About Christine Gilbert (that’s me) is the author of almostfearless.com and has been traveling overseas with her husband Drew Gilbert since 2008. That’s a long time in travel years. I used to be a corporate manager until I got my dream job in Boston, felt restless, decided I needed a complete life-reboot and jumped at the first idea I had: to become a writer and photographer. So… I bought a camera! I sold our stuff! Then we had a baby. Cole at five months. We kept traveling! One day, we decided to film a documentary about other people who had quit their jobs and decided to work online while traveling. Christine & Drew. Three months later, Drew lost his job! We are as surprised as you. What now? We finished filming the documentary, I am working on a book for Gotham/Penguin that is due to the publisher in 2014 and Cole hasn’t lived in the US since he was four months old. At the moment, we live in Mexico. Whirlwind? What have we learned? Where We’ve Traveled Contact Christine

How to Manage Money When Travelling It’s Travel Money Week on Never Ending Voyage to celebrate the launch of our new travel budget app Trail Wallet. You’ve been saving hard and now you have a big pot of cash to spend on travelling the world. But how on earth do you manage your money when hopping from country to country? How do you access it cheaply and safely? We’ve put together this detailed guide to managing money when travelling to help answer these questions, using our own four years travel experience together with advice from other long term travellers from around the world. Open a Bank Account with No or Low International Fees The main way you will access your money on the road is through withdrawing money from ATM machines using a debit card. The problem is that many banks charge high fees for withdrawals abroad. For example, Lloyds TSB bank in the UK charges a fairly typical 2.99% foreign exchange fee plus a 1.5% cash withdrawal fee (minimum charge of £2).

How We Plan to Travel Forever A year of travel was never going to be enough – too much world and not enough time. The monotonous, sedentary lifestyle that awaited us upon our return simply fuelled our desire to make travelling a permanent state. The question was how. Luckily for us, there are plenty of opportunities where, instead of paying in cash, we can contribute time or effort. This helps stretch the travel budget as well as offering unique and interesting experiences. Couchsurfing Couchsurfing is a huge hospitality network where hosts from around the world allow travellers to stay on their couches or in their spare rooms for free. House Sitting Stay in some amazing houses all over the world rent free with house sitting. Accommodation/Work Exchange You can save huge amounts on accommodation costs by working in exchange for a room and sometimes meals.

How We Saved 75% of Our Income to Travel We saved £30,000 for our first RTW trip and it was hard. Like titanium alloy hard. Titanium alloy edged with diamonds hard. We swore that we’d never be that frugal again – what possible reason could anyone have for putting themselves through such an ordeal TWICE? Six months after the end of our last amazing trip we were at it again. There’s a travel bug going around and we got a bad case of it. This time, we managed to save over £23,000 in just 9 months and it really wasn’t that bad. We aren’t rich by any stretch. 10 Steps to Saving for Travel 1) Record your spending – Start a spreadsheet and write down EVERYTHING you spend. 2) Create a monthly budget – Allocate money to each essential area – mortgage/rent, insurance, utilities, food and transport etc. Salary – (Essential Expenses + Fun Budget) = Savings. 4) Increase the interest on your savings – Research the best savings accounts to maximise the interest you earn on your savings. 5) Stop buying things – It’s very simple, just stop.
Five travel websites we couldn't live without Posted on 18. Nov, 2011 by Jess in Top Lists, Travel Tips A friend of ours is getting married next summer and already daydreaming about the honeymoon to far away, exotic places. Doing a search for a trip to Bali, they discovered the airfare to be far out of their price range (traveling in summer from an airport that is not a major hub). Also, with so many hotels boasting to be the best or most romantic, they were feeling planning fatigue before ever really getting started! That got us thinking – what travel website could we NOT live without? Hotwire.com Maximizing our Great American Road Trip experience from New York City to New Orleans this summer was an intense undertaking. Hotwire.com is a travel deal aggregator which finds users great deals on hotel rooms/cars/flights that would otherwise go unbooked. Bookingbuddy.com This is our ultimate price comparison website, we use it constantly for travel planning. Booking.com Tripadvisor.com Wikitravel.org
