Transcript

I love when people just say I have rich parents because they've seen I've traveled so much. It just makes me laugh because those are the people that would pass away at the conditions I put myself in. I don't really give a F about how comfortable I am when I travel. I will sleep in a bunk bed with strangers. I will take very questionable transit. I brushed my teeth with bottled water for an entire month. Most people will never be able to tolerate these conditions and that's why most people will never see as much of the world as I have. I don't care because I want to experience things. That is my priority. But the good news is if you are someone that doesn't have a ton of money or parental help, I'm telling you right now, you can see a ton of the world. Follow me if you want to know how.
