everyone welcome back to my channel my name is Lea also known as travel Lea and
today I am answering one of the most asked questions I get every single day
and that is how in the heck do you get to travel full-time like how is this
what you do every day so I'm going to answer that question right now before we
jump right into this please make sure to subscribe to give this video a big
thumbs up and hit sure to hit the bell notifications so you get notified every
time I have a new upload right now I'm on the road to 10k by May help me out
I'm really trying to boost up my Instagram and my YouTube channel by
hitting 10k by May so it would really really help me out in my channel out by
hitting that subscribe button everyone asks me how I travel full time
that's like the most commonly asked question people ask me that like there's
a job place that you just click and then you just apply to this job that's called
full time to travel uh-huh it's not that easy however I'm gonna explain to you
guys in detail what it takes to be a full time traveler the different types
of full time travelers and the steps you need to take to achieve all of them so
just a disclaimer I understand completely
that it is easier said than done okay please don't think that I am just making
it seem like this is the easiest thing to do I understand trust me I was there
I understand the fear that you have to get over the determination the
dedication that you need to make this happen I understand that but I believe
in every single one of you guys and I know that if this is something that you
want to do deep down in your heart you can do it and you will go after it
I am here to help you so there are four types of full-time travelers out there
so I wanted to explain all of them because there's different steps that
you'll need to have that you'll need to take to be these different types of
full-time travelers this is not just one there's an umbrella of full-time
travelers but then there's different types underneath that umbrella if that
makes sense and just so you know there's there's probably many others out there
but these are just the top four that I know that I meet these travelers all the
time the first one is a savings account full time traveler the second one is a
digital nomad the third one is the voluntary move backpacker and the last
one is an expat so we're gonna dive into all of this for one the first type of
full-time traveller is the savings account traveler that is me currently so
this is just a person who saved for this I know a few of them on Instagram I'll
post them down below I'll shout them out they were similar like me they decided
hey I want to travel around the world so they saved a certain amount of money
they put that away and then they left so these travelers also know that this
not might not be an indefinite definite journey for them they know that it might
end when their savings account ends just keep that in mind that these full-time
travelers might not be doing this for the rest of their life they just want to
take that big round-the-world trip like me whenever I say that I save money
people always want to ask how much I cannot answer that because it really
depends on how you travel and you as a person but I can give you guys some kind
of ballpoint numbers so this so you know that there's different types of
travelers so there's gonna be that boogy high-end luxe traveler then there's that
rugged off-the-beaten-path staying in hostels and couchsurfing I will give you
a ballpoint for smack dab in the middle that's kind of me
I'm in the middle of both of those extremes and I would average $1,000 a
month per travel that is just on average so a lot of places you'll spend way
under and then some places you might spend a little bit over but I think it's
a great rule of thumb just to make sure to save $1,000 per month that you want
to be away so if you save $5,000 you can realistically be gone anywhere from
three months to six months if you save $10,000 you can realistically be gone
for six thousand six months to nine months okay okay type of traveler this
is probably the most commonly known is the digital nomad so the digital nomad
is a person who has started a business where they're able to work remotely as I
didn't start business they might just be on social media and be able to get
sponsorships through social media they might also be into digital marketing
affiliate marketing digital marketing they might have like a dropship company
they might be copyright they might be freelance something or other but
regardless these people are able to work remotely all they need is internet and a
laptop and they are making income while traveling this is what I inspire to be
this is why I'm on my road to 10k by May so if you haven't clicked that subscribe
button please click it right now thank you very much that would really help me
out because that is what I'm aspiring to be as you guys know I started with a
savings account but that's not gonna last forever so I need a back-up plan so
to be a digital nomad is gonna take quite some a process it's going to take
an entrepreneur mindset a business plan a ton of creativity and dedication but
that is probably the most solid way to be a full time traveler I mean these
people honestly this is usually what they want their whole life to be they
don't want to ever go back to corporate America they don't see themselves having
that normal cookie cutter lifestyle that America brand they
went to this free lifestyle so they know that they need to make this into
essentially a full-time job for them so they are working but at their own pace
