- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Many people believe that travelling is something that only a few of us can afford. I’d like to prove not only that money is unnecessary, but also that travelling without money is more fun.
Simone was born in 1987 in Rivoli near Turin. He studied classics and soon became passionate about music and arts. After graduation he enrolled at Dams, but he then later decided not to finish his studies; in 2007 he managed a company of car furniture for about a year. In 2008, he sold the company and started travelling to Ireland, England and Scotland, a trip that changed his life completely - up to the point that he now defines himself a nomadic traveller. In 2011, Simon and his friend Roberta Panero set up a three months trip from Turin to Portugal; they managed to do it without spending any money. When in Turin, Simone composes music and volunteers for the Italian Red Cross. He is co-author of the blog www.viaggiareconlentezza.com.

FANTASTIC.The world needs more people like you. I would love to do this at my age 70. Next summer, I will give it my best. RESPECT to all.
You're welcome here in Brazil, I'd help you. With house and food.
Did you go on the adventure?
Great Insight Simon Dabbicco,
Travel is not meant about new places (or destinations) but about the journey involved.
Ajay Saxena That's a fact. the journey is important most of all
Incredible, limiting belief shattering speech. Thank you so much. I literally cried. The conviction you communicated of being free from needing to work for money and living a meaningful life of love, adventure, and curiosity spoke straight to my soul. I can truly say you have set off a spark that will begin creating enormous momentum to drastically improve my life to soak in that beauty of that world we live in.
Thank you.
+Tom McNamara I feel the same way, so how's your life now?
Just go anywhere, obviously the nearer you are to your home country the easier it will be. But just buy a ticket somewhere and take your passport and go. There are many ways to travel, you can spend a lot of money or very little like the guy in the video. Personally I usually work in the countries I visit, but I have travelled without working also. But just choose a country that attracts you, save some money. Buy a ticket and go, it is cheaper to stay in hostels and a great way to meet other solo travellers. There are many websites you can use to find hostels in locations all over the world. A good website is www.hostelworld.com but there are other websites too. Or if you want to spend less money you could use couchsurfing.com which is mentioned in the video. I've never used it but I think I will in the future, I've heard it's a great experience. Good luck with your future travels.
Dear Simon, I really enjoyed listening to your inspirational speech. It gives me hope to hear you talk and realize that travelling like this is possible. Thank you! Greetings from Berlin.

Inspiracional♥
He is a 2.0 monk.
"We need to have trust, rely, and have faith in humanity..." That really hit home because that's not always so easy but also the reason I'm planning to travel

Roman Malychko yes!! same bro....
Roman Malychko I wanna experience all this beautiful life has to offer..

Rm
Thank you, very refreshing ,clean and simple presentation, loved it.
TL;DW
- Hitchhike
- Do charity work
- Help locals
- Get a job abroad
He also says that spending no money gets you to know local cultures better and have a better experience living the local lifestyle.
still pretty sure you need to spend money if you do these things for food
I like to come back to this video every few years. I have backpacked more than 1000 days in my life. I am getting close to 100 countries, hope to get there in the coming weeks. I travel to save as much as I can. Hundreds of hostels over the years. Couchsurfing when opportunities came up. Taking local transportation everywhere. Hitchhiking when transportation is too expensive. Will eventually travel to every country in the world.
what a good ted talk
Very inspiring.
nadherny ..presne tak ..moje rec :)
Poor is a person that needs too much! Got struck in my head
I am leaving in two weeks to travel in Madagascar with no money. My goal is to make it back home to Vancouver, Canada. I think traveling through Europe is probably much easier than traveling through Africa.
How did your trip go?
Did you make it?
@@TC-yx1qt I made it all the way to Egypt. Went back home because there literally was no way to continue. When I had enough money to keep going, COVID hit.
@@TC-yx1qt but I did use money. I didn't use any money for the first 5 days until I lived with someone very poor and then changed my stance on that.
Great adventure..good luck!!
so encouraging!!! I would love to travel and experience the beauty of life but im a woman???
