How I Afford to Travel the World (and so can you)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- In 2018 I first started to travel the world and today i'm going to share with you how I afford to do it, and how you can too! I first left to travel abroad in 2018 when I moved from the USA to Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam. My goal was to use my savings and find an English teaching job in Vietnam so that I can save enough to travel around Asia. Eventually I did that and then transitioned into teaching English Online while being able to live from anywhere in the world. But what else did I do so that I could afford to travel the world?

U must have had a decent savings to travel from place to place. Do u have other steady income for travelling? Do videos on TH-cam bring income?
@@Yasin_Affandi Right now i've saved enough to travel for one year in hopes that my youtube income will eventually be enough. I'm planning on making another video of how much i earned from my first month of youtube!
@@alexandwhite That would be interesting. Many vloggers admitted that they only make small income from their videos. Anticipating your next video.
How tall are you? If you need add money in indonesia sign indonesian talent agency in bali or jakarta, the money is good for you i recommended 21mm int model in jakarta call samuel abraham or you search agency in bali
@@idkreatif8701 only 5’7 haha I’m too short
You can really see the impressive talent and skill behind the filming and videography in all of your videos. I have no doubt you will BLOW UP in 2021! Keep up the great work!!👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks Maddy! Really appreciate it, can’t wait to see the videos you put out on your channel 👏🏼👏🏼
Travelling makes me feel happy. Enjoy your life
Makes me happy as well! Thanks for watching Asarikhan 👏🏼
Great video bro. Happy to see the channel growing 💯
thanks bro! super excited, congrats on getting over that 200K mark as well man!
Might move over to Bali also it's one of the best places I've visited
Haha yeah same here William! It’s my 5th time here now 😅
Actually I was questioning your good and clean editing and videography skills thats explains it , and honestly you have a very humble way of talking and expressing your thoughts. wish you all the best man. And a small suggestion try doing info based content about local communities as all VLogers focus on creating content for travelers and tourists. 👍
Thanks Anan really appreciate you watching and thanks for the suggestion as well! 👏🏼👏🏼
So im in love with indonesia, I would love to be a traveller one day and see whole World. Keep going, love ur work 💖
thanks so much for watching Boszka!
I came across with your videos and loved your story-telling. Unique and not dragging
These videos are extremely high quality! You’re not just another travel vlogger and it shows. Keep up the great work man.
Thank you for the compliment Jordan! Really appreciate it man
Hey! You have gained a new subscriber here🙌 . I guess you are the first TH-camr I came across who is down to earth and also shares how you fund your adventures. It's so refreshing and inspirational for youngsters who wish to travel on a budget. Waiting for your Jakarta videos mate 😎
Thanks so much Vidushi 😁🙌🏼 appreciate your support. I’ve got a lot planned for Jakarta can’t wait to show what it has to offer travelers 👏🏼
U make me feel like my dreams are actually possible! Thank you! Keep it up
Thanks so much for watching Talita 😃😃
To be honest, I have no doubts in speaking English but when it comes to teaching someone, I think that's quite hard. Hey Alexander, was teaching English hard?
Thanks for this video n d beautiful drone shots around places u have visited.
Thanks Yasin! Really appreciate you watching as always!
@@alexandwhite My pleasure.

I've been getting recommended your videos on my personal account so you're doing something right! Focus on audience retention and I can definitely see your channel start to take off.. Thanks for the advice - Hasan
Haha that’s awesome! Yeah I’m totally working on that hopefully it improves little by little. Thanks for watching Hasan! 👏🏼👏🏼
He’s so dope y’all and he really does respond to his Instagram messages! Thanks for the useful content ❤️.
haha Thanks Enetimi! Appreciate you watching and commenting! 👏🏼👏🏼
Just subscribed. Keep the content coming please, your work is excellent. I loved Bali when I went there for my honeymoon, and while I loved it, I regret not staying longer. For me it's the perfect balance between culture and modern living.
Thanks Mohammed! Really appreciate you watching. I agree that’s why I always find my way coming back!
Advice on becoming a better Travel Vlogger? Also, what’s your recommended video editing software? Your videos are clean and topics are great without the fluff. Bravo!
Hey Jerris! Thanks for asking, one of my favorite topics. Best way to become better is to keep filming and practicing talking to the camera. I can't tell you how weird it felt first starting to film myself in public, but now it feels way more natural. As far as editing I use the 16inch Macbook Pro and FCPX. It takes a couple days to figure out the buttons and controls to edit but after a few videos you'll get the hang of it
@@alexandwhite THANK YOU! Going to practice. I appreciate the advice. Means a lot to me. Ciao!
