    About this ebook

    Coming from a small town in the mountains in California where “traveling” meant driving three hours to the nearest shopping mall, Sarah grew up with an itch to see the world. At 26, she’s visited over 20 countries with no plans of slowing down.
    Even though she’s seen quite a few places, Sarah isn’t a professional traveler. What she hopes to share with others is that you don’t have to have some wonderful job as a travel blogger or be super wealthy to see the world. With a bit of planning, anyone can do it.
    When Sarah isn’t looking up flights to distant places or planning her next trip home to California for some much-missed Mexican food, she’s chilling at her home in Buenos Aires.

      Introduction

      I think I know why you’re here.

      Remember back in high school when you made plans with your besties to travel the world together? You were going to drink champagne at the top of the Eiffel Tour. You were going to ride an elephant in Thailand. You were going to take that adorable jumping picture on the Great Wall of China. You had it all planned out. Sleep in dingy hostels. Hitchhike through the countryside. Give private lessons in English to get some extra cash for the expat pub-crawl. Sure, things would probably go wrong sometimes, but it didn’t matter. Those stories would become perfect inside jokes that you could bring up during the toast at your bestie’s future wedding:

      If Emily hadn’t remembered to bring her trusty compass that we all gave her such a hard time for, we would have been lost that night in Paris.

      But, we all know that the moment we move that tassel to the left, things change. We go off to different universities, or we get jobs. We start settling down. The plans to travel the world together get more difficult to organize, and we start to become more intimidated by the idea of traveling at all. It just seems like so much work.

      But as much as the reasons, legitimate and imagined, keep us in our home country, the desire to travel never really goes away. Maybe we don’t expect our best friend from high school to be the one on the bottom bunk in the hostel, but we don’t ever lose the daydream, itself. We don’t lose the craving for different foods, for sunrises over different mountains, for the smell of different air.

      If you’re here, it’s because you’re ready to figure out how to finally have that dream of traveling come true. You’re here to challenge yourself, to surprise yourself, to enjoy the world around you. And it’s okay if you have no idea how to do that yet. I’m going to try to help you figure out how to make those daydreams real.

      Who am I, and why should you listen to me?

      First of all, I should tell you I wouldn’t consider myself a full-time traveler, a travel blogger, or a travel Instagramer. I don’t speak multiple languages. I’m not a photographer. I’m not, by any means, wealthy. In all honesty, I’m a pretty average American from a small rural town in California who always had dreams of leaving said small rural town to see the big world.

      Yet, by the age of 26, I’ve visited over 20 countries while also getting a bachelor’s and a master’s degree. I’ve studied abroad, I’ve figured out how to have some of my trips paid for, and I’ve paid for my own trips out of my own meager savings. Over the years, I’ve had just about every possible thing go wrong during my travels, and I’ve also had some incredible luck. But most importantly, I’ve learned a whole lot about how to keep traveling. Because once you light that spark, you’re a world-traveler. There’s no going back.

      Of course, you don’t have to care who I am. But sometimes it’s relieving to hear from people who have figured out how to travel even with a pretty average background. Because before I started traveling, I always thought of it as this somewhat magical thing that only extraordinary people did. You traveled to Europe? What are you, some kind of superhero? It’s not until I actually heard from people who had traveled that I figured out that really any average person can do it. You don’t need to be rich, or talented, or, even, mature. Anyone can travel. I’m the proof.

      And, of course, not everything that I say about traveling is going to line up with your experiences and personality. Everyone has their own travel style, and you’ll find yours as you start to navigate the world. That’s why there are 101 tips in this guide, so that you can pick and choose the ones that
