    Great tips, Lexie! I started traveling as a teenager by saving all my money and not spending on things that my friends were buying like clothes, going out, etc. I've since been to 62 countries. 😎 My top money-saving travel tip is to slow travel and live like a local in each place you go instead of spending like you're on holiday. Congrats again on traveling to every country in the world!

    I've been a digital nomad for 2 years now. I'd also add: carrying meal containers and doing meal prep is huge: ~$50 per week for all meals. The other is avoid touristy experiences and live like a local enjoying small cheap frequent more local pleasures such as unique appetizers, drinks, classes, etc. Happy travels!

    Great video. $2.75 per night at a hostel in Siem Reap, Cambodia, back in December. There were even cheeper ones than that. I guess it was off season, plus we had never seen so many hostels in one city.
    We were in a 12 person dorm room with A/C, two bathrooms in the room, and the hostel had a nice swimming pool. Great staff, too. :-)

    I had plans for New Years fail quite close to New Years and joking mentioned to my mate in Poland "What if I cant to you?"

    Thanks for this, Lexie. In terms of accommodation, I think, it's not just about price. You should also consider safety and quality. There are cheap accommodations that don't exercise security measures because they can't afford hiring security personnel simply because they charge a few bucks. Take care, Lexie!

    There are also services that will email alerts when flights out of your selected airport to various destinations around the world have dropped to very low prices. Sometimes these are mistake fares, and they have to be booked right away, so it requires some quick decision making, and the ability to then get the time off work. I just lucked into a great deal to Italy. 4 days after I booked the exact same flight was twice as much! (though I used points for a FREE flight!). For lodging, though, I personally have no desire to stay in a hostel! I have a hard enough time sleeping with others in the room, let alone complete strangers! I'm an introvert and I like my privacy, so to me it's worth paying more for a hotel room, even if that means a bit less travel. Sleeping in your car is another option (they make backseat air mattresses), and I did this for an entire week in Oregon last summer!

    Thank you for the video! I really like the fact that there are great ways to travel the world without having to spend a lot of money. For example, street food is an amazing way to eat local, delicious food while spending little! I remember visiting Vienna a couple years back, and the street food was my favorite there! For working while traveling, I know a friend of mine used Workaway to live temporarily in a place by working and getting to travel around.

I think myself and many of your followers on social media would love if you do a video on the 'Travel Considerations' for traveling in a 'Pandemic Era' (what precautions you would have to consider and what to avoid). This would be of benefit as the economy starts to open up.
