TRAVELING WHEN I WAS BROKE, WAS RICH FOR ME
- Traveling by taxi from Pretoria and across Lesotho
- Hosted by locals
- Getting lost
- Locals allowing you to travel on their donkeys & horses
- Getting involved in different ceremonies of different cultures
- Sleeping under rocks and in caves
- Not having proper Traveling gear
- Receiving gifts and given new names everywhere you go
- Tasting all kinds of local food
- Bathing in rivers and waterfalls
- Your believes and knowledge getting challenged & recycled.
- Meeting people who are genuinely happy to meet you and end up as friends you can always visit
- Most importantly, you realize what they taught you about other cultures was mostly a LIE
Its only later on you realize how RICH all those experiences were. How they changed your life. When traveling broke, you never know what the day has in store for you.
It's more like freestyling through a journey.
Unlike when you book in hotels, and have tour guides, you already know what to expect and on most cases have seen videos and adverts about your stay and experiences to come. Hotels are nice, but I don't remember coming back home and telling someone about my stay in a hotel.
Traveling broke throws you into REAL ADVENTURE you will carry for the rest of your life. Unexpected experiences partly curated by you.
Dear Young People
You have the health, the youth, TI:ME and the energy to carry you to spaces you will never be able to get to or do when rich and older.
Everytime I come across older people when I travel, they all have one thing in common they tell me....."I WISH I HAD STARTED WHEN I WAS YOUNGER "
Don't wait to get rich. TRAVEL BROKE.
That's RICH.
