\"Nomadic<\/p>\n

Whenever I ask readers what the number one thing holding them back from traveling is, I almost always get the same answer: money.<\/p>\n

This problem \u2014 and how to overcome it \u2014 is my most asked question. \u201cMatt, I don\u2019t know how to afford travel. Help!\u201d<\/p>\n

I have answered this question in a plethora of posts, emails, tweets, and Facebook posts. Long-term readers might even be getting sick of me discussing this subject because it is one I talk about so much.<\/p>\n

But I know no matter how often I address this question, it will come up again.<\/p>\n

Since this question comes up so often, I like to constantly remind people of this fact: You do not need to be rich to travel.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of ways to travel on a budget (and for free) \u2014 you just need to be willing to get creative.<\/p>\n

Traveling the world with little or no money sounds like an impossible dream. But it is<\/em> possible. It\u2019s not glamorous, but it\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n

It should be said that there are some expenses you shouldn\u2019t compromise on (like travel insurance) but there are tons of ways you can travel the world on a budget \u2014 including plenty of ways you can actually travel for free.<\/p>\n

In this post, I\u2019m going to show you two things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How to travel cheap<\/li>\n
  2. How to travel for free<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    With the right budget and the right mindset, you can make your travel dreams a reality. Even if you don\u2019t earn a lot or you have debt, there are still plenty of ways to go overseas (I still had debt when I went on my first trip around the world). They may not be fancy or luxurious, but if travel is your priority then you can definitely make it happen!<\/p>\n

    Ready to kick-start your budget travels and save money? Just click on either of the links below to jump directly to that section!<\/p>\n

    1. Get a Job Overseas<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Not making enough money at your job? Working at a job you hate? Why not get a job overseas? There are plenty of opportunities in the world as long as you aren\u2019t picky. After all, this isn\u2019t a career you are starting \u2014 it\u2019s just a way to earn money for travel. Here are some popular (and easy to find) jobs you can get when you travel:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Au pair<\/strong> \u2013 An au pair is a live-in caregiver who helps a host family look after their kids. In exchange, you get free room and board and a small salary. You can read this post for more info on being an au pair.<\/li>\n
    2. Bartender<\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s always 5 o\u2019clock somewhere, so if you have the skills then this is an easy job to move overseas. It\u2019s also an easy job to get under the table if you decide to go that route. If you don\u2019t have the skills to tend bar, consider being a dishwasher or busser.<\/li>\n
    3. Hostel worker<\/strong> \u2013 Hostel workers rarely stick around for long, which means there is always a demand for new help. It\u2019s a great way to meet other travelers while adjusting to a new location. Three websites that can help you find hostels to volunteer at are Worldpackers, Workaway, and HelpX.<\/li>\n
    4. Waitress\/waiter<\/strong> \u2013 There are tons of seasonal restaurants around the world (and around the US) that need extra help during the busy tourist months. If you have experience, this is an easy job to find abroad.<\/li>\n
    5. Dive instructor<\/strong> \u2013 If you have your certification, this is an easy job to travel with as dive instructors are needed everywhere. Best of all, these jobs are usually in picturesque tropical locations!<\/li>\n
    6. Tour guide<\/strong> \u2013 If you\u2019ve got a knack for history and don\u2019t mind speaking in front of groups, this is the perfect job for you. It\u2019s also usually a cash job, which means you get your tips directly.<\/li>\n
    7. Cruise ship worker<\/strong> \u2013 This is a much more formal position than the ones above, but it\u2019s a great way to travel. The hours are long, but there\u2019s something to be said about living at sea!<\/li>\n
    8. Seasonal worker at ski resorts<\/strong> \u2013 Instructors, restaurant staff, hotel staff, lifeguards \u2014 ski resorts need all sorts of staff to keep things moving, making this a goldmine for the overseas traveler (as long as you don\u2019t mind the snow!).<\/li>\n
    9. Yacht worker<\/strong> \u2013 While the hours can be long, you can make great money working for the rich and famous on their yachts. Best of all, you\u2019re usually in some pretty amazing destinations!<\/li>\n
    10. Yoga instructor<\/strong> \u2013 If you have the skills (and certification), teaching yoga abroad is an easy way to make some spending money. While you might need to know the language, there are yoga studios in pretty much every city in the world.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Working overseas often gets discounted as an option because it seems hard to do. It\u2019s not. Just be open. These jobs don\u2019t require advanced degrees or a lot of work experience either.<\/p>\n

