One may ask, is it not expensive traveling to the other side of the planet.
There are many ways to travel, some expensive, some cheap.
Given a lack of assets sitting around, I have developed a method that is quite cheap.
The first step is getting one of the frequent flyer miles credit cards such as AA, United or the general one Sapphire.
On signing up for one of these card you automatically get 30,000 miles or more. And with a year's average expenses the airfare is almost free.
Once there, wonderful food averages me between $2.50 and $4.00 per day. And while hotel costs have dramatically increased over the last 15 years, my range is from $8 to a very high of $28. And these are not budget accommodations. One could go much cheaper if one was a bit more flexible.
I met one retired American fellow living in the small village of Jageshwar up in the Himalayas living in this wonderful home and living comfortably on $125 per month total expenses.
Moral of the story is you can get out and explore the world without spending much.
