"I have not been everywhere, but is in my list." - Susan Sontag
Do you think that it is expensive to travel? You ever excited Miró on a glossy brochure holiday of your dreams, only to discover it will cost you thousands of dollars for a 10-day holiday?
If this has happened to you, I can understand. I would also be dream of traveling the world, but get disenhearted when I saw these expensive price tags in travel.
But I've learned that the journey is not expensive. You see, travel agents want to believe that he costs lots of money to travel. In this way can jack up prices of tours to earn larger Commission for themselves. Do I think that you must have money, much money, to travel.
This kind of thinking does not help most of us. Us away from our dreams.
A fact that most people don't realize, is that world travel can be down right cheap. In fact it may be cheaper, much cheaper than staying at home.
Fun travel agents try to sell travel. Try to get you to pay for what you can do for yourself. Don't want you to know, but -
That you do not need.
What do people do when they travel anyway? They get a place to sleep, eat, use of transport systems and spend money on entertainment and some different things as laundry, clothes and souvenirs.
What do you do at home? Pay the rent, buy food (and sometimes go out to eat), the unit or use the bus and spend money on entertainment and various things such as cable and utilities.
Travel expenses are really the same damn who stay at home; the big difference is that it is seeing and doing a lot of different things.
Do let me ask this: if I were to offer you a place to stay in his home town, meals, entertainment for you my choice and they have a strictly scheduled bus that takes you to where you want to go and when, and only charge you $10,000 per month for the basic package, it is accepted?
Not only is it not OK, but it had
LAUGH IN MY FACE!
So why travellers constantly do this same same thing? Why do a lot of money for the same things you can do everything for themselves, much cheaper and much more freedom and flexibility pay travel agents?
World travel is not expensive at all if you know how to do it. You can travel the world for about $1,000 per month; that's only $33 per day.
How much to spend on a normal day at home?
This is an example of average monthly expenses of the person of one of the United States (this is a modest estimate):
Rent: $800 per month
Food: $300
Transportation (gas, insurance): $400
Utilities (phone, internet, electricity, water, cable): $300
Entertainment: $300
Several (clothing, gifts, doctor bills): $400
Total: US $2,500
Now Let's sum-up average monthly expenditure of world travel (when you know how to do this):
Hotels: $300
Food: $150
Transportation: $300
Utilities: $0.00
Entertainment/site-seeing: $200
Several internet cafes, memories (clothing): $50
Total: $1,000
Let's break this day:
Hotel: $10
Food: $5
Transportation: $10
Entertainment/site-seeing: $6.67
Various: $1.67
Total journal: $33.34
World travel costs less than staying at home and offers much more freedom.
I am sure that are thinking that I am tremendously estimate the costs of travel. But in reality, the previous expenditure can be much cheaper.
Did you know that in some countries you can book a three star hotel for $10? Or you can get a comfortable accommodation for as low as $0.50 to $6.00 per night? It is mindful of the tens of thousands of people around the world invite travelers to stay in their homes - free?
What food? Complete buffet is $0.50. Lunch with soup, main dish, a soda and dessert can get for $1.50. Some companies even paid to dine in the restaurants!
Transport? What taxis go anywhere in the city for $2.? Buses between countries for $20 to $50. International flights at 80% off?
Through the balance of their travel with cheap and expensive countries, average travel costs may be only $1,000 a month or less.
Remember that they actually live in foreign countries to you. In some countries the average monthly wage is only $150 - but it is enough to live.
If you are not paying thousands of dollars per month to be where they are, then why?
In many places, with only $1,000 a month to spend away from life as a beggar, to live like a King.
