People often ask me – how do I afford traveling?

I’ve made traveling the number one priority in my life. Most of my income goes towards my trips. I don’t have children or pets, own a car, house, fancy wardrobe or substantial retirement savings. Many people say they will travel when they are older but I want to see the world when I am young and healthy.

Luck did not play a factor. I have worked hard my entire life to make my traveling dreams come true.

I prefer to visit countries where the Canadian dollar can be stretched like Malawi, Peru and Indonesia. I have seen very little of Europe due to their high prices. I can get a hotel room in India for less than $3 US! The biggest obstacle is the flight so I keep my eye out for deals over eight months ahead of the trip.

The “Best Travel Job Ever” contest offers me a chance to be paid to visit exotic places. Wow! I’m even more excited about videoblogging and sharing the experience. I actively campaign for my friends, family and co-workers to take a chance on their next holiday and choose a destination other than a resort-farm. Thank you all for supporting me in this quest!

I’m doing everything I can to get the word out. Send me a message if you have any promotion ideas for the final days of the contest. I’m open to any suggestions!
