Wow! such an enlightening read … i am glad you also shared relevant links. I am working a mad corporate job and this looks like an OUT for me .. haha thanks for sharing.

These are some great suggestions, traveling while earning money is like a dream come true for everybody. But one of the best idea is working in cruise ship. They earn money while you travel with no expenses at all.
It’s true there are many ways one can travel the world without spending much or for free. I was supposed to go on a volunteer work in Europe last year but it didn’t push through cos of visa issues. Pero food and lodging is free sana doon! 😅 Oh well next time!
