There was another guy before this one that I have been gutless [for the past three years] to talk to. (Unless he's the same one as the one I'm about to describe.)

This guy that had a one of those bikes on four giant wheels; I met him only once a few years ago. We had a few minutes to look at each other on a country road backed up by traffic. I was with my family, so I didn't dare pull out a cell phone or do anything to tell him my number or roll down the window to get his name. Then he wheelied off with two of his friends when the traffic cleared. I hope I can meet him again and talk, even that's unlikely. The only way I can recognize him is through that monster bike.

Other than that I lost the chance with Ran??, and another guy who worked at a Chinese buffet restaurant near campus (but I suspect his mother wouldn't like me.. I also saw him mouth to me before that he loved me... [also reminded me of the guy at school - unless he's the same guy]).

Ironically all four of these guys have one thing in common - their demeanor, and their looks.. isn't that coincidental.

By Martin Edström

"If you can earn $5 a day, you can travel forever.”
That’s Andy the Hobo Traveler’s motto, at least. And he can talk: for close to 11 years, Andy has been perpetually travelling the globe, with no intention of returning home.

For most of us, travel is a finite experience. Our trips may be long, but they always have a Point A and a Point B: a beginning and an end. Most of us return home; some people relocate to a new home; but we always arrive home.

Not Andy. Thanks to the success of his two websites, HoboTraveler and HoboHideout, Andy has been able to travel perpetually for over a decade, making his way through 77 countries across the globe. A little while ago, I asked Andy to share his story.

Andy’s story

I had a successful business. I was making good money, had a boat, two houses. But I was bored.

“I was bored with life in the United States. I had a successful business. I was making good money, had a boat, two houses. But I was bored. I wasn’t married. I was always waiting for the day when I’d get married. Then one day I just took off.

“When I first left, I went down to Mexico for a one-year sabbatical. I wanted to see if I could earn money from the internet. At the time, I was working as a real estate broker, I was very good at marketing and sales, and the internet was blossoming. So I decided to take a sabbatical, move down to Mexico, live in a hostel and work eight hours a day trying to make enough money off it. I didn’t plan to travel forever.

“After about a year, I realised I didn’t want to go home under any circumstance.

“Later, when I was in Costa Rica, I met a German guy, who said to me: ‘After being gone this long, you’re addicted. You’re going to have trouble stopping.’ I never forgot it.

“I decided almost eight years ago that I didn’t want a home. For the first two years I was still thinking I’d go back.

“I was in Khao San Road in Thailand and I’d just made $5 that day through my website. I thought to myself: ‘I don’t ever want to go home again.’ You have to be able to have perpetual income no matter where you are on earth.”

The art of perpetual travel

If the idea of travelling forever sounds appealing to you, you’re not alone. While I haven’t been able to find any other travellers online who have been travelling perpetually for as long as Andy, there are others out there living their lives on the road.

By Martin Edström

So, you're pumped. You've just learned that $5 a day is all you need to travel forever, and you know it's for you.

But now you're wondering: How will you get that $5 a day? And what if you want to earn a little more than that, so you can be a little less frugal or travel in more expensive place?

Wade has been on the road for 9 years, in which time he's made his way through 40 countries and across 5 continents. Last year, I talked to him about why he's been travelling so long; this time, I decided to find out how he does it. Or, more specifically, where he gets the money to be able to travel perpetually.

Over the past nine years, what has been your single biggest source of income?

This is a difficult question to answer definitely, as the ways that I have earned the money to travel has always varied. For seven or so years, I mostly funded my travels off of doing archaeological fieldwork all around North and South America. But now I have been trying to come up with other ways to make up my bean money in more of a continuous manner. Before, I would travel between archaeology excavations and oftentimes work 60 hour weeks for a few months and then just travel for the rest of the year without working at all. This lifestyle became a little extreme after a while, as there was not a sense of real balance: I would jump from periods of doing lots of work to times of no work. While in one extreme I would exhaust myself, in the other I would feel a little lazy.

Now I am trying to balance my bean money strategy out a little more. I am trying to work for a few hours each day, everyday, so as I am able to live one continuous lifestyle as I make my way around the world.

The last time I interviewed you, you mentioned some of the different ways that you've earned money on the road: archaeology, teaching English, gardening, farm labour. Just recently, you wrote on your blog that you've been doing university psychological studies and living off the $10 pay-out. You're obviously very flexible about what kind of work you're willing (and able) to do.

