HeyHey folks, I'm Tom from Croatia, and for the last couple of years,the world has been my home. I voyaged, I drifted in autos, trucks, steeds, motorcycles,boats. I drove in transports, trains, rickshaws. I worked a wide range of occupations, invested energy with locals,I volunteered, and turned into a friar - simply joking. I cruised over the Indian Ocean, I attempted things that I never attempted. I've seen things that I will recollect the length of I live. and all that with no cash. (Applause)That's essentially it really, much thanks. (Laughter)Most of the general population when they see this video, they respond with,"Wow! I wish I could travel that way. "The thing is, the greater part of us really can. Before I began travelling,as Andrew stated, I was a stockbroker, working 9-5, had a great deal of cash. and afterward the crash came 2008, I lost my occupation, I lost the money,and I lost the importance.
Around then, I found a site called Couchsurfing. I don't know what number of you all caught wind of Couchsurfing?Ok, what number of you haven't found out about Couchsurfing?Ok, for you folks, it's a web site that enables you to have travellersin your own home, and in the meantime it enables you to stayin other individuals' homes while you're voyaging yourself. When I was facilitating individuals in my loft, more than 150 of them, by listeningto their stories, and seeing the start in their eyes, my idea was,"wow! I wish I could travel that way. "In any case, I was anxious. The world is an extremely perilous place, in any event accordingto the media, our instruction, our family church, et cetera. I feared leaving my solace zone,and going, independent from anyone else, into the obscure world. I was likewise perplexed of not having any cash, and afterward the general population that I hostedin my condo disclosed to me two stunning things.
As a matter of first importance, you don't need to be overcome to travel, you simply need to havea tiny bit of fearlessness to begin, to take off. Furthermore, the other thing they let me know is that you don't need to be rich to travel. Really, all costs while you're voyaging fall into three noteworthy categories:first is transportation, to get from indicate A point B,the other one is settlement, and the latter is everything else,food, beverages et cetera. What's more, they let me know whether you limit those three costs to some minimum,it can really be less expensive to go than live in your own particular city. I tuned in to them, and for the following five years,I've been going around the world,with no cash. What's more, this is the manner by which I did it: first thing.
I bummed a ride. Aside from being free, aside from being truly fast,it permitted me one stunning thing, to have an adventurebetween point An and point B. Presently what number of you all have ever drifted before?Ok, a considerable amount of you, why, what's happening with you? (Laughter)I'm going to play you a short video called "Drifting Guide",just to disclose to you a couple of unwritten principles about hitchhiking,and some of my encounters. (music playing in background)(laughter)(laughter)(sobbing)(car honks)(applause)Thank you. There are different contrasting options to transportation. One of them is strolling, you all recognize what that is. . . What number of you folks know? (Laughter)So, you simply take your knapsack and hit the street. Another way is cycling; it's not possibly totally free,because you need to purchase the bike, and in the long run settle it,but it's considerably less expensive than the ordinary methodsof transportation. What's more, the last one is really working in return for transportation.
I did this when I was cruising over the Indian Ocean from Australia to Africa. Also, I didn't need to pay for the ride, I simply expected to do some work on the boat,like some night watches, "cooking" and stuff that way. When it came to settlement, more often than not I utilized Couchsurfing,because I had a great deal of understanding, had a considerable measure these positive referenceson the site et cetera. What I like about Couchsurfing the most is not just on the grounds that it's free,it enables you to have an alternate perspectiveof the goal. You're not bound to remain in your lodging room or take the traveler visits. You simply hang out with your host he takes you on placesthat you would presumably never visit without anyone else's input. Be that as it may, likewise there some different choices; one of them is camping,you have your tents, you can rest wherever you need. In the enormous urban communities I more often than not rested in parks simply have my dozing sack and my sleeping pad. The last one with regards to convenience is volunteering. There are a great deal of chances all around the globe that offer you to workin trade for convenience, some of the time even nourishment.
So you get the opportunity to rest in wonderful rooms this way. With regards to the various costs, one of them is food,in rich urban communities and rich countriesI for the most part purchase nourishment in stores, which is the least expensive way,and simply eat in the city. You can likewise cook with your host, which can be an entirely one of a kind affair. (Giggling) To state the leastThese are Germans really. (Laughter)Sorry, it was entirely delightful without a doubt and one of the least expensive. Something else is dumpster jumping; perhaps more than 40-half of the foodthat is being delivered is being tossed away,and many people have an issue with that, so they go to grocery store binsafter the end hours, and simply take all the foodthat is not going to be sold the following day. With regards to beverages, alcohol you know, the standard ty to keep away from bars, restaurantsand to drink in parks. This is the manner by which you can travel ridiculously efficiently however one other thing when it comesto voyaging is that you can gain cash while voyaging. How? I did it two or three times.