      Are you going to get a high-paying office job? No.<\/p>\n

      Will you get a shitty, low-wage job that will pay all your travel bills? Yep!<\/p>\n

      I\u2019ve met people from all walks of life, both from Western and non-Western countries, funding their travels this way. It\u2019s an easy, fun way to lengthen your travels, deepen your experience, and make a little money so you can keep on traveling.<\/p>\n

      2. Teach English Overseas<\/span><\/h3>\n

      \"Teaching\"Teaching
      One of the best ways to make money for travel is to teach English overseas. You can make a lot of money teaching \u2014\u00a0I replenished my travel funds while teaching in Thailand, and I have had friends leave South Korea with tens of thousands of dollars in the bank.<\/p>\n

      All you need is the ability to speak English fluently and a TEFL degree, depending on the country you work in. If you have a college or university degree, you\u2019ll be able to make more money and apply for better positions though it\u2019s not necessary for many countries.<\/p>\n

      Additionally, there are many websites and services out there that allow you to teach virtually. As long as you have a great Wi-Fi connection, you can help people learn English from anywhere in the world! Italki is one of the most popular online platforms.<\/p>\n

      READ MORE ABOUT TEACHING OVERSEAS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      3. Go WWOOFing and Work on a Farm<\/span><\/h3>\n

      WWOOF stands for World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. It\u2019s a platform that allows you to work on a farm in exchange for free room and board. It\u2019s a great way to see a destination in-depth while allowing you to commune with the great outdoors. You have to pay to get to the farm, but once you are there, everything else is covered! It definitely will help you travel cheap as well as have a unique experience and meet lots of cool people.<\/p>\n

      WWOOF has opportunities available in 130 countries around the world, with over 12,000 hosts and 100,000 WWOOFers. Some of the most popular destinations for WWOOFers are Portugal, France, Italy, Costa Rica, Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii.<\/p>\n

      This post can give the complete low down on how to travel and work around the world with WWOOF.<\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/p>\n

      4. Use the Sharing Economy<\/span><\/h3>\n

      \"Nomadic\"Nomadic
      Use the sharing economy to find cheaper accommodation, quirky tour guides, rideshare options, and home-cooked meals with local chefs. You can bypass the traditional travel industry with sharing economy websites and gain access to locals using their own assets and skills to become small tourism companies with cheaper prices. Moreover, locals know where to find deals. They know which supermarket is cheapest, which stores offer the best sales, and where to find the hole-in-the-wall restaurants and bars with the tastiest food at the lowest prices. Talking directly to them gives you access to that knowledge.<\/p>\n

      Here are some of my favorite websites:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • BlaBlaCar \u2013 A ride-sharing app that connects you with drivers who have extra seats in their car (primarily for medium and long distances, and mainly in Europe).<\/li>\n
      • EatWith \u2013 Platform that connects you with local cooks serving private meals.<\/li>\n
      • RVShare \u2013 This website lets you rent RVs and camper vans directly from locals.<\/li>\n
      • Turo \u2013 A car sharing marketplace that lets you rent vehicles from locals.<\/li>\n
      • Campspace \u2013 This platform lets you camp on private property. Properties range from basic tent plots to luxurious glamping and RV stays.<\/li>\n
      • Trusted Housesitters \u2013 Connects you with locals with whom you exchange pet and house sitting services for free accommodation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \u00a0<\/p>\n

