Once I get to the point where I am earning $1,000 per month online or more, then I can now start to invest in myself and my adventures. The reason this is so important is because I do not want to be frugal during my travels. I want to enjoy the journey. I want to be comfortable in the process and not take a 15 hour bus just because it’s only $20, whereas a flight to get me there in 2 hours may cost me $150. I seek to be able to budget efficiently, but not all the while stripping myself of every luxury and comfort that exists out there.
I have plans to head through Ecuador and down towards Bolivia. It looked like this
Quito -> Ambato Bus ($4-$6)
Ambato -> Cuenca Bus
Cuenca -> Mancora Bus
Talara -> Lima Flight
Lima -> Cusco -> La Paz
This is an idea I want to do. Create some short animation videos to portray the adventure and so people can be prepared to tag along with my as I journey or document the process. The problem over the past year is that I have gone through a lot of my savings and I don’t want to just continue to burn through my savings all whilst not producing more income in the process. If I knew I had income flowing into my life, I would be comfortable to spend money every month to further go out and explore on these adventures. However, since I was doing it before and seeing no results, it becomes discouraging or frustrating to continue if I feel I am just a man, not having fun, burning through his hard-earned savings.
Another small concept is as follows:
Berlin/Munich -> Turkey, Train
London -> Prague Austria ($30 flight)
Prague -> Latvia ($40)
Latvia -> Estonia ($36)
Jump from city to city, sticking to flights under $50
3 Days per Country . Itinerary 515 -> 5 Countries in 15 days.
All these travel itineraries cost money, and I need to know that I can cover my expenses to feel comfortable doing more. There’s so many more ideas, but I must spend this time producing an online income so that I am capable of fulfilling these little travel adventure trips that I seek to share with the world, and to fully embrace a life of sustained travel. Money is a necessity in life to do things, go places, and to survive. It’s just how it is. I will always need to buy food wherever I end up, I will always need a bed to sleep in, I will always need to pay for activities or excursions if I want to experience an extravagent adventure that is specific to that country. Now, I must first build up that online income to fulfill this destiny !