Hey, l found this Video of yours Which gave me the answers l need. Thanx a lot.
Glad it helped!
This video makes me feel good
Thanks for watching John! 👏🏼👏🏼
Great video! Jenny and I just started our TH-cam channel and we’re moving to Mexico to try living abroad. We knew about teaching English, but not partnering with hotels that was pretty cool. Thank you for the info we hope someday we can travel to Bali. Lastly, your videography is really awesome! We’re gonna subscribe to learn from you! Well cheers and happy new year!
That’s awesome! What part of Mexico?? Appreciate you guys watching my videos haha let me know when you visit this side of the world 😁👍🏼
@@alexandwhite our final destination is Merida Mexico but we’re gonna explore the gulf coast of Mexico before we reach Merida. We came across your video when we opened the TH-cam app. They’re really cool keep up the great work! We will definitely reach out to you when we head out there we’ve visited Thailand,Vietnam and Cambodia but missed out on Bali! Next time for sure!!
Hi Alex!
As always, a fantastic informative video!👌🙏🏻
Thanks so much Sean!!
i went to bali in 2k18 for my honeymoon. Its a beautiful place to relax and enjoy.
Enjoy your stays there.
- peace from India :)

Why you dont need to add the Songs in the Discription?
All my songs are from rebrand.ly/MusicBed
When you come to the Philippines, I suggest that you visit Banaue, where there are stunning rice terraces; the ones in Battad are the best, as these are in an amphitheater-like formation.
I ❤️ Bali as well, especially Ubud, for the Indonesian culture that it showcases. Bought some paintings by the local artists there.
For the (white) beaches, however, Bali’s are no near the sugary sand and azure waters of the Philippines’.
Yes!! I can’t wait to visit the Philippine beaches but will def have to put Banaue on my list as well, never heard of it actually
@@alexandwhite You may also visit Sagada, a town in the Mountain Province that’s a six-hour drive from Baguio City, the Philippine summer capital. The weather in Sagada is cold-maybe as cold as or even colder than Baguio’s-especially in December and January.
You can go spelunking in Sagada as it has caves with stunning rock formations in stalagmites and stalactites.
Another wonder in Sagada that’s worth seeing are the hanging coffins and the bats.
From Sagada, you may travel to Banaue via Bontoc. It’s a 1.5-hour jeepney ride from Sagada to Bontoc, and another 2.5-hour jeepney ride to Banaue.
There’s really nothing much to do in Bontoc, except visiting an ethnic museum.
From Banaue, you may opt to travel for seven hours by bus to Vigan City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Established in the 16th century, Vigan is a Spanish colonial town that showcases the marriage of architectures of Southeast Asia, North Asia, and Europe.
For the beaches, fly to the Visayas, in central Philippines, from Manila. Boracay is the most popular island for beautiful beaches, but it can’t beat Palawan. Visit Coron and El Nido, in Palawan, and you will know what paradise is.
Good luck on your travels, Alex.
Cheers!
I'm happy to know that there are rice fields other than Bali. I would love to visit the Phillipines one day too. I hope we can get back to some normalcy one of these days not too far ahead in the future!
@@ADayintheLifeofRia There are rice fields all over the Philippines, Ria. The rice terraces, however, are found in the mountainous region of the north, mostly in the town of Banaue, Ifugao province, where there are cooler climes. The central part of Luzon, the country’s biggest among its more than 7,000 islands, is the rice granary.
@@frasejonco Okay thanks. Hope to visit one day! 🙂👌
I miss Ubud. Awesome video!
Thanks so much for watching man! 👏🏼 Ubud is really quiet at the moment
this is so cool. thank you for sharing your videos...
thank you for watching remia 😁🙌🏻
Great job Alex! Enjoy Bali without the madness. I look forward to your next installment. How are you getting around the 30 day or 60 day stay duration and visa limitations? Warm regards from a displaced Indonesian in Ontario, Canada.
Thanks for watching man! I actually just had to do my first visa extension yesterday so far very easy

Wow this is exactly where I am at now. I teach online and I was living in Bali for about 1 year. I came home to the US in August and now I am pretty burned out. I want to transition out of using teaching online as my only source of income. But its been quite difficult. I hope I can find something else to do.
Hey can you pls tell me how to get into online teaching . Pls. Thank you
Yeah I was in the same position Kayla! It’s great source of income but mentally draining haha
I totally relate to that. I did that in Paris for 4,5 years. I said I wouldn't want to teach English again but here I am teaching Balinese kids. But it's only once a week for an hour and they are adoorable. And it's free.