        5. Cook Your Own Meals<\/span><\/h3>\n

        The best way to save money on the road is to cook all your own meals. While in Stockholm, I spent $60 USD for a week\u2019s worth of groceries instead of an average of $15 USD per meal eating out! That\u2019s a savings of $150 USD!<\/p>\n

        I\u2019ve done the same thing in dozens of countries all around the world \u2014 especially in expensive destinations like Iceland where eating out can really destroy your budget.<\/p>\n

        If you are staying in hostels, book accommodation that has a kitchen so you have space to cook. If you\u2019re Couchsurfing or using Airbnb, your host will probably have a kitchen.<\/p>\n

        No kitchen? Pack your own container and cutlery and make some sandwiches and salads on the go. Not every meal requires a stove, right?<\/p>\n

        Just because you are traveling doesn\u2019t mean you need to eat out every meal. You won\u2019t ruin your trip to Paris if you decide not to eat out one day! There\u2019s simply no reason to be spending lots of money on food on your trip!<\/p>\n

        \u00a0<\/p>\n

        6. Get Rail Passes<\/span><\/h3>\n

        \"Traveling\"Traveling
        Rail passes (like the Eurail Pass in Europe or the JR Pass in Japan) are a great way to save money when it comes to train travel. If you\u2019re traveling around the region for a while, rail passes will likely be much cheaper than just booking individual trips.<\/p>\n

        If you are booking individual trips, booking ahead of time can usually save you about 50% of the cost of a train ticket. However, that fixes you to a set timeline. If you don\u2019t want to be tied into a fixed schedule, rail passes can save you a lot of money while giving you the flexibility you need. I\u2019ve saved hundreds of dollars in Europe doing this!<\/p>\n

        READ MORE ABOUT RAIL PASSES:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \u00a0<\/p>\n

        7. Sleep in Large Dorms<\/span><\/h3>\n

        Large hostel dorm rooms are the cheapest paid accommodation out there. The bigger the dorm, the cheaper it will be. While a 4-6 bed dorm might give you more privacy, a 12-18 bed dorm is going to be a bit cheaper. In the long run, this will add up. As long as you\u2019ve got earplugs and a sleeping mask, opt for the bigger dorm to keep your budget intact!<\/p>\n

        In a large dorm, you\u2019re almost guaranteed to have some snorers. If earplugs don\u2019t quite do the trick, download an app like Rain Rain, which plays rain sounds on a loop. You can set a timer so they stop playing after an hour or two, helping you ignore the noises of the dorm while you try to fall asleep. Spotify also has all kinds of rain and white noise playlists too.<\/p>\n

        For discounts on hostels in Europe, check out HostelPass. This card gives you up to 20% off hostels throughout Europe. They\u2019re constantly adding new hostels too. I\u2019ve always wanted something like this and am glad it finally exists! (Use code NOMADICMATT for 25% off your membership.)<\/p>\n

        8. Use Student and Other Discount Cards<\/span><\/h3>\n

        Are you a student, teacher, or under 26? Welcome to the world of 50%-off attractions and a plethora of discounts! Get a student\/teacher\/youth card and save big while you\u2019re abroad. Even if you\u2019ve recently graduated, chances are you can still get by with your expired ID card (as long as it doesn\u2019t have an expiry date). Always ask if there are discounts available for students or youth as this is an easy way to save tons of cash as you travel around!<\/p>\n

        Museums, galleries, and other major tourist attractions usually have discounts (especially in Europe). It never hurts to ask! (There are also often discounts for senior travelers and veterans as well, so always ask!)<\/p>\n

        9. Get City Tourist Cards<\/span><\/h3>\n

        If you plan on seeing a lot of sights in a city, you should get a city tourism card. These will offer you discounted and\/or free access to the major attractions and museums, as well as free public transportation. I saved over $100 USD with the London pass, $80 USD with the Paris Museum card, $50 USD with a Helsinki card, and tons more with other city tourism cards.<\/p>\n