+nor waja I am gonna do this! I don't know yet if I am going to hitchhike, but we can just plan a little bit more than normal and go! And if we have a partner of travel it's easier. There are a lot of sites that provides contact between travelers (Backpackr and so on)
+nor waja
Nor,
I don't know where you are from but do not let ANYTHING stop you from traveling. If you are concerned about your safety, learn how to defend yourself. Not Karate but using all of the "illegal" moves that they don't allow. Learn survival, a skill you can market on the road, as you learn these you will gain courage.
Most people's regrets are not of things they did but, the things they chose NOT to do.
Happy Travels,
Marc-Edward
+Revo Red kind of you
+Marc-Edward Canny thank you so much, i hope one day i can do that, God Willing!
+IndaNor waja Also you can learn some tips. Read, read, read about it :). One of my favorit tip for hitch-hikking is carrying toilet paper and lighter or some another things to fire. If there is problem, you can fire the paper and throw it at back of car. Driver of car loves always car more than to hurt you soyou have time to run out of car cause he will stop and take care about car. You will have time to call police. Stop another car for help. Run far away to forest. Whatever is possible to do in that time :)
A good tip for traveling with no money if you need food and a place to stay, go to the Jehovahs Witness church in any country on Sundays and they are so loving and kind. One of them will offer you shelter
Congrats, that's cool.. I crossed Canada this summer without money too. i filmed my journey's and gonna make a little film ( title: People are Good). i let you the trailer. ;) Thanks to share
"objects have started to possess people"... penetrating
nice english m8
money is just a piece of paper but I DONT HAVE HUHUHUHUHU
the best line @9:45.....thanks buddy being a world reformer, I too think so.
Edit: 9:50 > 9:45
What's a good way to find those odd jobs for a day? Thanks!
2017 I'm off
Take me also 😈
Europe january 2017?
Did you go?
WithSamuel Same here, July 10
great travels !!
How can I start traveling if I am only 16 years old :D I can volunteer I guess..
Tatjana Gobold I think in most cases you will get trouble because of your age. But in just two years you are nearly free of rules. Sorry but my way to express myself in english is limited.
So, how much you can do without bounding to stereotypes and prejudices. Let do your own life)
I have learned to travel the entire world without speaking about where and how much travels I have travelled the countries have been expanded to travel without help and support reading books guides tours
Money is just piece of paper ,
thats cool and all...but i live on an island...i need to pay money to get plane or ferry
Work exchange is not something new by the way. But at least u are not freeloaders. Giving something in exchange .
I've been wondering about visa for crossing border.
+Trey Hurley
No, you need a transit visa which allows 2 or 3 days before you need to move on to somewhere else. Unless the country you're visiting has a visa agreement with your country of origin, then you ALWAYS need a visa.
To some, it's easier said than done. Most of the times, you don't have to worry about getting visas or the limited amount of time you're allowed in a certain country.
***** I don't understand what you mean.
But what about visas?
Visas aren't necessary if you're European and travelling within the EU.
I have $50k saved up...single 28 yr old guy...i want to take off so bad
Then go. $50k can easily last you 2 years of travel without having to work at all
+Adriel Hsu I could go 4 years with 50k
i can go 10 years with all that money
Use that money to start traveling, become an entrepreneur and use your experiences to start a career that you love.
With managing your money well that should be easy
So how did he travel without spending money, again?
+surferdudette19 Basically hitchhiking and helping local people to get to know local cultures and live locals lifestyle.
Supertrampers
thanks!!
You're welcome.
have sex for money
what, and ruin the tinder economy? don't be stupid jenny
With no money is often a joke. U dont pay but someone is paying for u tho. I don't understand why people keep trying to promote free traveling. That's almost not responsible and expect as long as u want to travel .other people need to help u. But that person who is helping u. Works for the car and for the gasoline.
Many people who like this free traveling idea. If the roles reserve . Will u actually pick up a hitchhiker on the road.
