How to travel the world without spending more than staying at home, by a travel guru
Are you tired of the conventional wisdom that says that you have to spend a lot of money to travel the world? Do you want to learn how two well-traveled vagabonds have managed to do it for decades, as well as the travel-cheap insights they have accumulated over many years of gallivanting the globe?
There are many travel resources and guidebooks out there that tell you how to travel on the cheap, how to save money, how to get the best airfares. We have read and used many of them, and there are lots of good ones around. How To Travel For Free (or pretty damn near it!) is different in that in this course, global nomad Shelley Seale shares her own personal resources and experiences to show ways in which you can travel not just cheaply, but for free – or pretty close to it.
Whether you are planning a weekend getaway or a round-the-world journey, Shelley lets you in on her methods and secrets for how to:
Stay in a fully-furnished house or apartment in locations around the world, for days or weeks (even months!) at a time, absolutely free.
Utilize airlines’ frequent flyer programs to the maximum advantage, to earn free tickets very quickly, for domestic and international travel.
Uncover more unconventional and local means of travel in different countries, that will allow you to travel far more cheaply than conventional methods.
Find the best, most reputable, and often difficult-to-locate opportunities for working and volunteering your way around the world.
Learn to access the many hospitality and travel exchange programs that allow you to not only visit international locations cheaply or for free, but to interact and make friends with people in a true cultural exchange.
Get creative about the endless ways you can travel for free, from bartering, reviewing products or caretaking to combining job training or educational opportunities with personal travel.
By far the overwhelming consensus out there is that to travel extensively you have to be rich. Believe me, I am far from it! In How To Travel For Free (or pretty damn near it!) I will discuss various ways to help you think outside the box when it comes to how to approach travel for yourself. I will go into detail on each specific concept and method, and show you, step by step, exactly how we do it.
Some of the general concepts covered are:
Why it is absolutely not necessary to have lots of money to travel well.
How you can actually save money by traveling for longer periods of time.
Methods for integrating your current life and work into ways to travel more.
The wide range of transportation and accommodation choices, some of which you may not have even thought of.
Creative ways to travel that can seriously help you stretch your budget.
This course came directly from my own personal experiences traveling frequently, all over the world, for the same amount of money – or less — than I would have spent by staying home. In this course I will show you exactly how we do it, along with additional resources we have picked up from fellow travelers, friends, travel writers, and the hundreds of travel books, magazines and websites we’ve read or written for.
I will also, of course, answer questions and help you brainstorm and plan your own travel experiences — all within the same budget you already have just staying home.
