Traveling leaves you speechless and then turns you into a storyteller. Traveling gives you a home in a thousand strange places. If you have always dreamed of traveling, I want to let you know that it’s actually easier than you think. In today’s article, I want to talk all about how you can afford to travel.
Sell Your Old Clothes
There are a ton of websites and apps that allow you to do it really easily now. It doesn’t just have to be with people you are friends with; you can actually just sell it to random strangers on the internet. Nowadays, with all the technology it’s actually really easy to do. Another suggestion that you can do is actually just have a yard sale with your friends or maybe like a flea market type thing. It is a really great way to make quick cash and also clear up room in your closet. It is going to give you more room in your closet and get you more cash in your pocket to save up for your next trip.
Avoid Eating Out
The next suggestion is not necessarily making money but it is saving money and that is not always going out for food. As a food lover, I really enjoy going for morning coffee and that kind of thing. But if you actually do the math on it of how much you can save if you don’t get a coffee every single day you would be very surprised by the numbers. You can instead take that amount and put it into your savings fund.
Offer Freelance Services
If you have a camera, you could offer photography services or putting together little videos or that kind of thing. For example, if you do a lot of photos and videos you could actually go to companies and say if you ever need any photo work of a store or a restaurant you could be of help. A lot of companies have marketing departments that do that but if it was a bit of a smaller business like a bread store down the street and you want to put together a cool little video for them or do some photos you can always approach them and just ask because you never know until you ask. Even if you don’t have the skills for a certain thing yet that you want to do freelance services for it doesn’t mean that you can’t learn.
Be a Movie Extra
It’s totally free to sign up as a movie extra and most cities have it unless you live in somewhere that there’s zero filming work. You would be surprised a lot of cities have movies and TVs being filmed in them from one time or another. So you can actually work full time as a background extra and what’s really great about it is you can create your own schedule.
Traveling is so much fun and it’s actually a lot more affordable than most people realize.
