I’m looking for a way to enter cuba from either the usa or northern mexico via boat.
I would like to work my way there as well as be able to come back to the usa before burning man starts in nevada summer of 2011. I’m heading towards louisanna for about 5 months or less maybe more if things don’t show. Possibly travel by train hopping to nevada late summer if nothing comes up for cuba

Great article. You can def. sell your experiences on your resume, you just have to be confident about it and not apologetic! Your travel experiences can equate to the working world.

I lived in Vietnam for the last year made under $20000 working and lived like a QUEEN! Plus saved money to travel to Mongolia and Nepal. It was a super place to hide out during the down economy. Now I”m back on the road – I housesit for places to stay and my expenses are only for insurance and cell phone…it’s really a simple life! If you can live without structure and STUFF, then it’s a great way to see the world!

During our visits to Europe we slept 968 nights, in 452 different places in 396 towns & cities, in 32 countries.

Can you imagine finding an European hotel room 600 times, and finding a couple of thousand restaurants to replace the bedtimes and mealtimes we have enjoyed in our RV in 968 days and nights, during 9 trips from 1970 to 1995? We did spend 23 nights in a hotel, over 300 nights with Sweetie’s Cousins, and a few nights on cruise ships and ferry boats.

Absolutely! We are a family living large on little & traveling the globe on an open ended world tour since 2006! 4 continents, 30 countries, over 150,000 miles (most overland) & over 3 million views on our soultravelers3 youtube videos so far & still having a ball on less than 25K a year total for our entire family!

It also has been the best possible education for our child which was one of our primary motivations!

Here is a link filled post that I did on how to do extended travel:

I have also been very active on bootsnall forums for the last 4 years, so have left lots of information there for those looking for it.

My passion is to let people & particularly families that this is easier, cheaper & more enriching than most know!

Great article! I’ve been living in Thailand for about 10 months now, enjoying the local standard of living, and I’m happy to say it has opened up a lot of time and opportunity for me to invest in personal pursuits as well as giving back through charity fundraising and volunteering.

I’ve been feeling guilty about wanting to travel the world after I graduate college this May. This article just made me feel a whole lot better. If I can save up the cash, I’d like to even travel longer than a month. I’m strategizing on how to do that, and this article helped alot! Thanks!!!
