The most frequent question that I get asked is, “How’d you save money to travel?” Most people think that our parents are funding our travels, we’re just lucky, or we’re rich. Newsflash– our parents aren’t funding our travels, we’re not rich and we’re not lucky. I totally understand these misconceptions though. I used to think that too until I started traveling. Simply put, we decided to make travel a priority and sacrificed many things in order to make our travel dreams come true. What if I told you that you can travel the world without relying on luck or your parents? I hope you’re excited because YOU CAN!! I’m going to…