One of them is busking, playing the guitar in the city. I'm not an artist. I know like presumably four or five harmonies, and four songs,so it resembles rehash all, you know. Individuals are cruising by, so they don't generally know. (Laughter)The most vital thing is to have a story. I generally had my little cardboard, which I composed, really another person wrotein the nearby dialect, where I'm from, what I'm doing there, what's my story. I imagine that is the reason individuals gave a smidgen of cash, some sandwiches,sodas, et cetera. You won't gain a considerable measure of cash by doing this however it can get youthrough the day. One other route is to keep in touch with; you can compose a blog,open up a Facebook page. Before long, you can possibly compose a book, et cetera. Be that as it may, what brought me biggest measure of cash is really going to Australia. This is an occupation I worked in Australia, I call it "proficient movement diverter",it's a hard employment as should be obvious, you tell people,"Please go along these lines and not this way"I mean, on the off chance that they are visually impaired you know. (Laughter)So for this, I was getting paid twenty dollars 60 minutes. (swarm gasping)I'm sorry, I know you detest me, what not. (Laughter)Oh, well. Besides, I had nourishment and settlement included. I know, I know. Really, one data, this was on my around the globe trip,it took me thirteen days of working at this job,to pay off eight months of going from Croatia through the whole Asia,reaching Australia.
So thirteen days of work, in return for eight months of voyaging. In this way, what have I learned on all these trips?Have I found the importance of life et cetera. That is the thing that my mother asked me?Like "Gracious, you know we were truly frightened for every one of these years, yet was it worth it?"and my answer is dependably "certainly yes". I've taken in a considerable measure of things, a large portion of them are much the same as some individual nature thingsso I won't discuss that, however I likewise adapted some broad organic products. so to speakI learned not to trust media, and all their "repulsiveness stories". I discovered that we ought to protect our earth, similar to it's the just a single we have,and the just a single with chocolate right?I figured out how to tear down my partialities, that was presumably one of the mostimportant things. I discovered that every one of the general population around the world,no matter the amount we attempt to call attention to the differencesbetween the way of life, races, religions, as on,we're all quite the same. I have a short anecdote about these preferences that I experienced while I was voyaging.
When I was leaving Croatia, heading on my around the globe trip,everybody was letting me know, "Be cautious, it's extremely dangerous,you know will catch a ride, going to rest in other individuals' homesand stuff that way. "In Croatia, it's still alright to travel, however when you cross the border,and go into Serbia. . . you recognize what Serbians resemble. Be exceptionally watchful, some individual may murder you. Also, I'm similar to "alright, thank you forthe cautioning" and I cross the fringe go into Serbia,amazing enterprises, astounding individuals I met, individuals lifting me up, taking me outsleeping in their homes, outrageously astonishing encounters. I was leaving Serbia, making a beeline for Bulgaria, and I was driving with a driver,and disclosing to him that story, similar to how Croatians were cautioning meabout Serbians. What's more, he resembles, "Ah sibling, you realize that is finished nonsense,Croatians and Serbians, we are all siblings. Be that as it may, Bulgarians, when you cross the fringe, go into Bulgaria. . . you recognize what Bulgarians resemble; a heaps of wanderers, man, you know.
Be exceptionally cautious, some person may murder you. " (Laughter)Entering Bulgaria, a similar story once more. Stunning encounters, individuals just greatly inviting. At that point I was driving with one truck driver, going towards Turkey and I was recounting himthe same story how Croatians cautioned me about Serbians,Serbians about Bulgarians. Also, he resembled, "Gracious sibling, that is finished nonsense,Croatians, Serbians, Bulgarians. . . we are all Balkan brothers!But Turkish individuals, goodness my God! You comprehend what Turkish individuals resemble. Exceptionally risky, some person may execute you. "Turkish individuals cautioned me about Kurdish people,Kurdish individuals about Iranis,Iranis about Pakistanis, Pakistanis about Indians,Indians didn't caution me about anybody, I don't know,it resembles the last boondocks, or something. Beats me, however better believe it, it wasn't just a travel lesson, yet perhaps an existence lessonlike not to trust all these ghastliness stories that individuals were telling. What's more, one additionally intriguing thing.