To what extent do you think flexibility like that is necessary for people who want to be able to travel perpetually?

Unless you have a set profession that you can do almost everywhere in the world - like internet work or writing - I feel that it is of tantamount importance to be flexible and take any opportunity that you can to earn money which will enable you to travel perpetually.

Unless you have a set profession that you can do almost everywhere in the world - like internet work or writing - I feel that it is of tantamount importance to be flexible and take any opportunity that you can to earn money which will enable you to travel perpetually. Keep your ears to the tracks, and you will find that opportunities to make a living on the Road with little difficulty. As the vagabond Harry Franck wrote, "something will always come up."

So if you hear of a bar that needs to be repainted, offer your services; if you hear of a hostel whose receptionist just left, show up and tell them what you can do; if you find a student studying English, offer to tutor them.

$50 is nearly a week of travel.

I have also done a lot of trading in my travels. One of the best grafts that I have used is the Hobohideout.com Traveling Webmasters Program, which is a way to trade pages on Hobohideout.com with hotels and hostels for a place to live for a week or two. This works incredibly well. In the three months of travel that I just completed in Eastern Europe, I only paid to stay in a hostel once. Every other night, I traded Hobohideout.com pages for a dorm bed or just slept outside.

One of the most interesting ways you've funded your travels over the past nine years is through university scholarships. You've been awarded over $60,000 in scholarship, grants, and financial aid. Is this something that any university student could do, if they tried?

Yeah, anyone can do it with a little effort. I went to Global College, Long Island University, which is a four year international study program, for the later part of my university study. I just sort of studied off and on as I traveled, taking a semester or two of school when I ran out of money or took up a deep interested in some line of study. Through this school I studied in Japan, China, India, and Morocco, and it really prepared me well for living and working on the Road.

I was awarded Freeman-Asia and Gilman grants in addition to Global College scholarships and financial aid to help cover the costs of my studies and travel.

You've worked on monetizing your website over the last year. How much has this paid off?

I suppose that I have probably made around $2000 over the past year off of the websites. I usually put around 3 - 5 hours a day into them though, so this is probably the least lucrative way to fund traveling. It is a pipe dream of sorts, albeit one that is beginning to work out.

What advice do you have for a newbie traveller who wants to travel and live off income from their website?

Only do it if you truly love it. If you like publishing on the internet, do so regardless of financial reward. The income that I make off of my websites is extremely bleak compared to how much time I put into publishing Vagabondjourney.com. I could make far more money working in archaeology, teaching English, or a dozen other on the road trades, than I can through the internet. But I enjoy writing on the internet and watching my websites grow. It is sort of like rearing a child.

You've had a few articles published. How did you go about pursuing these publishing opportunities?

Up to here, I have published around six articles in three print travel magazines and am currently working as a copy editor for Cafe Abroad InPrint. I usually just write up the article, take the photos, and send them in. Though I have been working continuously for Cafe Abroad over the past year, and do a regular assignment for each issue. It is fun, but I have only made a nominal amount of money from it. I would like to someday be able to go from journalism project to journalism project while traveling and then write the background and day to day information on the travelogue.

Besides earning money, knowing how to save money is critical. It's pretty clear from your blog that you're very careful with how you spend money. What are some of your biggest money saving tips for fellow travellers?

Don't buy anything that you would not croak without. Basic self preservation and nothing more is the key to perpetual travel.

Don't buy anything that you would not croak without. Basic self preservation and nothing more is the key to perpetual travel. Seriously. Find luxury in what is free; if something has a price tag connected to it then stay away! There is plenty to feast on in any country, city, or village that is 100% free. Let the days unfold on their own and do not plan "activities" or try to "do" places, as I feel as if this mentality towards travel will just lead to spending money. You don't ever have to do a tour, old cities are living museums, nature does not usually have a price tag.

I generally always say no to all guides, no to all tours, and no to anyone or anything that demands money. Through living like this, I have found travel to be almost ridiculously inexpensive.

One main note:

Stay away from bars if you wish to continuously travel. Going to bars is expensive, and I have observed many travelers pumping weeks worth of travel funds into a single night. In most countries, a day's supply of food does not cost $3, and I have watched backpackers spend $3 on a single beer in a bar a dozen times in a night. It is a question of priorities really, you can go to bars and then have to go home, or you can travel the world forever. Each drink in a bar just brings you one step closer to going belly up. I enjoy drinking, but I usually do so by picking up a one dollar bottle of wine from a supermarket or a cheap six pack of beer and going to the nearest sea coast, the top of the nearest mountain, or into the countryside. In most countries alcohol sells cheap, it is the bars that are expensive.

