I paid for a lot of my travels by working in national parks in the US and Canada. You get to work in a beautiful place, go hiking and backpacking, meet cool people and at the end of a few months you have money left over and can then go traveling to other countries around the world. Work six months, travel six months, go back home broke and do it all over again.
Hey I am from Jamaica I can't wait to see you come into my country and make a video link up with me when you are here my friend Drew I would like to talk with you how can I get in touch
Drew, I feel like you responded to me directly on this one as I have mentioned a couple of times how the heck can you afford the travel life. Thanks for your transparency on the issue and appreciate your telling everyone about different job opportunities overseas to support travel habit. You are in good times, when I was your age society would have labeled you as a loser because you didn’t fit into any of the things that we got into at that time. You are to be applauded, life is not about degrees, job status, house size etc. The winner is truly the one that has experienced the great amount of visual beauty and cultural experience that you have been able to. Be safe and maybe I will see you in the phils some day
Following your dreams is an awesome thing. To many people in life complaining about government, circumstances, money issue while you follow your dream. Good luck bro
I decided to go to college to become a sailor. I can work half the year and spend the other half traveling. I will say this channel has definitely influenced me in making that decision. Thanks Drew! On a side note, I think in addition to visiting foreign countries, I want to dedicate a good amount of time to traveling around my own country, the USA. The 50 states are so diverse and I really only know the New England, New York and Florida areas. I want to visit Everglades, the Bonneville salt flats, drive route 66, visit the desert in Oregon desert, see the west coast, the Pacific northwest, go skiing in park city, go diving in Utah, go to the indoor mountain bike park in Ohio, etc. The USA is soooo diverse.
I'm from Brazil and I live in China for eight years, there are plenty of English teachers earning good money here, enough to travel whole Asia and enjoy a good life in China. All u said is true. :D
Hi, are you teaching English in China? how easy to find a job as English teacher even though English is not my native language? I would like to do that but I am not sure if they require English language as native one? thanks
@@sebastianarielburd3119 I don't teach English anywhere but was sort of interested in it. I looked into it & looked like you don't need a teaching degree, but you need to have a degree in something. Didn't matter what, as long as it was a degree & I think it had to be at least a 4 year one
Drew is a very special guy with very special chances to be who he is because it’s his life journeys meeting his desires. So I love living your journey vicariously through your videos. Thanks for being you.. it has truly inspired and allowed me to travel the world through you even though I know I would have a maybe a little different experience mycellf it still feels so good to collect the knowledge you put in these videos. Your one of my favorite channels on RU-vid .. again thank you. Chief 🔥
I pay for my travel through a travel agency that allows me to pay in installments. Travel can be cheap as long as you travel smart: Dont go during peak times, do open jaw trips, stop trying to stay at 5 star hotels (you are only using them to sleep and store your stuff), eat what and where the locals eat, do your research and find out what you want to visit before you go (dont rely on tour packages to show you everything).
My dad managed to visit every coastal country in the world by getting paid he worked as a chief engineer in cruises and cargos and yachts now he is living in Germany
I'm really impressed on how you get to explore the world. Wished I had the same opportunity to travel around as much as you do. I'm now at 48 countries visited but its hard with a full time job and limited leave. I hope to reach 50 before I turn 26 this July
Feeling so glad to see other people travel and actually “screaming” out the ways/opportunities of how to achieve it. Best travel guy out there! You are truly an amazing inspiration.
that’s in north korea i’m living in north korea i can not travel ): And yes u have to study for 18-19 hours every day i’m a student by the way i don’t suffer because now i’m used to it
@@qurantv4003 given the fact that you have access to RU-vid and are caught up in American news: your prof pic is Kobe Bryant, you are certainly not in north korea
Love you drew Love from India🇮🇳 I've been following you since you had 173,000 subs!! When you hit a million I was so happy as I knew you deserved it!!! Cant wait for your jamaican video
Hey Drew, I know that you come from a background of middle class American parents, at least, not everyone can afford to study abroad/pay for college at an out of state university (which is why it’s cheaper to go abroad, it was the same case for me, but had I lived in state, I would have paid the same to study abroad, but if you are an out of state student it’s a good option). I don’t know if you took out loans or not, but I think it’s important to the story. Not everyone has this reality. I appreciate you, and your work. But I think it’s important to acknowledge your privilege as well. It’s also much harder for non US, European, British and Canadians to get the chances to work in these places. You have a worldwide audience, but I’m assuming this only applies to those people. If you have a weak passport (those videos on it you made were great), it’s hard to travel to work, you won’t get approved.
