    so i am old enough to be your dad. if you were my kid, i would be super proud. i teach my kids 2 things. don't be in debt. don't be a burden on society. you need to do a TED talk.

      Exaaactly!! I read a book called Big Magic and this is what I wrote in my journal:
      "I think they had faith I would always be able to take care of myself because they taught me to.
      The golden rule in my family is this: if you're supporting yourself financially and you're not bothering anyone else. Then you're free to do whatever you want with your life.
      Maybe because they didn't worry too much about me, I didn't worry too much about me either.
      It also never occurred to me to go ask an authority figure to go ask permission to become a writer.
      I'd never seen anyone in my family ask anyone for permission to do anything
      They just made stuff.
      So that's what I decided to do.
      I decided to just go make stuff."

    I 100% agree with using workaway as a means of travel. I’ve had the most amazing experiences using workaway, mostly working in hostels all over the globe. Workaway has allowed to travel to Norway, Turkey, Israel, and Morocco so far and I plan on doing it again! I always recommend it to people looking to travel on a budget. Another benefit of using workaway is long term travel and befriending the locals. It changes your whole experience :)

    Every ski resort has crews to clean rooms, make up beds and do laundry, every single day. Those crews usually get room and board, lift pass and minimal income (some do not pay any). This is everywhere
    Lots of yachts in the charter trade use stewardesses. That is a glorified word for house keeper and servant but, you are in great locations, you meet loads of people and you are in the warm and sun. Yes, you set and help serve breakfast, then clean the staterooms while the guests are off playing, you get to set and help serve lunch, you have some time to maybe windsurf/scuba dive/snorkel/lay in the sun, you set dinner and help serve it and in the end, someone has to wash and someone has to dry those dishes. Pay can be good and the tips can be marvelous.

    It's especially sad cause then they don't understand that they can do it aswell. They just get jealous and think- yeah whatever her parents payed for that, she must be rich I can't do that. It's so sad cause so many people don't realize if they save up and work for it they could do it aswell, + it is really not that expensive and you can always work on the way (or volunteer).

    Yes to making sacrifices. I afford full-time travel by being a house sitter. No mortgage / rent is WONDERFUL! But everything I own is in my luggage and a closet in my parents' house. It's all a trade-off.

    • @heyshayla
      @heyshayla  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Find presentations, events, festivals, talks around the things you’re interested in. If you love fashion find events near you you can go to, go interview a professor. Just reach out to anyone in the industry and ask them out to coffee (pay for it) or email them with VERY CLEAR and direct questions. I get “how can I travel” a lot. Those are hard to answer and hard to get back to. “I’m interested in yoga/ finance/ nursing is there any way I could travel with this in South America ” is so much easier to answer and connect people. If I have a good answer!

    I lived in my car for a year and then a tent and then bought a 13 foot trailer. I had more money back then than I probably ever will again. I also worked full time. I payed 100 a month to plug a cord in to a side of a house. That was the good life. Now that I have a daughter I can't live like that. LOL. I miss the good old days.

    Hi, I am a full time traveller since one year and I've been living on savings so far. Now I'm looking for jobs, but whatever job I think about there's always one issue that I have no idea how to solve: if I want to work legally, how do I do this in all different countries and for any different kind of job? Are travellers doing this always under the table?

    • @heyshayla
      @heyshayla  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It depends on the job, you can work online. If you work in a place a lot of times it's in exchange for accommodation or food and depending on what it is you might just get paid a little cash fro it

    Nice when you are an American, but when you are from an overregulated country you have to pay shit like social insurance, health insurance, taxes on all your property. It's like 400$ a month, might not sound as much but average salary here is like 1000$. So if you wanna travel you have to save up a lot of money JUST to not go to jail, plus there are of course plane tickets, food etc. Or you can work abroad, which isn't much travelling since you are just working and can't go anywhere.

You can earn 1/2 of your ESL Certification through them. The other half you do online. Then, you can teach ESL on line with Angloville for about $10.00/hr + other online sites.