As Andy says, "It is far easier to save $20 than it is to make $20." If you have this adage ever stuck in the back of your head, everything will work itself out. It was a startling moment when I realized how little money a person really needs to travel.

Last week, I published an interview with Andy from HoboTraveler.com. His basic philosophy is that if you can earn $5 a day, you can travel forever. What do you think? Is he right?

Sure, if you have the gumption to continually earn $5 a day while traveling then you probably have the determination to keep going no matter what. I think that it is possible to travel the world on a $5 a day budget if you camped on the sly, rode a bicycle or walked, and prepared your own food. It is my impression that if a traveler has the drive to make $5 daily while traveling then they have the drive to always find a way to keep wandering regardless of the amount of money they need.

http://www.travelblogs.com/articles/is-5-dollars-a-day-really-enough
If you earn $5 a day, you can travel forever.

That article received a strong reaction, and not just from people who were inspired by Andy’s approach to long-term travel. Others were skeptical. One reader, J Nizzle, commented:

5 bucks a day. I think that is totally possible. If you don’t mind those living conditions. How long can you sleep on the ground? Or better yet in some seedy places that work with a 5 dollar budget. What is the quality of food you are eating? How about not showering for a few days?

I understand the skepticism. I mean, most days I spend $5 by noon. And that’s not even taking into account the cost of renting a house.

But Andy sent me an interesting email last week, which perfectly illustrates how he is able to get by on so little. With his permission, I’ve published it here, for the benefit of all the doubters.

How Andy does it

I earn over 100-150 U.S. per day, and I am laughing at myself. I am splurging here and getting a really good room for one month and I am still living close to 5 dollar per day

“I just rented a room in an apartment building here in Bangkok. I am sharing it with my girlfriend. Huge room with queen size bed, hot shower, and air conditioning, security and a balcony.

“Cost is 5200 Bath for one month - or 152 dollars.

“This is an expensive apartment.

“However, if you think, the two of us are paying 5 dollars per day for a room, so half is $2.50.

“I ate chicken fried rice last night at the expensive apartment restaurant, it cost 40 baht, the cheap prices of Chicken fried rice is 20. It cost me one dollar.

“These days, I earn over 100-150 U.S. per day, and I am laughing at myself. I am splurging here and getting a really good room for one month and I am still living close to 5 dollar per day.

“Note, realize though in Japan, South Korea, it cost me 30 dollars per day… plus airfare.

“However, in Taiwan I lived in a room for free because I helped the owners four years ago to understand how to market their hostel, when I arrived they gave me a room.

“Wade from Vagabond Journey is uploading photos and making advertisements for hotels on HoboHideOut.com and did not pay much of anything to live in Europe. (Editor’s note: find out how here)

“I think the true test of whether a person is a traveler could be the question: ‘How much does is cost to rent a room?’

“If they say less than 15, they may be a traveler.

“I would say, 5-10 US, as this is the normal amounts I pay.”

Is it for you?

Andy gets by on $5 a day, and you can too - if you’re willing to make some concessions. For example, if you’re trying to get by on a $5 a day budget, you should probably avoid most of Europe. As Andy points out, Japan and South Korea were both more expensive for him.

And as Darren from TravelRants mentioned, there are luxuries in life you will have to let go of:

I could resign from my job, and live off what I earn on my blog, BUT, I am used to the luxury of living in a nice apartment, travel 2,3,4 times a year, have the latest gadgets and live comfortably.

Ultimately, the question to ask is not whether it can be done (Andy is living proof that it can), but: “Is it for me?”

By Tim Patterson


You can travel the world for less money than you spend each month to fill up your gas tank.

