked like my 8th grade history teacher in the begining

[@jeganathan7088]

Super👌👌👌👌

[@almightyalious2804]

there's nothing better than traveling and exploring the world , good beard but you should've kept it and trimmed it

[@f.pompeuroda3908]

very funny definitely much more cute without beard hahaha

[@poopohyeah463]

Your eyes are really cool

[@emmab4587]

Can I ask how you afforded to do all that without a salary? Was it just saving up a bunch or were there other cheap travel methods youd recommend?

[@burk2]

Saved for many years, but you can definitely live on a budget in many countries (couch surfing, cheap hostels, street food, bus travel, etc.).

[@jaycarter990]

I know this was uploaded 6yrs ago but did you grow it back?

[@burk2]

It comes in cycles! Right now I’m about 1/5th the way there. I may have grown it this Long one other time after the trip.

[@jaycarter990]

@@burk2 Nice, & I hope your well during this pandemic 🙌🏾

[@ioanniskostoulas3843]

Quit my job too... but ain't got no money to travel...how did you made it dude?

[@CamKnoppMusic]

That is one nice beard

[@N73B60]

How did you afford the travel, eating, sleeping and transport?

[@burk2]

+N73B60 I'll tell you what I told the dude below: Lots of planning and lots of saving. We did not work while traveling. We did sell most of our stuff before we left on the trip, but also made conscious decisions to save extra before we left (i.e. moved to a smaller/cheaper apartment, paid off car loan early to save interest, etc.). Most of the places we traveled to were quite cheap, which also helped our dollar go further. Hope you can pull off a similar trip!

[@ary2055]

[@onatdeviren3171]

Emeğine sağlık! Which means a congratulation for all your efforts, in Turkish ;)

[@burk2]

+onat deviren Thanks a lot!

[@liamations]

You turned into Fred off Scooby-Doo.

[@TomDirtzFX]

15 yrs younger after shaving lol

[@josipperic5366]

Good work dude , I wanna do the same

[@burk2]

Do it. I'm ready for round 2.

[@totdud]

How did u guys pay for the whole trip? Did u sell many things and do something different for money or what?

[@burk2]

+chase s Lots of planning and lots of saving. We did not work while traveling.

[@BaltazarBeatz]

you should kept it. 👍

[@burk2]

+BaltazarBeatz Don't worry, I'm workin on another one.

[@TrueRebelSpeaks]

how older were you when your beard really started coming in.

[@burk2]

haha, not sure about that one. 18?

[@Alicialex]

He said;😁

[@coldstar5352]

How did you afford to travel?

[@burk2]

see a couple comments below.

[@breakdancerQ]

I'd like to do that but I have no fucking money

[@oscarlund8820]

I must ask, how much did you spend? Cause I'm having the same urge to do something like this, but I need a goal to set. Minimum standards on where to sleep 😀

[@burk2]

Oscar Lund hey oscar. You can do something just like this with 5-10k saved. Obviously, you can go longer and to more expensive places if you have more saved, but I think it's important to realize you can live very simply in Southeast Asia (for example) for very little money. The bulk of the initial cost is the plane flight. Depending on where you live, you will likely spend more on bills / your routine than you would traveling...with that said, for a similar duration, I would set your goal to 20k and see what you can achieve. Good luck!

[@burk2]

set your goal at 15k$ after flights. that will let you travel for quite some time in Asia. if you can't save that much, do worry, just do the best you can and go for it.

[@JustSomeAussie1]

Why do these photos look fake? Like you're photoshopped into them?

[@lordzorg7870]

So the guy with perfect beard genetics decided to shave and didn't leave even the moustache. You got one hater, buddy

[@stephendolder6553]

I was sad he shaved it at the end

[@burk2]

+Stephen Dolder Well, don't worry, it's on its way back.

QUIT JOB TRAVEL WORLD GROW BEARD

[@jordanparker8359]

Was cool until he cut it off...

[@jaca9561]

Where’d you work the millionaire factory

[@akhdarfauadkhan2691]

Of course with money and sponsors so that comes down below 1% of us, if everyone was traveling and spending money who would remain to be sponsors and to be in fact where else money would come from if everyone was traveling? Still may this world someday become lands without borders even if not all countries but at least few neighboring countries, that would be sufficient, this kinda video actually upsets me rather than motivating, cos my reality doesn't allow me to travel without high cost and sacrifices that would rapture my family and existence, how these people can just go around and say we can do it too? Surely their reality of existence is never the same as ours,!

[@burk2]

We we’re definitely lucky to be in a position to have jobs and save money for several years for this trip, but there was no sponsorship. Also, we were a bit younger and had no children or dependents. A combination of many factors enabled this trip which I am very grateful for. I hope one day you can experience your own adventure! Good luck!
