As an ecuadorian I can get a lunch for 1.5 USD; and if I look harder I can get a pretty nice meal for just 1 USD. >An average lunch in Ecuador costs USD 2.5
You’re not even trying.
As an ecuadorian I can get a lunch for 1.5 USD; and if I look harder I can get a pretty nice meal for just 1 USD.

While we may recommend people to travel in cheap destinations, like India... we're obviously not going to tell you that! ;) If the plan is to travel long term, the best idea is always to depart with some savings (for safety), but to mainly make money on the go. As you may know, we work online. We couldn't keep up for this long on savings alone - just like most people our age, I guess. People work in all sorts of things to pay for travel. We work online, to have maximum flexibility. But other travelers rather stop in a given place for a few months, work, save up and then keep on traveling.

I'm planning to travel next summer and I was wondering, since it will be my first time backpacking and travelling alone, what should I bring with me? Is there any essential items that I should carry with me? And most importantly, how do I plan my travel well without any glitches? :) Dear A&Z,

A student loan or any other debt makes things a little more complicated, but one can always work around it, I suppose. You can either save enough money to keep on paying while you travel or travel and work at the same time. A lot of people do this, actually! You can either work online (depending on what you do, you might be able to work location independently) or mix travels + work, stopping by every now and then to work, save moew money to keep you going and also pay the bills. This, I mean, if you plan on traveling long-term. Otherwise, considering shorter trips, it's all much more doable. Just set your priorities straight and save money for the things you love, instead of little luxuries on your daily life, that all together do tend to amount to quite a lot! All the best! :) Hi Janet!

There's no way I can not pay that monthly bill and deferring it will only add more interest. I've already started doing everything else to save. Thanks!
