      He is not rich and said “*Travelling doesn’t need much money. It just needs proper money management, courage to sacrifice other things you want for your travel goals.*”

      **Initially, he saved portions of money given by parents, later tried ways to earn such as**:
      – Taking tuitions (being good in math), later switched to skype classes.
      – Reviewing hostels and referrals.
      – Working in hotels in exchange for food & accommodation

      **He cut down his expenses by:**
      –  Staying with locals for free (Couch Surfing)
      – Hitchhiking
      – Travelling through land
      – Staying in hostels & self-cooking.

      **He recalls a time when his pocket got empty in Kyrgyzstan and stayed there for 2 months to work and made 50k from a part-time job**

      It’s an arduous feat to be honest as it’s done by an Indian Passport holder which has a very low rating compared to any developed country.

      He should’ve streamed live on twitch. Would’ve made travel money back.

    6. All countries in the world include a lot of horrible, dangerous places. I wouldn’t in a million years have this goal.

      Man I wished to do this myself some day

      Congrats to the guy, of course

      But at the current state of the world, it seems impossible

      Curious about the full list, given that not every country is considered a country by *every* metric.

    9. See someone from my country being mentioned on a positive note for the first time, and the people in the comment section are being miserable.

    10. It’s an awesome feet but it’s a mad rush as well. If you have to take things slowly to enjoy your journey.
