Frequently Ask Questions
When I was nineteen, I became seriously injured whilst trekking in Costa Rica and spent two weeks in a hospital before being shipped back to the UK. I spent a year recovering from a truly unpleasant ordeal. It was not a good time.
I had always wanted to be a Royal Marine but on account of my injury that dream was abruptly over.
Unsure where my life was headed, I made my way to India and traveled around Asia on a budget of fifty bucks a week, I traveled for two years before returning to the UK to visit my family.
Being in India alone at such a young age was one hell of a culture shock but it ignited my passion for adventure and pushing myself out of my comfort zone.
Crucially, spending time with myself whilst exploring nature gave me the tools and insight I needed to recover from some traumatic events and I realized fairly quickly that raw travel gives you a chance to heal and to grow. The opportunities for personal development on the road are truly endless.
Originally, I had the world’s worst job unloading lorries at 5 am for minimum wage. I worked sixty hours a week to save some cash and then quit, hitting the road for three years and not looking back.
I stretched my money as far as possible by hitchhiking and Couchsurfing everywhere and picking up odd jobs on farms and in bars and hostels, whenever I could.
In a nutshell, I traveled super cheap in super cheap countries.
Hell no.
I gallivanted around the globe on a budget of $10 a day for years. And many of my fellow Broke Backpackers on the team here have also got extensive experience traveling on a tight budget.
In our different ways, we here at The Broke Backpacker all learned pretty quickly that anything is possible if you want it bad enough. All I ever wanted to do was see the world and if that meant sacrificing a ton of comfort then it was a trade I was willing to make. I traveled like a hobo for seven years, sur-thriving on crackers and kindness.
I often camp out and I found that traveling broke is simply the best adventure experience – when you’re broke you’re forced out of your comfort zone, you learn, you evolve and you make friends all over the world.
