      @@thatguyonabicycleofconsurv3908 It all depends on how a person wants to do it yes? In the 1970th many people traveled even during the Vietnam war which is dangerous, today too can be dangerous in some parts of the World. Back then people chatted among themselves about the experiences they had today we are broadcasting it all over the social media. The biggest motivator is also making money by filming others about their travels and experiences. RUclips brought incentives to motivate people to share their experiences. I enjoy it and goes both ways.

    Finally! Someone who actually shares all the info about their money. Too often people skip the fact they already "had money" before they began their travel lifestyle, leading you to believe they magically did it all with nothing. They always say they sold everything but leave out the part where they have a trust fund or a big company to sell off.

    Nora Dunn's perspectives about travel have encouraged and inspired me to pursue this kind of lifestyle. I feel like I don't belong to an organization or a company and just remain as an employee for the rest of my life. I consider myself a free soul who wants to experience the world. I'm building the foundations of my plan to pursue an online career and save up before I start traveling. My first destination would be Southeast Asia since this is the region where my country, the Philippines, belongs, and explore other countries either at the end of this year or the first quarter of next year. And, who knows, I might find opportunities in Latin America or other parts of Asia or Europe. Thank you so much, Exploring Alternatives, for your insightful videos! Why have I just met you now? :)

However I would like to add something, being an Indian we have to give interview to get visa(which is a toiling process and very difficult to get especially if you are young, not financially strong or single) to whole Europe, most of Americas, New Zealand, Australia and many other beautiful countries. This turns out to be the first biggest hurdle in any kind of travelling that we would want to do. And secondly, Indian Rupee is depreciating everyday so how much ever hard we work to have enough to start travelling will not be enough.

    Thanks for all your videos! This one was inspiring as always! I've been traveling for three years now, off and on. Which I never thought was possible! Watching this video of a seasoned 12 year traveller has inspired me to make my youtube travel vlog goals bigger for 2019. I think I'm going to look into building a tiny house next year, so I'll have a small home base in the states to travel from. Cheers! and Happy New Year

    I'm 55 now, been a Merchant Navy seaman, currently in Italy after some time in Greece. I make a living as digital nomad, nothing fancy, just data entry. All I need is my laptop, my scooter and a tent. To be honest I have no intention of leaving good old fortress Europe. The €uro and the no-borders policy make things a lot easier.
    I loved the video and stories and the travelling tips.

    Beautiful experience. Thank you for sharing and for the continued inspiration, Nora. My partner and I are into our second year of travel. Our experience so far fully agrees with Nora's! I wish for the same experience of freedom for everyone - may be just what we need to fully understand our shared humanity.

    it takes a real courage to decide to travel alone, leave everything behind you, family, work, maybe your boyfriend /girlfriend and decide for once and for all to do this without any fright. i'm a traveller my self, i've been around the world but into another phase of mode. I organised tours within friends , do all the researching, flights, accomodations, , pick up service , tours and local guide in the country were visiting , even resto or places to whined up later. This made me travel for free too. The thought of leaving everything behind... that's what i still need to decide soon as responsibilities back home i s prime too.Who knows? even if i'm in my early 60's still i can do it .

    This New year marks four years of traveling for me....so I can relate...however the 30$ a day really depends on where you are...sounds like she didn't spend much time in Southeast Asia where you can find accommodations for as little as $2 for a run of the mill backpacker hostel to 5$-8$ for a nice boutique capsule hostel or low-end guest house or hotel and food as little as a 1$-$5...really depends on what you want your travels to look like...in my experience long term traveling actually usually turns out to be cheaper then short term holidays because long term travelers aren't really into doing all the touristy things so that cuts down the exspenes a lot and you get to know the area so you know where the locals go....like I always say if you want to know how to travel on a budget do it like the locals...if you see a local restaurant that's full of other locals..its a really good chance that its not only good but cheap...
    I agree on having a game plan on how your going to make money before you actually start ur travels...if you want to do freelance, try to get clients before you take off...however it really depends on the individual...so many ppl tell themselves I want to travel but first I have to get all these other things in order and then 2-3 years go by and they haven't done anything....especially in the freelance world which is highly competitive and can take time before you have enough clients to be able to survive off of the income and starting your own business could take up to a year or more to really establish, so yeah...do you want to travel now or in a few years..depends on the person....
    I know myself very well and I know if I start lining up a bunch of reasons why I should wait to do something...there's a chance it will never get done...I jumped the plane to Thailand..one way ticket..4 years ago with 700$ and no idea what I was going to do for work but when your determined...there's always a way...so I just figured it out...its not the wises thing , I know but it worked for me and it worked for a lot of other ppl...its going to be hard either way...its just when you want it before or after.....anyways that's my two cents...Thanks for the vid.

      Yes she mentioned Australia and New Zealand, i believed those places are same as US and Canada depending the area. She haven't tried Asia such as Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore and soon, it should be cheaper when she live like the locals. I love the idea of travel slow, meaning don't just past bye, stay for months so you will learn other foreign cultures.
