well, what he did at 30+ years old is what I did when I was 19, now i'm at another level.

When i'll be 30 for sure I won't be spending all my savings and then go back to a 9 to 5 job. That's not who I am. I roll differently.

Don't let anyone discourage you Neil. Your country reports are fascinating and much more useful for me than what the people who really focus on money produce.

In particular the drama with the perfect-faced north African girls was epic fer sure. What do they do with their precious extra money? Hang out in "Hilton bars". Is that impressive? It's just consumption. It's boring.

Focusing on money eats your time, so that you become less interesting because you don't do anything else. I've done it. It's unavoidable to a degree unless you're born wealthy, but it's not an ideal to aspire to.

Neil, I didn't post any hate. I am just saying that many wouldn't want to spend all their cash traveling the way you did with nothing to fall back on.

Besides, all that matters if you are happy with what you did and how things turned out.

You spent very little time on your blog. Let's be honest, shall we? I said it a few times on this forum and your response was to invest all your time into traveling and work when you got back home.

You had three years to blog about your travels and pull in traffic to sell stuff. Lot's of stuff to sell as an affiliate until you got your book up and running. At the end of the day, there is nothing stopping you from making money from a blog and getting you back into the world. You seemed to be happy with very little cash so that will make it quicker to get back to SEA or some other cheap poosy paradise..

I do consider making fun of make current living situation a bit of a low blow.

I knew beforehand that I was gonna spend all my money and start from nothing. I thought it over and it seemed like a thing I could do and then start from scratch which is a challenge but I like challenges. It will be alright and I already have some plans again to make some cash.

About my blog. I kept a dutch blog from the start and didn't start out traveling as a player. It grew on me and after nearly two years i decided to start the blog about it which has seen many changes in the last 1.5 years. You have to consider the fact that i knew NOTHING about building websites, SEO etc etc. Absolutely nothing. I had to learn everything myself and ask others for help sometimes.
I build a website from scratch while moving town every 4 days on a 10 inch laptop while keeping a Dutch blog and traveling boozing,chasing pussy and sometimes just surviving. It's not as easy as it looks.

Traveling with a budget of 1500 or 4000 a month makes a huge difference. There's no denying that nor am I debating it.
It both has it advantages. 4k buys you luxury and easiness of traveling.

Traveling and gaming on 1.5k brings out other qualities and facets of traveling a 4k traveler will never see.

I'm not saying one is better than the other like Hairyballs is doing. I'm sure he has other qualities than me (presuming his story is true) He would be better at hanging out in high end places and mixing with higher classed people where I would fall out out of place.

I on the other hand am probably capable of surviving just anything, anywhere. Even if the world looked like a scene from Mad Max.

Just to rectify this. I did say that in the last few months of my trip when I was seeing that my traveling were coming to an end and I was going to have a lot of spare time when returning home.

It seemed wiser to take as much travel and gaming experiences as possible in the little time that I had left.

For people saying i had time enough to build some sort of online empire while traveling. Just realize I know nothing about all of this. It would be silly to think I could compete with millions of guys doing the same with all kinds of college and computing degrees and skills and probably a network of people doing the same. While traveling the world.

Dude, I make money online. It isn't that hard and if you put 3 years into something like that you would understand. You didn't work for 3 years man! We all learn skills from scratch. It just takes work and you were more about the traveling. I swear you were spending more time with graphics on your site than writing. Writing is what brings the people.

I wouldn't consider what he make high end. Maybe in some 3rd world countries.

What I don't like about this guy is that he thinks he owns the world. Look at my first comment in this thread, then look at his reaction a bit lower. He can't even make the difference between traveling abroad (backpacking on $1.5k) and living abroad succesfully.

That's why I decided not to read his book, I find it utterly disturbing to think that he thinks he owns the world because he slept in hostels and on peoples coaches for free, without anything to fall back on.

What he did at 30 years old is what I did when I was 19, I backpacked all around the world on $1.5k back then while making some dollars. Back then I didn't care if I had to go back home with nothing left, but this guy is actually 30. That's what I find so sad about this guy.

Sorry but this is ridicilous.

I don't know where you come up with that i'm owning the world. If you don't want to read my book, who cares.

You did all that at 19 ? well, let us know about it. Where can I order your book?

You have been a member for year yet you have posted only 56 posts and nothing of value. Nice big baller/high roller you are.

We are on the same page man. No need to battle. All i'm saying that in my opinion it has to be a clear choice in what you are doing.

It's not possible to have traveled like me while building a online income in IM or something similar. It's different when you relocate from country to country and live there for a while each time. I'm working on another plan.

Dude, you think everyone writes books about their travels and experiences?

I'm already busy enough making money, can't be writing books at the same time. Maybe some datasheets but that's it.

Exactly my point. You do your thing and i'm doing mine but don't attack me for following my dreams and writing a book about it.

You come out swinging but have yet to prove anything you're claiming.

PS - you keep spelling the word couches wrong. It's couches not coaches. I didn't even couchsurf at peoples houses btw.

I just looked at your other threads. Man, what a joke.

Help, I live next to a Playmate, what can a newbie like me do?
/thread-5157.html

Int. playboy on a budget where you claim to make 2k a month NOT 4 or 6K. No way you're hanging at the Hilton bar on that budget.
/thread-6189.html

Gaming the girl you're in a relationship with. Creepy post, no wonder no one replied to it.
/thread-5883.html

Post: #38

Dude, i'm not as creepy as you are. I'm not a bragging 30 years old backpacker going to hostels. I did that when I was 19
Also, i'm not here to build myself a reputation like you, maybe you don't have any in real life, that's why you come here to build a reputation.

Anyway, check my first post in this thread. I was spot on right.
Now you can go back to your 9 to 5 job and save money, maybe one day you can save enough money to travel again.
Also, learn the differences between backpacking and living abroad.

In this thread i'm asking for advice on where to live a good life on $60K a year. Are you blind?

If you describe your events the same way as you describe my question in that thread, then there has to be alot of bullshit in that book.

You can CLEARY see that I'm talking about 60,000$ a year in this thread 1 year ago.
The thread is about where I could live on $60k a year, not $2k a month, buy yourself some eyes...

Can you share what is that you do?

Dont be specific if you feel insecure sharing it witt us, but dont give a generic answer like "oh, I do some internet marketing" or "blogs with adwords"

Internet marketing is what I do.
This are my daily earnings, some days I make more, some days less

Yeah, he was funny. It was an implosion waiting to happen. He kept nagging about traveling on 1.5K as if it were a dirty sin and me claiming to own the world (!?). For me it's an average amount of money to spend when on a long trip. In some countries I spend around a 1000 dollar and in other i spend 2000 dollars a month. In Countries like Japan, Russia and Brazil I went over that budget too.

I think most long term travelers are on those kind of budgets. I think Roosh is traveling on a similar budget.

if your living NOT traveling abroad 1500 is more than enough. just avoid first world nations like western europe and japan. you can find rent cheaply by looking in local newspapers. it is possible to make a living teaching english but dont expect to make bank. i live abroad. most of my income is from rent(im a landlord in the us i pay a company a fee to manage by place) and through investments. teaching english is ok but the pay isnt good. expect 5 dollars an hr in mexico. however you can be your own boss so if you dont like a student or hate waking up early you can be in control of it. also it takes no skill to teach english all you are really doing is just speaking in native tongue.

the advantages are big so if you enjoy fucking latinas or asians or white girls with a russian accent suddenly you have found gold.
the disadvantages your family and some friends will not understand your lifestyle and why you would want to leave us or western europe.