        They are an amazing way to save money on attractions that not enough people use. Just head to the local tourism office to find out what cards are available. They can help answer all your questions and make sure you save as much money as possible. Not every city has them, but most major destinations do and you\u2019ll save a lot of money if you plan on seeing the major sights.<\/p>\n

        10. Capitalize on Your Skills<\/span><\/h3>\n

        Need some cash? Use Craigslist (operates in 70 countries), TaskRabbit (mainly in the US and Canada, though also in Italy and Spain), or Gumtree (UK-based) to find paid odd jobs, like assisting people who need a few things done around the house. It\u2019s a way to make money when you travel without committing to a long-term job.<\/p>\n

        Additionally, if you have a skill, sell it. Offer haircuts to other travelers, busk for money, provide online services like editing, graphic design, or consulting. It\u2019s never been easier to work online. As long as you have Wi-Fi you can make money. The sky is the limit here \u2014 get creative!<\/p>\n

        11. Get Free Flights!<\/span><\/h3>\n

        \"Rows\"Rows
        Collecting points and miles is the #1 way I\u2019ve been able to afford so many flights and hotels over the years. By using a travel credit card for regular spending on groceries, restaurants, and shopping, I\u2019ve been able to earn free flights and hotel stays \u2014 all by spending money I was going to spend anyway!<\/p>\n

        These days, there are tons of ways to earn free flights. Simply sign up for a few travel credit cards, collect miles, and then fly for free.<\/p>\n

        Most cards offer sign-up bonuses of 50,000 points (or more) \u2014 which is often enough for a free round-trip flight right there.\u00a0And if you sign up for both an airline card (e.g., a United credit card) and a general rewards card, you can combine the two point balances and get a cheap flight faster. There\u2019s even a card now \u2014 The Bilt Mastercard\u00ae\u2013 that lets you earn points on your rent!<\/p>\n

        Collecting points and miles isn\u2019t only for Americans either (though US residents have the best options). Canadians can collect points too, as can folks from Australia and New Zealand and the UK.<\/p>\n

        \u00a0<\/p>\n

        12. Stay for Free<\/span><\/h3>\n

        There are many services that connect travelers with locals who are willing to let them stay with them for free. Using these sites, you will never have to pay for accommodation. I\u2019ve used this service dozens of times over the years and always meet amazing people. Sometimes you get a room, sometimes a couch, sometimes an air mattress, but it\u2019s always free. These websites not only save you a TON of money but also get you off the tourist track and into the local life. Win-win! Here is a list of websites to use for free accommodation:<\/p>\n

        13. Hitchhike<\/span><\/h3>\n

        \"Matthew\"Matthew
        Hitchhiking is a free way to get around that is relatively safe and quite common in many parts of the world, including Central America, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.<\/p>\n

        I\u2019ve hitchhiked\u00a0in more than\u00a0a handful of countries (and I know solo female travelers who have done the same!). Sure, it has a bad reputation in North America, but with some common sense and a bit of patience, you can hitchhike almost anywhere \u2014 saving you tons of money in the process!<\/p>\n

        Here are a few basic tips to help you get started:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Use a sign<\/strong> \u2013 Make a clear sign that lets people know where you\u2019re heading. That will help drivers decide if they can help.<\/li>\n
        • Look presentable<\/strong> \u2013 Wear clean clothing, smile, and don\u2019t obscure your face with something like sunglasses. People want to see who they are picking up.<\/li>\n
        • Check the laws<\/strong> \u2013 Hitchhiking is illegal in some places. Always check the laws to make sure it\u2019s ok to do where you are.<\/li>\n
        • Take precautions<\/strong> \u2013 Note the license plate of anyone who picks you up and text it to a friend. Chances are you won\u2019t need it but it\u2019s better to be safe than sorry!<\/li>\n
        • Keep your valuables on you<\/strong> \u2013 Don\u2019t leave any valuables in your bag if it goes in the trunk in case it gets left in the car (or stolen).<\/li>\n
        • Consult Hitchwiki<\/strong> \u2013 Hitchwiki is the #1 hitchhiking resource there is. Always consult it before you hitchhike to pick up tips and ensure you\u2019re hitchhiking in a safe place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          \u00a0<\/p>\n