Did you manage to find something else?
Thanks for another great video man! Super well explained and I am currently trying to set up multiple smaller revenue streams to allow me to travel while earning money as well. Hope to be in Bali by early next year with my current plan, definitely will stay tuned!
Nice man, I'm literally doing the same thing. Making small revenue streams that'll add up in the long term!
or mate i have been traveling australia new zealand and around asia for the past 3 years, unfortunately corona messed up visas and sent us home back to the uk. so disappointed. Cannot wait to get back out into the real world, absolutely fell in love with bali and will be back out there soon
Yeah I had so many travels planned as well before the pandemic began! Just finally getting back into it again. Thanks for watching Kyle, hopefully you begin your travels again soon 👏🏼👏🏼
@@alexandwhite no problem mate enjoy your travels, once we are back out there we will be in touch untill then i will keep watching your channel. live the dream mate
I like your videos ! do you edit your own videos ? im looking to travel to asia !!
Yeah I edit everything myself!
hey bro love your show!!! can you talk about if you traveled what countries you been to and what's the easiest countries to hookup and what races do good in these countries on your next video thanks!!!
How do you stabilize your videos for b roll? I saw your camera gear and didn’t see a stabilizer. Looks smooth 👌🏽
Walk really slow and post stabilize in editing
@@alexandwhite thanks!
Hey Alexander, can you do a vid that includes Hospitals, Healthcare and pharmacy's. May not be the most popular subject but it sure is for me. Thank you. I just found your channel and you have a new sub. Thanks again.
Hey man can you add retailers for phones and electronics also. Thanks
I'll try to mention that in one of my future videos
glad to see so many younger people actually woke. Wish i had open my eyes while still healthy. 🙏🏽✌🏽🇺🇸🇵🇷🇵🇭
its a big goal of mine to travel the world while I still can 👏🏼
Nice vlog beautiful Bali.
Thanks for watching Mo!
💗
Great edited video! I *may need to get me a drone. Love the views. Makes the videos that much better. I enjoyed watching your video!❤️ ...I started teaching English in February, but unfortunately the Pandemic hit so I'm almost back at square one. Do you know if there are teaching jobs in Bali currently or soon??
In Bali its alot harder to get a teaching job in school, unless you teach online which is easy to do. The only English company i know of that is here on the island is EF English. I don't know much else about them though
I'm still looking the way to find that kind of job.
You are amazing guy. I love guy who love challange in life. Wish I can a partner like you 😍 i will support him 100%.
Great video Mr. White, say hello to your father Walter from me 😎🥃
Hahaha thanks Lars 😂
New sub!
Yay! Thanks for watching! 😁😁👏🏼
How do you stay in shape while traveling? Do you always find a gym or did you perfect a home workout routine?
Hey Rohit! When I was in Mexico I have several workouts I do from home without weights. In Bali i've found a gym I can go to for ($1.80 USD) each time i visit
I have somthing you Can do in bali that non off the TH-camrs did
whats that?
We all know your uncle Walter wires you some of that blue stuff money from time to time ;)
your channel is blowing up dude, great times ahead!
Haha uncle Walter? No I’ve been making my own money since college living on my own. I’m mostly now living on savings and TH-cam income
@@alexandwhite
Your uncle Walter!!!
Walter White?!
@@jeanlouisofficial9697 oohh haha sorry haven't seen breaking bad in forever so didn't get the reference immediately 😂
Gr8 video and very relatable cuz I'm a german teacher going to do something similar ... one question: in which range do you have earnings with 2k on youtube?
Thanks for watching Pedider! I'm going to do a video on my TH-cam Earnings next month! Be on the lookout for it 👍🏻
The biggest questions is how are you wearing a shirt in ubud?
Have u visit Jogja?
Hey Alexander can you ad stores for phones and electronics also. Just your opinion on them. Thanks
like how to get sim cards?
From your past experiences, which country is d most affordable to stay when travelling.
Vietnam!! It's SO AFFORDABLE almost crazy how little you can live off of there
@@alexandwhite Thanks. As far as I know, most places in d south east asia including in Malaysia r affordable for travellers of all types of budget, except for Singapore.
Nice video bro. my wife and I @adventureswhilebkack use to live in Bali too. For anybody else reading this too, hes right. Teaching english is a great way to get out and see the world. Super dope video, stay dangerous.
