When scrolling through Instagram, it’s common to believe that travel is a costly activity that you’ll never be able to afford.

Right? It’s easy for you to become captivated by private islands & luxury yachts, so you don’t even consider the possibility of traveling the world.

But what if you could travel without having to obliterate your bank account?

Imagine how beautiful life would be.

Over the past few years, I’ve been lucky enough to visit four continents without having to spend thousands of dollars per month on accommodation to survive.

I’ve learned that traveling the world doesn’t have to be an expensive activity reserved only for the wealthy among us. Instead, it can be incredibly affordable if you’re willing to be savvy about how you spend your money.

Below are several ways that I managed to travel to 21 countries on an extremely tight budget (or free). Each one taught me invaluable life lessons, budgeting skills, and massively improved my confidence in social situations around the globe. I’m sure they will do the same for you, too.

Couchsurfing.
