I did something like this back in July 2016. It was for Bronycon. Was very broke but somehow manage to have a lot of fun. Also met some actors and got into an online newspaper for having an awesome cosplay. Another thing you can also do is have hotel room share mates. That certainly help out with costs. The return trip back home was very bad though. Since its July everything is pretty much all booked and ground transportation was bleh! especially because at the time a lot of people were walking around and blocking the streets. Finally manage to get a flight home though but the luggage fees were terrible. But still so glad I did it. Probably never get a chance like that ever again…….Or Yet?

Love this: “Don’t make excuses as to why you can’t — find all the ways you can.” However I need help! I’d love to connect with someone who is divorced and time-sharing with the kids. That’s my first obstacle. The second is that my new husband would never ever leave his dogs! I’m an English teacher in the US and would LOVE to spend my summers globetrotting. Then to do so permanently once the kids are grown.

In reply to Alek Zayas-Dorchak. If you mean like "where is my next meal coming from?" broke, no I haven't.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever been seriously broke? I thought in your book you said you had like $20,000 in savings at age 25…

I mean, at that point…f*** it!
Have you enjoyed your travels? Would you say it was worth it?

I found this post on a whim, and reading it gave me the push I needed to go look for jobs (I’ve been stagnating and scared). I found an amazing job posted and applied, and regardless of the outcome, I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have taken the risk! Thank you thank you thank you for the inspiration.

I just want to say that the title to this article is absolutely fantastic. It made me click pretty much immediately, and the advice is good too, all a matter of perspective ?

Appreciate this and many of your other articles! We have some debt and a family of 6, but we are selling our house, cars, and furniture to start traveling in June. We can’t wait!! Looking forward to finding our way and ways to help us move forward and travel longer.

In reply to JP. I had to fact check that Kris Kristofferson wrote that song. And he did! Thanks.