World travel is cheap and easy. In fact, with a little practice and effort, you can travel the world for free.
The idea that travel is expensive and difficult is bullshit peddled by tour companies, hotel chains and corporate media.
The tourism industry wants you to buy cruise packages and stay at all-inclusive resorts.
They want you to choose a travel experience the same way you would choose a new jacket at the mall. They want your Credit Card number.
The tourism industry doesn’t want me to reveal the simple secrets of free travel, but I’m going to share them with you anyway.
It can be scary to venture into the world with nothing more than optimism and good-will, but personal freedom begins with a leap of faith.
1. Embrace the Simple Joy of Travel
The joy of new experience is the most wonderful thing about travel – and new experiences are free.
Travel frees you from the grind of daily routine. You will explore new places, meet new people, try new foods and learn things about the world – and yourself – that you never imagined were possible.
The joy of new experience is the most wonderful thing about travel – and new experiences are free. Walk the streets of a city. Stop and chat with a local. People watch in a public park. Climb to the top of a hill and watch the sun set over the ocean.
The simple joy of being in a new place is just a matter of…wait for it…going someplace new. No tour package required.
2. Keep Your Needs To A Minimum
The modern American economy is built on the false premise that people need to buy new goods and services all the time. Again, I call bullshit.
People need fresh air, healthy food, clean water, exercise, creative stimulation, companionship, self-esteem and a safe place to sleep.
All of these things are simple to obtain. Most of them are free.
For fresh air, go outside. For exercise, take a walk. For creative stimulation, go somewhere new. For companionship, make a friend. For self esteem, turn off your TV, breathe deep and open your spirit to the basic goodness of the world.
Things like food and shelter are much cheaper once you get outside the United States. See # 5 below for ways to obtain food and shelter for free.
3. Go Slow
If you live in New York and want to take a 2 week vacation to Africa, it will be very difficult (though not impossible, see number eight) to travel for free.
Indeed, as long as you believe that time is money, you will spend money all the time.
Time is not money. Time is free. You have all the time in the world.
Instead of buying a plane ticket, catch a ride out West, or remodel an old sailboat, or just hop on your bike and ride away from town. The slower you travel, the less money you will spend.
4. Leave Your Possessions and Obsessions Behind
When you travel, you don’t need to pay rent. You don’t need a car. You don’t need an oven, a washer-dryer, electricity, Cable TV, a gym membership, a sofa and loveseat or a closet full of clothes.
You don’t need a suit and tie to wear to your job because you don’t need a job. You don’t need to worry about paying the bills, because there are no bills to pay.
You are free.
5. Trust People and you will Receive Free Food and Lodging
Many people are willing to open their homes to travelers. Chip in with a few chores, and they will give you a free meal, too.
CouchSurfing and WWOOF are two phenomenal online networks that help travelers connect with local hosts. CouchSurfing members are willing to give travelers a place to sleep for a night or two. WWOOF connects travelers with organic farmers who want to trade room and board for an extra hand.
Many members of both CouchSurfing and WWOOF are seeking an alternative to high-impact consumer culture.
6. Learn a Useful Craft or Skill
If you have a skill, such as cooking, animal husbandry, massage, musical ability or basic carpentry, you can barter for free food and accommodation as you travel.
The slower you travel, the easier it will be to work out a mutually beneficial arrangement with a local community or host.
Universally appreciated skills like cooking are best, though niche skills that are in high demand, like website design, are also useful. Native English speakers can often travel the world for free by teaching language classes in each destination they visit.
The slower you travel, the easier it will be to work out a mutually beneficial arrangement with a local community or host.
7. Get Out of the City
Although it’s possible to travel for free in a big city, it’s damn difficult. Cities are built on money, and necessities like fresh air, clean water and a safe place to sleep are difficult to come by in cities.
Go to the country, where people are more relaxed, food is plentiful and there’s ample room for one traveler to lay out her sleeping bag under the stars.
8. Find A Job You Love That Entails Travel
If you need an income in order to pay off loans or support a child, find a job that calls for extensive travel. There are millions of jobs available in the global economy that demand travel.
Of course, some jobs are easier to love than others, and much work that involves travel also involves the destruction of local ecosystems and traditional ways of life. Avoid unethical work if at all possible – it is bad for your health and worse for your soul.
For job ideas, check out the Travel and Adventure jobs section here at the Traveler’s Notebook.
9. Embrace Serendipity
Traveling the world for free requires a blend of advance planning and the willingness to seize opportunities and go with the flow.
Does your new CouchSurfing friend want company for a drive across the country? Grab your pack and ride along! Does an organic farm in Thailand need a farm sitter for the rainy season? Get in touch with Christian Shearer!
As Kurt Vonnegut wrote, “Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God.”
Go Dancing.

Life is like food - you can only enjoy it through experience.

Some cute bird or baby harp seal or unicorn.

Around the world; I have my 2030 sojourn planned.

Take care of myself, then family, then donate to microfinance, democratic schools/education, travel around the world, buy myself something if I have leftover money.

To when I first met him...
