To get to a different place?
¿Quedarte to live in another country?
Go out for a weekend ride?

Or stay in a hotel of some foreign capital?
Travelling without money = Move without money
Before attempting to travel without money you must be clear about what you want to see, feel and experience. Some things are free and others not. There are certain types of trips for which must necessarily have money, for example to visit a very famous and full of tourists from around the world historic site.

So when it comes to travel without money are we talking more than anything to move around the world, no sightseeing, no shopping, no costly activities. But there are exceptions to every rule. There is also free-ride and stylish. How? Simple ... You're a famous artist, a rock star, a speaker, political, religious, volunteer acclaimed research scientist. But this article can not teach you to become any of those things.

Free move is something they do nomads since the beginning of mankind, even today the Sahara Desert merchants do, and in the field of people travel this Hitchhiking.

Learn to produce income:
Traveling with little or no money does not mean you can not produce it on the road.

There are many activities to make money while traveling. temporary work, freelance services, teaching courses, classes, workshops, consultancies, make music, consultancies, make art, etc.

Who better move in this area they are usually people with some skill for independent businesses. In many cases people in a parallel universe would be excellent entrepreneurs but have preferred to devote his time and ingenuity to generate revenue by step without economic stability and static offices.

Cheap travel:
There are other trips that do not demand almost nothing. For example go hitchhiking to reach some distant city without itinerary and visit friends with whom you exchange accommodation. If you offer accommodation to a traveler it is possible that he can also receive you in their city. Even if you run your expenses in your city, you may exchange it cheaper for both the long run.

There are also communities of many people willing to stay. Examples are sites like Couchsurfing, Hospitality Club and other hospitality exchange networks. But you should also consider that this does not always allow a sustainable lifestyle but limited travel projects. While some people make excellent use of hospitality based communities no shortage of others who believe that you can live parasitically everywhere to drop heavy and that they may lay reluctantly. Do not be one of them. When traveling through the hospitality of the people they expect you to spend time at home, to share your experiences and your culture and / or collaborate with them in some way previously agreed. It can be a very interesting way to meet new people but can also take away a little tour Control of hand.

Priority expenditures:
Expenses that every traveler should have go in this order of priority:

Feeding
accommodation
Mobility
Tickets / tickets / tours
Other (hygiene, batteries, hobbies, quirks)
So the strategy should be based on economic travel distribute and optimize resources to meet those needs. Your diet is essential, although many skimp this point, walk travel demand much physical stress and well fed is essential to maintain health.

Eye on the list is not included the item "Health" as this would obviously spending in case something bad happen. Taking care is important therefore considered to have travel insurance when traveling.

Accommodation can cover sleeping in buses, sharing accommodation with other travelers or internet looking for people willing to possibly stay. Using tents is also an option depending on the place to go. And you can sleep in hostels. Compare prices of accommodation here.

Mobility can cover from sharing a car with people (search forums mochileros.org people who want to share the cost of gasoline with someone who has car). Hitchhike on the road is another way to travel, but you must be very flexible with your schedule and your travel dates.

And finally the full range of buses and cheap flights is at your disposal with different prices. There plays your ability to seek and find those opportunities.

Tickets, tickets and rides are optional. Sometimes if you want to visit places like the Eiffel Tower, Machu Picchu, Iguazu Falls or Salar de Uyuni, obviously have to pay or authorized tickets or tours that allow you to enter the area. So it is a lie that backpackers do not take tours. Obviously, they do not take them to get to a place where they can get for themselves; but there are certain places where you can not go otherwise. It depends on your interests or not go to those places.

What we should not do is feel morally obliged to go to a place that does not interest only "because they all go" or because "as these should go there." That would uselessly spend your resources on something that is not your genuine interest.
