How to Travel All Over the World When You’re Dirt Poor

The world offers a ton of vacation spots. But traveling can burn a hole in your pocket. So, here are some out-of-the-box tips and tricks that can help you experience the world, enjoy good food, and interact with other cultures even if you’re flat broke.

Teach English Overseas

If you speak, read and write English fluently, you can earn some money teaching overseas. There are a lot of countries that will pay big bucks for English teachers. Get a TEFL certification as this will open up even more English teaching opportunities.

Sleep in Shared Rooms

We certainly wouldn’t mind booking a room at the Hilton. But if you want to save some cash, try looking into a bed and breakfast, a hostel or a place you can rent a shared room. You’ll get lower rates ranging from $12 to $35, which is more affordable than most hotel rates.

Work in a Hostel

Find a job at a hostel. They’ll let you use their accommodations for free. You can even get a large carby meal like breakfast, so you can feel full the entire day. Not only will you save money on a room, but also on food costs.

Use a VPN to Find Best Deals

Travel sites have ways of tracking people who visit their webpages. So, if you go a second time, they’ll bump up the price of the destination you’re trying to fly to or the hotel room you’re trying to book. To keep this from happening, use a VPN and get the best deals.