Hey Joel! thats awesome, where did you guys get to visit? I started teaching in Vietnam before moving to Bali. It's a great stepping stone to begin world traveling. But now i'm glad I stopped and committed full time to youtube 🙌🏻 you guys still teaching?
4:00 what place is that? Gorgeous beach!
Thats Cozumel, Mexico!
which adventure activities are you planning to do in 2021?
that's a surprise 😉
Great video! How did you get into Asia during the pandemic? I thought all of it was closed, specially from the U.S.
never mind I saw your other video th-cam.com/video/v7TtRM7BVQ8/w-d-xo.html thanks! very helpful.
Yeah, most countries in Asia are still all closed and only certain visas will grant you access.
Nice video bro ..which website did you teach English on? thanks
Hey Graham! I used SayABC but they also have a larger sister company called VIPKid! I would recommend both
Hi . I enjoyed video. Question. How much approximately does it cost for a year traveling like you travel?
Hey Jase! For myself I’ve budgeted about $1,000 usd per month. So 12,000 total for the year. Currently I’m on track 3 months in
Thanks for the information. With regards to the online teaching, what companies can you recommend sign up with?
I had experience with SayABC but my friend also worked for VIPKid which was their sister company
Hey there Alex, if you want to set me up with an affialate link for a visa agent feel free to do so! Otherwise if you can simply recommend one in case you dont have a partnership, Id appreciate that as well.
Hey Leo! Yeah just message me on instagram (@alexandwhite) and ill give you her whatsapp number, don't wanna share her private number in the comments
There’s also the only fans option for earning money online 🤣
Hahaha totally forgot about that
See Wellcome! @Alexander W.? So Amazing explore have to U... Guys! Likeeeeed! Bandung. Bye..!!
Hi Alexander! How do you contact hotels to work for them? do you send emails to a large number of hotels with your media kit? how does it work?
thank you :)
yeah depending on what city i'm traveling to i'll send out my media kit to a few resorts or hotels
Hello!
I hope all finds you well.
As one of my dreams is to travel full time, I would love to ask for some advice from you. I have no idea where to start though I would love to try out becoming an online English teacher. I have no experience in that field but I have a background in Communication Studies and Sociology. I would really appreciate any tips or resources you’d like to share !
Ps. I tried to message your Instagram account but it’s says you aren’t accepting messages at this time.
As I watched videos about making money while traveling, no Digital Nomad ever mentioned about online trading as one of their sources of income. Any one ever use it as a source income as a Digital Nomad? Care to share your experience the +/- of it ?
I know that’s certainly an option, but personally I’ve never done it and don’t know enough about it to recommend unfortunately
That's such an interesting point. I wonder if it could be that the people doing trading are not interested in that lifestyle and viceversa.
@@gehdochnicht NYSE, Nasdaq & Dow Jones open at 09.30PM to 04.00AM Indonesian time. People should be able to trade half session and continue it by swing trading for the next day. It shouldn't be too risky, no?
Great video. New subscribers here. Let's stay connected.
Thanks man! Really appreciate you watching 👏🏼👏🏼
I got mortgage to pay. Too bad
Ah i'm not there yet, but soon haha
@@alexandwhite your life so much better than me. FML
I was travelling in Nepal and met an Austrian guy who had been travelling for almost a year. Said he had rented out his appartment and the rent was a lot more than his travelling expenses.
@@annetnedelec1313 that's because he is Austrian. The rental there is high
What website did you teach on? Can you please help me know what the requirements are?
I used a company called SayABC, they also have a sister company called VIPKid. I recommend you look into both of those. The requirements is to have a bachelors degree in any major and a TESOL or TEFL certificate
Thank you!!
See you in Bali soon!
I'll let people know the requirement to be an English teacher in most Asian countries
You're white? You're an English teacher. Periodt xD
Now - so interesting about the rice fields being all overgrown. We visited a couple of years ago and it was SO BUSY. I hated the crowds although the place was pretty enough. Now this video shows how you can video so well...makes sense. I'd love to get my son doing more vlogs and mentioned your name to him today. He is a "big", well-known youtuber here in Indonesia (and uses Javanese mostly). By the way - there is plenty to do and see here in East Java. It hasn't relied so heavily on overseas tourism so isn't doing as badly as Bali. Also, because of the times it has meant that most of us who would have previously gone overseas or to Bali or Lombok are happier finding places here in East Java to go to for a holiday/break from the big city.
Another great video! I may take you up on your offer and send you a question on IG regarding your experience teaching English. Something I'm looking into if I make that big leap and travel full-time for a period of time.
Yeah man absolutely! It’s a great way to travel and make extra income while being able to live abroad
