Travel
is almost always on every one's to-do list in life, but based on my
experiences of traveling through over 15 countries I didn't meet many
fellow Americans along the way. I discovered that roughly only one third of
Americans own a passport and apparently not many use them. The most
frequently said countries on my travel list were Australia, Canada and
Europe. So, why didn't more fellow Americans explore the world? Coming back to
the reality of the U.S. I always understand why.
Traveling
the way I do is a lifestyle. It requires patience, humility and
intrigue into exploring all things unknown. My passion is
to experience the world from local prospective and see not just the highlights,
but to live for the beauty of everything in between. I
choose to be a smart journeyer that lives simple and explores adventurously.
Most Americans want to live the dream of building an
empire of material status and then travel. However, wealth and status is never
guaranteed, even if you work your entire life. So, if the end result is always
traveling, then why not travel, why wait? I didn't want to be 50 years old
climbing Machu Picchu, so why not now? Even though my financial status almost
laughed at the idea to travel, anything is possible. I just had to change
my prospective on the how.
I originate from Los Angeles, California, the land of the Hollywood dreams. Every travel series/magazine currently available highlights only luxury travel but never the lifestyle of backpackers' and the long-term journey. So I never knew how realistic traveling was until I stepped outside of my comfort zone into unknown territory. Everything is almost always cheaper than America, so cheap that I could live the lifestyle I wanted but couldn't afford in the U.S. Why didn't more people know about this? Traveling long term is a commitment and lifestyle but rich with life and experience vs. rich with material possessions.
I wanted to share my experiences of how easy and affordable it is to travel the world. I give you the behind the scenes look at the life of a backpacker. Expose the daily grind of long term traveling and show it's reality in a Hollywood way. With that being said, this is my journey to celebrate the wanderlusters', hippies and lost souls that travel to find themselves. Traveling is a movement to inspire life of freedom and exploration enriched by culture. With a guarantee to entertain at the pursuit of making travel my life.
