Travel as Far as the Eye Can See
March 1, 2010
As school winds down and the future looks more and more wide open (since – as many of us know to well – job opportunities aren’t exactly flooding my inbox) I have been thinking more and more about traveling. Many people will tell you, “Go to school now, save up, raise a family – then you can travel.” First off, I don’t want to wait fifty years to see things I’m not positive will exist by then, and second my idea of the perfect trip probably doesn’t appeal to many seniors.
I want to get down and dirty everywhere I go. I want to eat street food, sleep in hostels, ride in cramped buses, and generally just experience all the things I can. Like Tony Bourdain, but without all the leather and television crew.
But Tony has certain benefits I lack. The most important of these is, of course, money. So how can I travel as much as possible on the least coin possible? I’m sure people out there have amazing stories and travel “hacks” so share ‘em with the community. While you wait check out some interesting travel oddities from around the net.