          14. Take Free Walking Tours<\/span><\/h3>\n

          Want to learn about the city, get your bearings, and see the major sights?\u00a0Take a free walking tour. You can find them in most major cities \u2014 just ask the local tourist office, your hostel staff, or Google \u201cfree walking tour (city name).\u201d<\/p>\n

          You\u2019ll get a solid introduction to the city while also getting access to a local guide you can ask questions to. I always start my visits to a new city with one. Just be sure to tip your guide at the end (that\u2019s how they get paid).<\/p>\n

          This page has a list of all my favorite walking tours around the world broken down by city.
          \u00a0<\/p>\n

          15. House Sitting & Pet Sitting<\/span><\/h3>\n

          \"Sam,\"Sam,
          If you\u2019re on a tight budget, you can pet and house sit for fellow travel lovers when they go on their own vacations! In exchange, you\u2019ll get free accommodation while you\u2019re watching their home and pets (animal care is involved 99% of the time).<\/p>\n

          You can sign up for one of the sites below to start house sitting, allowing you to stay in one destination for a while without having to pay for accommodation. Everyone\u2019s account is verified and has reviews so you know you won\u2019t get cheated.<\/p>\n

          This is a great way to travel long-term, with an important added bonus: you get a kitchen to cook your food (which saves you even more money!).<\/p>\n

          You will also often get access to a vehicle and sometimes will be left a tip or free groceries. It\u2019s generally people who are well enough off that they can afford multi-month vacations, so you\u2019re usually in pretty nice homes and apartments too!<\/p>\n

          The best website for this is Trusted Housesitters.<\/p>\n

          You can read this post to learn more about how to start house sitting.
          \u00a0<\/p>\n

          16. Use Your Social Network<\/span><\/h3>\n

          Does your colleague have a relative in Spain? Or maybe you have a distant cousin who lives in New Zealand. Or maybe a childhood friend of yours is working down in Brazil.<\/p>\n

          These days, we have a vast social network of friends and family that stretches across the globe. Don\u2019t hesitate to use that! Ask your co-workers and friends if they know anyone where you\u2019re going. Get your mom to ask her co-workers and friends, too.<\/p>\n

          Using your social network can be hugely helpful in traveling the world. You never know who knows who!<\/p>\n

          ***<\/center>By implementing a variety of these tips, you\u2019ll be able to travel for relatively little money. With a little planning and some creativity, you can travel the world for cheap.<\/p>\n

          Because if I can do it, you can do it too!<\/p>\n

          Whether it\u2019s two months, two years, or just a two-week vacation, travel doesn\u2019t need to cost a ton. The key is to get out of the mindset that you must travel in the typical manner of simply booking a flight and a hotel. Using out-of-the-box, nontraditional ways to travel can lead to big savings.<\/p>\n

          But it all starts with a change in mindset. From there, with some patience and practice, you\u2019ll be able to make your travel dreams a reality \u2014 without breaking the bank!<\/p>\n

            Book Your Flight<\/strong>
            Find a cheap flight by using Skyscanner. It\u2019s my favorite search engine because it searches websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is being left unturned. <\/p>\n

            Book Your Accommodation<\/strong>
            You can book your hostel with Hostelworld. If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Booking.com as it consistently returns the cheapest rates for guesthouses and hotels. <\/p>\n

            Don\u2019t Forget Travel Insurance<\/strong>
            Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It\u2019s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I\u2019ve had to use it many times in the past. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:<\/p>\n