whenever they want and most likely they're working from the beach so that
is the digital nomad I unfortunately cannot give you too much advice about
how to get started except for to be dedicated to come up with a business
plan but there's tons of videos on YouTube on how to be a Doge digital
nomad especially in this generation where that's like the Millennial thing
to do so definitely check out one of those videos and also come back and
share that with me because I'm also trying to be a digital nomad so the
third type of full-time traveler is the backpacker the person who you know
literally can travel off of next to nothing they don't need much they just
need a place to stay and some food in their belly these are literally goals
okay I completely admire them I have met them they left the country with like 500
bucks and they're still going it's like year two so these people have found ways
to travel for free and believe me there are ways to travel for free or for very
very very very little money and if you would like a detailed video on how to do
that please comment down below in the comment section and I will make a
detailed video about all the different ways that you can and travel for free
we'll just mention a few of them there's couchsurfing.com you can couch surf the
world for free yes it is sacrificing your comfortability and
going outside of your comfort zone but you are just sleeping on people's
couches for free for free in traveling house-sitting some people houses sit in
different countries I met a lovely woman in Switzerland who was there for a month
and she was couch no she was pet-sitting or house-sitting or maybe it was both
how amazing is that she got to live in Switzerland virtually for free because
she just needed to watch somebody's house you can travel for next to nothing
there's also volunteering where you can volunteer in exchange for a place to
sleep and food there's so many different ways like I said if you would like a
separate video I can dive into all the different ways and explain how you can
travel the world for free or next to nothing
I honestly greatly admire these travelers I feel like they have the best
experience of travelling around the world because they are hanging out with
locals they're seeing the country outside of the tool the tourist traps
and all the tourists just all the tourism they're stepping outside and
they're actually seeing the country with open eye and they're off the beaten path
a lot of the times they are they have the best experience I believe when it
comes to traveling and I admire them and the last type of full time traveler this
might you might be like well that's not really a full time traveler I still
consider them a full time traveler and this is the expat so these are people
who have jobs in different countries they work in different countries and the
reason I consider them a full time traveler is because they do so much
travel because you have to understand once you put yourself in a different
region of the world you have access to so many different places that you don't
have like for example in America you know our region you see a lot of people
go into Canada and the Caribbean and Mexico
that's our region right but if you place yourself in Asia yo you got Vietnam you
got career you got Japan you got Bali you have Thailand you have Cambodia you
have Laos you have met and buy and Mart you have Singapore Malaysia I can keep
going you have all those places and you know with any job you get holidays you
get three-day weekends four-day weekends you know so those people who decide to
move to different countries and live there also have an experience of similar
to a full-time traveler because they are in a different location and to do this
one of the most common ways to move to a different country is to teach English as
a foreign language also people teach English online without having like a an
actual job to go to they just teach online so to teach English as a foreign
language you need their need to a have a bachelor's degree or B have a teaching
English as a foreign language certificate or both so you just have to
do the research on which country needs what a great website to visit for that
is teach away dot-org I believe I will put it down in the description box this
website has all the information about what type of qualification that you need
it has job opening so you can apply straight through the website and it's
just for teaching English as a second language and so that's what I did in
Switzerland that's what exposed me to traveling solo
I was able to travel all over Europe very very easily and conveniently and it
made me want to be a full time traveler so I quit that job and now I'm
travelling full-time so those are the four types of full-time travellers that
there are out there once again there is a savings account traveler there's a
digital nomad there is the backpacking couchsurfing traveler and then there is
lastly the expat so I want to know what type of full-time traveler do you think
you would be do you want to be or you already are
comment down below in the comments and I'm really curious to see what type
of full-time traveler you guys would like to be like I said I'm the savings
account traveler and but I would like to also be the digital nomad so that's me
what about you I hope that you guys learned a lot from this video if you
have any questions again comment down below in the comment section I will
definitely answer them or if you would like some more in depth support if you
want to travel solo or full-time but you don't feel like you know where to begin
