Travel Full-Time for $15 a day

One of the most common questions we get from people regarding our traveling lifestyle: How did you afford it?

Travel certainly can be a strain on the wallet, but it doesn’t have to be. To us, travel is not a vacation. On a vacation, people may splurge and pamper because that one week might be the only time to spend money on traveling for the year. This is perfectly valid. Go for it! However, since we choose to travel long-term, we cannot afford --nor are we interested in -- resorts or all-inclusive packages. 

MORE FOR LESS

Spending little does not equate to experiencing less. In fact, some of the most memorable activities cost little or are entirely free: Couchsurfing, riding a scooter, hiking to a magnificent waterfall, fishing with a Thai family in the mountains, taking a public ferry shared with high school students through the Kerala backwaters, for example. Still, some of the higher cost sights are well worth the price tag. For instance, Angkor Wat and the Battambang circus in Siem Reap, Cambodia cost more than our usual activities, but are totally justified.

Care for Dogs - Volunteering at a Dog Shelter in Thailand

Care for dogs puppiesStealing hearts in the puppy zone
Shortly after readjusting to the city life back in Chiang Mai after staying on the farm, we were off to our next endeavor. About twenty minutes out of the city is a non-profit organization, Care for Dogs, which was founded in 2006. The foundation’s objectives are numerous. Since there is an abundance of stray dogs on the streets, Care for Dogs aims to reduce this number by providing vaccinations and sterilizations, rescue dogs and provide new homes, improving the health of street dogs, fighting the dog meat trade, and educating the public about animal welfare. We saw some ill dogs in poor condition, but they were in good hands and were healing slowly, but surely. However, most of the dogs were quite happy and active. They all just needed a home and some love. Currently, about 200 dogs live the shelter either healing or awaiting adoption.

Organic Farming in Northern Thailand - Happy Healing Home

1/7/2016

When planning our grand post-Korea travels, we knew we wanted to do some volunteering along the way. Jumping from site to site and constantly being on the go will exhaust us quickly. Being just a tourist isn’t appealing either — to better understand the environment, we wanted to immerse ourselves in it by connecting with locals and making a contribution, as much as possible and where appropriate.

Volunteering can do more harm than good sometimes, and we did a lot of reading on this topic. One quick read we recommend is the The Volunteer Traveler’s Handbook. So we try to keep all this in mind when seeking opportunities to donate our time.

That being said, we recently volunteered on an organic farm in the mountains of northern Thailand.
