How NOT to Plan
19 years old –> Moscow, Russia –> no plans or bookings — > $1000 –> 1 suitcase –> Los Angeles, USA …
… Yes, I actually just got a visa, bought a ticket and left …
Moved to a different continent, alone, as a teenager, with no plans, no help, no family and no friends waiting for me in US… but managed to survive & succeed.
If I could do that, trust me, so can you! Age, time and money should never be an excuse.
For me, “Planning” takes life out of living …
No matter how long you have been planning for or how “perfect” your planned trip is in your head…. Life will happen to it …
Why stand in the way of LIFE with it’s stunning beauty & glorious imperfections and suffocate it with our own FEAR ? …

I travel independently, meaning, buying all my plane tickets, hotels, adventures myself or those trips are SPONSORED. I use public transport and spend 99% of my time with locals.
I try to not only visit a country, but actually LIVE there, be it for a few years, a month or for several days…
Wouldn’t trade my time in a crowded Kenyan Matatu or Ugandan Boda-Boda, even for a ride in a limo or on a private jet!
It takes courage and fearlessness to travel our amazing planet solo, but it’s worth every lost nerve cell…
Actually, it’s worth way more than that…
It’s priceless.

Google is truly an incredible thing … just search “how to travel the world cheap” and you’ll be able to find tons of useful information on this topic.

And remember, Life & Travel is only as expensive or inexpensive as you make it…