The BIGGEST FACTOR : Currency Exchange Rate : $€¥£ have High Exchange RATE.. Which I Thought He would Mention, but he dint, + VISA free Access by U S citizens + Being White as ENGLISH Teacher in East Asian Countries. I think HE Purposely Hid the FACTS Coz he wants to INSPIRE the PEOPLE so he Says GOOD Points but HID the BAD aspects coz he KNOWS NOT Every citizen of the Country can Do that..
although I enjoy his videos especially the $10 challenge vids, I wouldn't want to travel and experience the way the locals or the poor live ( I know it sounds f'd up but..) I would want to travel to live in luxury...for example, I live in NY so I traveled to Turkey and basically spent a week in the one of the best hotels in Instanbul went to the best restaurants I can find bought a whole bunch of stuff and basically if you tried spending the same amount in NY would be a few days in ny in an average hotel doing average things etc
@@devotedrealestate1540 well sorry but in my opinion travelling isn't about that. When you travel you should go out of your comfort zone and experience the country to which you travelled. If you just get the best things then you didn't do anything. By doing that you just take a long plane ride and then do the same things as you do at home. Travelling is about trying something new and experiencinh a different culture.
awesome video drew, very inspiring. now I get my travel expenses into my photography & videography gigs, while my day job is paying for my bills and dues.. starting to my RU-vid channel as well. you're an inspiration drew
Drew : How he affords to travel ( SHOWING RS 20 INDIAN CURRENCY in thumbnail) Me : Having those but still cant afford to travel even one out of those 189 countries.... 😂😂😂
Traveling abroad from a country to another by teaching langauges was an idea that I kept considering for quite a long time. So thanks a lot for this video!
Very good advice Drew! I dropped out of college and got a job at my favourite local club. Fast forward 8 yrs and I'm a bartender at a very famous bar in Dubai and close to many other countries I can visit for cheap. Even better is that I get to meet other nomads who fill me with great ideas for my next destination to settle in. I'd say if you've got a passport that lets you in easily all over the world, you've got no excuse to live out your travel dreams. Mine makes it hard to move to many parts of the world even if it's just for a year or two. Also for young people with the travel bug, I'd recommend to hold off starting a family until your 30s and have zero debt. Spend your youth mobile and ready to relocate whenever you feel. Also you won't feel guilty spending your income on adventures if you've got no other oblt
How amazing you are! You’ve been experiencing many countries. I love that. And I love the Engsub in your videos because it helped me learn English easier and helped many people in the world. Keep going and share more. I really appreciate you.
Hey, I’ve thought about the things I’ve said to you and I’d like to apologize. I shouldn’t have been so mean to you, it wasn’t right at all. I was just tired of seeing the same people, my anger got to me. And it was wrong to unleash it all of you. So, I hope we can coexist peacefully
DREW , you are very good PERSON. Whatever you told is applicable to only US , BRITISH , CANADIANS N AUTRALIANS. cannot generalised. But still thank you so much for encouraging n boosting confidence.
im from vietnam and i have been too several countries such as laos, thai, malay, singapore, korea and new zealand. I used my salaries to afford tickets and hotel rooms so i find your vid is useful for me
I was born in Brazil and moved to the us when I was 12 and this summer I’ll take my little siblings to Brazil so they’ll learn Portuguese and I’m looking into teaching English there, which should be super fun!
Love your channel and so impressed with you open spirit and your very informative videos. I love traveling the world vicariously with your videos. Many thanks a s stay well. Namaste🤟🏼
I love you so much. I am working on becoming a grant writer for Native Tribes so that I can write their Grant's for them from anywhere on the world. I will also do webinars soon! So, hopefully, I will be able to work from anywhere in the world, very soon!!!
A tip to avoid spending unnecessary money while travelling - take a tent and sleeping bag! Once you get used to camping you can stay in many places (outside of cities) for free!
Cycle Our World don’t try that in some developing countries and/ or make sure to know the neighbourhood . You will get robbed and not safe for women at all.
@@cinderea I know many women who wild camp regularly :) Obviously, local customs and attitudes should be paid attention to, but fear should not stop people travelling in this way. I've spent more than 100 nights outside like this and never had a problem
It soo crazy that you I already knew all the information in this video before hand but Drew... man you put it so simply! Not gonna lie, during these times its gonna be hard but there still so many opportunities!! gosh I cant wait to resume my journey again!!
Being a digital nomad is probably the best idea because that way you aren’t taking opportunities away from locals like what being a scuba diver on a foreign island would do. Think about the impact you make before you take that job
I taught English in Japan throughout the 90s and learned to speak Japanese quite fluently. It was very safe, although not always welcoming to gaijin (This is the least polite and most common word in their language for "foreign barbarian"). I enjoyed my decade there and have occasionally thought about moving back.