You're clueless when it comes to hitchhiking
5,000 homeless/trancient people in Venice Beach travel without money all the time in one of the most expensive cities in all the U.S. And they have amazing adventures. You need to put them on TedX.
+Edgar Arenas Ted already hosted many talks with hobo people I guess. But it's a different matter. Here we are talking about wealthy kind of guys deciding to give up on money and travel in deeper ways to connect with locals and the world.
+Supertrampers Believe it or not, many of the transients in Venice I encounter are college degreed white kids in dreds who come from well to do families but want to "live like Jack Keaurac" LOL!
I do believe you. It's nice to see more people trying to live more meaningful and less materialistic life. So what does it change?
Nice talk. I'm going to stick with business class though.
Isaac Reyes Forgoing the luxuries of a ‘normal’ structured life isn’t something that’s for everyone.
I like to travel this way but I'm a woman and it can be dangerous sometimes...
It can be dangerous for both women and men. But like the guy said, it's statistically more dangerous to stay home. :)
Put speed to 1.25. You're welcome.
+TheKinsler lololol 1.50 works perfect too
I'm pretty sure he's bilingual and that's the reason why he speaks like that. How many languages do you speak? He speaks perfectly fine, and is nothing wrong with it.
+Merari Bonilla Ovando I'm sure that in no way I knocked him. He speaks very good English to learn as a second language so stfu Maria and clean my house
TheKinsler Right? so instead of criticizing you should be more respectful. Btw who's Maria? I guess you can not read too! Have a great day ;)
Haha.... thanks
great, but more difficult for girls even if we only take ONE FACTOR: SAFETY!!!:):):)
Might be little more dangerous for us. But this shouldn't stop us! Let's travel and experience life!
Let's start travel together...
That unstoppable repetitive slapping of his lips on the microphone is so annoying. I had to stop listening after 20 seconds
The mouth clicking is making me wanna leave the video but I also wanna watch😂😂
What a dumb comment. You know what? Don't watch the video, you don't deserve it.
the hobo traveler 16 years none stop 100 counties hes the man
Well, it is possible everything has was saying, but it doesn't apply to single women. :)
+Mihaela Mocanu Weird. All the hitchhikers I know are actually single women ^^
+Davide Fiore I'm glad to hear that. For me I guess it is kinda impossible. Maybe I'm too sexy haha
+Mihaela Mocanu I can see that. I guess beauty makes things easier. So why not trying? ^^ Wish you a safe journey
not with that attitude
Lol
Skip to 7:41 in order to get to the point of the lecture of how to travel without spending money
+Megan Balut I actually highly recommend you don't skip the motivacional part. It is the best of the speech IMHO.
I agree. The best thing about this talk is when he describes our society. I can totally relate.
He fails to mention things like he was do work for food at a place that was trying to make a profit also he rode in cars that people had to pay for with money they earned by working at a job. And there had to be people who went to work and made cars for a company that has to make a profit or cease to exist and then you have many unemployed people. The whole doing something for free only works if other people are going to work for money to buy the stuff that he is using for free. He mentioned doing dishes. Well unless he was washing them in a stream then somebody is working at the municipal water place making sure that clean water makes it to the sink he's using and on and on it goes. I am not a fan of capitalism at all but people have needs and those needs require money. I'm sure if he ever needs surgery he will be glad for all of the expensive medical stuff that will keep him alive. Unless of course he has to hitchhike his way to hospital and dies while waiting for a ride. And no I don't wish him harm he seemed like a very nice person
That's not the point. The point is to overcome the belief that without money we cannot live. He did a social experiment to prove that money are not necessary. It doesn't prove anything but it gives hope to the possibility that -through a shift in values- together we could actually run a society based on exchanges and sharing instead of money.
Some of the points are good, but the general philosophy is quite basic and naive.
+Emeric Lehors Explain
Actually I really don't care, I watched this like 3 weeks ago
" i didnt spend any money" just hitch hiked mooching off other peoples money xD
