The most common misconception of travel in the 21st century is that it costs way too much money.  This is rediculous since the internet has brought all sorts of way to MAKE Money from traveling.  You can make money or break even just from wandering around the world.  I have personally traveled to South America and stayed in a village for a month, traveled 49 United States, seen music conerts on 21 continents, backpacked Europe, all by volunteering my way through and trading work for a bit of food or some place to sleep; and using the internet to keep me connectted to an entire world of customers.  When I staterde traveling I adopted a mantra of “Live Globally, Work Digitally”.  I now earn a substaintial income from travelling thee world.
