Why You Should Move To A New City Where You Don't Know A Single Soul There’s no better feeling than setting a courageous goal for yourself and defying the odds to achieve it; jumping headfirst into the unknown with an open heart and an open mind. While you may be comfortable living in your hometown or your cozy college city, sometimes you need to ask yourself if you’re truly taking advantage of the world’s opportunities — especially while you’re in your 20s. Your 20s are your years of freedom, before mortgages, kids and general grown-up responsibilities kick in. Too many people let fear of the unknown stop them from taking chances and forget that only with great risk comes great reward. Moving alone to a new place (whether it’s the other side of the country or the other side of the world) is an experience like no other: part terrifying, part exhilarating. If you decide to take the plunge and move to a new city where you don’t know a soul, here are some of the wonderful things you’ll discover along the way: You’ll feel an overwhelming sense of freedom

Use a ‘Fake’ Location to Get Cheaper Plane Tickets I can’t explain airline pricing but I do know some plane tickets can be cheaper depending on where you buy them or, even better, where you appear to buy them from. This is all about leveraging foreign currencies and points-of-sale to your advantage. For reasons I never quite understood, every time I tried to book a domestic flight in another country, the prices were always exorbitant. But, say, once I was in Bangkok, that same flight that was once $300 would fall to $30 almost inexplicably. Most people don’t know there is a simple trick for “changing” this to get a cheaper flight on an airline’s website; it’s how I managed to pay $371 for a flight from New York to Colombia instead of $500+. To demonstrate how this scheme works, we ran a one-way search from Cartagena to Bogotá—two cities in Colombia—for June 17 on Google ITA, Kayak and Skyscanner. Unsurprisingly, Kayak takes a U.S. Where to change point-of-sale in Google ITA. Prices shown in Colombian pesos. I search again.

How I Afford to Travel… And You May Not Like What I’m Going To Say | Kate From the States The honest truth – I never have the money I need to travel, but I buy the ticket anyway. I’ve realized that money comes and goes, but the more I make, the harder it is to part with it and weirdly, the less I have, the easier it becomes to budget. I don’t do that saving account, checking account, travel account thing either. … And I want to live around the world. I’m working seven days a week and I can’t even afford my own place yet. And so the google search began. I’m going to need to work abroad. Working while you travel is literally the smartest thing a person can do. But you can’t do it forever. So with this information. I mean, lets face it – If I moved into New York City when I was 24 years old, I’d be working to pay for my apartment. And even if I stayed home and kept working like I was – I wasn’t saving what I needed to get ahead. If you tell people you work 7 days a week, they don’t see anything wrong with it. I hate that mindset now. SO I looked into it. Have you heard of 0% APR?
