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:
