Wise Bread Picks For the last five years, I've been traveling the world full-time, and for less money than I've ever spent (and I'd wager less money than most people would spend) to live in one place. My worldly possessions fit into one bag (just larger than carry-on size) and a backpack containing my laptop and computer gear. This small entourage (weighing less than 45 pounds in total) comes with me as I wander around the world, sometimes quickly, but mostly slowly.
How to Volunteer Abroad for Free Understandably, the idea of spending thousands of dollars and hard-earned free time to contribute to a good cause does not appeal to many people. However, if you have a specific skillset to contribute, it’s far easier to find a lower-cost or “free” option. Be aware, however, that free projects, because they're usually run by smaller organizations, tend to be less organized.
National Palace Museum - 100 Museums to Visit Before You Die Museums aren't just for people who love art and design. In truth, a museum is a place for anyone who's broadly interested in culture, whether it be their own or that of another people, country, or era. The "museum" is simply the building or vessel from which history, including the history of the present, is contained. Most museums aren't just for browsing artworks and getting a souvenir at the gift shop, though. Many are often a sight to marvel at from outside, featuring architecture that even casual observers can appreciate.

Low-Cost, High-Reward Mini-Retirements: Explore the World with International Volunteering One great method for taking an expenses-paid “mini-retirement”–or adding more time to your travels without adding costs–is to work with an international volunteer organization. Some volunteer groups charge a participation fee, but there are some that will cover your food, housing–and provide you with good meaningful work–at no cost. I would like to share with you a few stories from friends who have all taken mini-retirements with Hands On Disaster Response, one such group. 28 Places to See Before You Die—the Taj Mahal, Grand Canyon and More Editor’s Note: We’ve since expanded our life list to 43 sites around the world for wildlife lovers, adventure seekers and those seeking just a respite from their busy schedules. "We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to," novelist Graham Greene once wrote. A growing number of Americans of all ages are embracing that idea by renewing a resolve to live life to its fullest. Exhibit A is the recent popularity of "life lists"—itineraries of things to do and places to go before taking the ultimate trip to the Great Beyond. Bookstores brim with titles such as 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, 1001 Paintings You Must See Before You Die and—for the high-minded—Fifty Places to Go Birding Before You Die.
Adventure or Overland Tour Leaders Nothing beats a free lunch - except perhaps 180 free lunches. Throw in a sunset, an enchanting location and someone else to do the washing up and you would be right to feel that you are indeed a lucky so and so. Even better is that this can all come guilt free: there will be more than enough moments where you are in the thick of the action, taking charge and doing all the hard stuff while everyone else sleeps or relaxes. For this is the life of an adventure tour leader.
