21 Tips for Finding Cheap Flights
Here is a list of the resources I like using on my road trips
as well as some resources I made just for YOU!
Free Travel Guide to Europe And Life Lessons From Travel
I backpacked across Europe for 1 month with a rail pass and spent less than $1800 on airfare, the rail pass, lodging, food, and activities, all included. I documented the things worth doing in each place, as well as other resources, along with the 11 life lessons I learned from traveling Europe and the USA.
The Purpose of this book is to Encourage, Inspire and Enable you to travel. I believe traveling is a transformative experience everyone should partake in as early on as possible. It changed the trajectory of my life and I am sure will change yours. Now it is up to you to go experience what I am talking about. Just click the front cover to get your copy.
It would have been nice to earn money from writing this book, (because it did take A LOT of work to write it) but that would defeat the purpose of enabling you to travel on a budget.
So, I ask that after you read this book (no matter where or when you got it) please determine how much value it provided you. Then based on that value, donate to help support me in my travel adventures as I strive to bring you more value through my future books, videos, tips, tricks, etc.
Any amount is very much appreciated! After reading this book I hope you see that I know how to stretch $1 very far. And if you didn’t, just know that I am GREAT at getting the most bang for my buck, no matter what it is. That’s part of what I believe makes me unique.
