I was afraid of leaving my comfort zone and going by myself into the unknown world, and I was also afraid of not having any money. And then the people that I hosted in my apartment told me two amazing things. First of all, you don't have to be brave to travel, you just have to have. A little bit of courage to start to leave and the other thing they told me is that you don't have to be rich to. Well, actually all expenses while they're travelling fall into three major categories. First, the transportation to get from point A to point B. The other thing is accommodation and the last is everything else, food, drinks and so on. And they told me if you minimise those three expenses to some minimum. Would be actually cheaper to travel than live in your own city. I listened to them and I for the next five years I've been travelling around the world with almost no money and this is how I did it. First thing I hitchhiked. Uhm, apart from being free apart from being really fast, it allowed me one amazing thing to have an adventure between point A and point B.
