How To Have The Money To Travel Around The World

Day 16 of 30 Days Countdown to South America and Around the World

Before the introduction of money, bartering was the way of life. I'll give you a bag of salt, in return for a cow. In the beginning, men bartered with their neighbors and they eventually became adventurous and traveled far to barter for more exotic food and goods on foot or on horseback. Then, voyagers traveled from West to East for spices and a whole new world was discovered.

Cultures, languages and cuisines began to intermingle.

Today, you and I can travel to any continent in the world in less than 24 hours. Bartering system is still available but we can hardly make it far if we have no money. We need money to travel around the world long-term. Money is also needed for any type of leisure or vacation, either short-term or long-term. So the question that we're asked most often is “How to have the money to travel around the world long-term?”

Honestly, I don’t have all the answers for you. Many travel experts around the world have written this topic. Here are three recommended sites on this topic:

Most visitors only spend a few hours in San Marino Most visitors only spend a few hours in San Marino. I decided to stay overnight, and it completely changed the experience.

As the day-trippers left, the streets fell silent. The medieval castle took on a different charm in the warm evening light, the sunset over the surrounding countryside was unforgettable, and dinner was a delicious plate of fresh truffle pasta.

If you’re planning a trip through Italy, don’t just make San Marino a quick stop. Spend the night. You’ll experience a peaceful side of one of the world’s smallest countries that many visitors never get to see.

Would you stay overnight in San Marino?

Nature never stops surprising me. Have you ever seen a seed that can do this?

During our walking tour of Baku, we unexpectedly s During our walking tour of Baku, we unexpectedly stumbled upon a rehearsal of traditional Azerbaijani male dancers. Dressed in their striking chokha costumes and papakha hats, they practiced powerful, warrior-like movements rooted in centuries of Caucasian tradition.

It wasn’t a staged performance for tourists, just a beautiful, authentic glimpse into Azerbaijan’s living culture. These spontaneous moments are often the ones I remember most from my travels.

You haven’t truly experienced Malaysia until you’v You haven’t truly experienced Malaysia until you’ve had a glass of Teh Tarik. 🇲🇾

Known as “pulled tea,” this beloved Malaysian drink is made with strong black tea and sweetened condensed milk, then skillfully poured back and forth to create a smooth, creamy texture and its famous frothy top.

From mamak stalls to family gatherings, Teh Tarik is more than a drink, it’s a taste of Malaysia’s warmth, culture, and everyday life.

Have you tried Teh Tarik before, or would this be on your Malaysia food list? 👇🇲🇾
