Many people daydream about traveling the world, but all of them have the same excuse - lack of money. Tomislav, after traveling the world for years with almost no money, shows how it is possible for everyone to do the same, if they really want to.
Tomislav Perko, 29, is a travel writer from Croatia. After a career of a stockbroker, broke because of the financial crisis, he hits the road and turns it into his home. He uses alternative ways of traveling - hitchhiking, couchsurfing, working/volunteering, and manages to wander around the world with just a little bit of money in his pocket, meeting the most amazing people on the way.
Five years later, he publishes a book “1000 Days of Spring” and goes around giving lectures about what it means to live on the road. Find out more on his website: tomislavperko.com/en/.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Aaron Clay same I also am considering a gap year or perhaps come back during the fall, I'm a second quarter culinary arts student in community college and cried when I heard what the word break from college / gap year was and wished I found out about it when I was a senior in high school. I've thought of not being with people I'm around with but does it matter? You'll meet different people and you're going to be on your own. I want personal growth and happiness instead of being in school my whole life and am not very dedicated in changing myself to have better grades however I'll do my best and do it.. instead of saying.

Indeed. I want to go and do this, and it’s easy for many of us including myself to leave comments saying we will ‘now go out and try and explore the world’. But honestly how many of us will end up just forgetting about it or letting the easy route come to us instead and not bother at all, making all of our words hollow. I’m really scared that this will be the case for me. I’m trying to say yes a lot more than I used to, but when it comes to things that require a lot of money, longer working hours or possible language barriers, it really is easy to become demoralised and just let it sink into the back of your mind and continue on as usual, only for that feeling to repeat again a few weeks, months or years later. I only hope I can do even a little bit of this while I can. What will really happy, only time will tell for all of us.

Old person here.......who can in fact confirm this. And it's really depressing when it hits you that you had one life, one shot and you wasted it. Wasted it out of fear of what other's might think of you, of failing, of being wrong, of being alone or from letting others talk you out of it and the mistake of always thinking there will be more time. And it hits really hard when you see other people living the life that you could have.

@igorw94 3 роки тому
@@jxlim4613 It could be, but.. When I open my couchserfing page, I see that somebody wants to visit my city and I can help them with money, place and food. Just because they want to meet my culture and traditions. And actually you can feel some stress thinking about them. Imagining how travellers would have to speak foreigner language with somebody, how hard it could be to find place and maybe food. So you can help them. And it works in both ways if you want to go somewhere like this guy.

Just a small note. This is all wonderful and amazing, but as a woman most of those choices are a very real threat to safety... it's not even a matter of "you can do it if you are careful" because there is no way to calculate in advance what situation you will be in. Very happy for those who have the chance and priviledge to experience this. Be also mindful of more fragile people on your journey :)

@Jon-Jon-Jon-Jon
@Jon-Jon-Jon-Jon Рік тому
Hmm, yeah to a certain degree. It is risky and unpredictable for everyone though, it’s just a matter of weighing the risk against the possibility of adventure. No one can tell you exactly how dangerous it will be and it’s a very personal choice you have to make before you go on an adventure like this. But I don’t agree that you “can’t do this” as a woman, yeah maybe some things are more risky as a woman, but to be honest I wouldn’t sleep in a park as a man either. You can still find a way to have an adventure, where it’s worth the risk for you. My point is, being a woman is one factor of many in a very complex equation, if you wanna go on an adventure, just find something you’re comfortable with, if it means traveling with a friend, traveling a bit more expensively to sleep in hostels instead of on the street etc. there’s lots of ways to still have an adventure.

My name is Simon and I'm a 21 french guy. Two years ago I saw this video and I was hoping to travel like that, but after dreaming, I was back to my sad reality : studies that I always hated. I was always saying to me that I will be happy later, but now I have to make sacrifices. And also, I was not ready to quit everything to hit the road, I think I was not brave enough. But now my mind changed, i'm ready to stop my studies because i hate it, and I'm completely ready to quit everything to travel the world. I'm super motivated, and I'm gonna do it in 2022. Before my departure, I'm getting ready : in my mind, in my family's mind, and I want to save a bit of money for visas. And through my journey, I want to prove to the world that we actually can travel the world without ever flying.

In about 1984 when I lived in New Mexico I picked up a older couple from England who were hitchhiking around the world. They had already been across Canada and down the US West coast and throughout Mexico. He had his retirement pension sent to banks along their way. They were on their way back to Vancouver and were then flying to Fiji and Australia. I never heard from then again but they sure expanded my concepts of what is possible.

16:30 Really like the end of this talk when he talks about the not-so-rosy part of traveling long-term. Even if you keep on seeing all the wonders the world has to offer, it won't make you feel fulfilled all the time. You might find your happiness being mostly affected with the people around you, so it's good to invest in those relationships that matter to you:)

After 35 years of traveling, I can identify very well with coming home, and feeling that no one can identify with who you are or where you have been. I have never gotten used to trying to explain somewhere. I have been to, someone who has never been anywhere. The eyes glaze over and they just phase out. The only time that all changes is when I cross paths with another has traveled as I have done.

Tomislav is absolutely right about everything! Last Summer I spent 3 months cycling across all of Europe. It was such a joy, people were so awesome, I made good friends, and I have so many amazing stories. When I got home everyone was excited and for 2-3 weeks I told friends my stories, but pretty soon they get tired of your stories. When I travel I feel alive, I feel like a rock star. When I am home I feel like a everyday schmo. Just another face in the crowd. For me there was some post travel depression. I did NOT expect that at all! It was only when I began planning for my next adventure that I began to feel alive again. I learned a lot from my trip. I learned that I can live without a TON of stuff. Everyone is obsessed in US with getting more and more stuff. Screw stuff! Give me adventure and the open road!

When hitchhiking ; Recognize that , when a driver passes you he represents something. He represents a static moment , like any other you normally experience , a passerby on the street, in a shop exc. What you are waiting for , is a moment that belongs to you . When someone stops to give you a ride , you have what is yours once more. You need ideas like this , because it Is intimidating to face oncoming traffic. Especially in the middle of no where .

+Whipped Cream AJ Because you put yourself in an extremely vulnerable position. You're alone, standing by the side of a road and anyone can stop to give you a ride. It can be a nice woman, a father of three girls, or a creep. Someone who will drive to god knows where and force you into god knows what. That's not saying hitchhiking is never something women should do, but please acknowledge that it can be dangerous, and that you should be careful about whose car you get into. This also goes for men, by the way.

I am an Indian and even if i leave my job and convince my parents etc. It is nearly impossible for me to hitch hike without any money as the basic condition of a visa for Indian passport is proof of fund and accommodation. So we automatically loose the race before it is ever started. Sometimes i envy you guys as you can really see the world the way you want and despite of all the education and efforts we usually end up dead in our 9 to 5 jobs. Well mine is actually 8 to 5.

The last few minutes really hit me. About 5 years ago I built an e bike and went in a ~900 mile trip around the Pacific Northwest. It took about 3 weeks in total. Everywhere I went people were amazing and it really helped restore my faith in humanity as they say. But everyone also told me to be careful of others just like Tomislav said lol. Since that trip I have been yearning to go on another adventure. This year I moved across the country to a place I have never been and have no one nearby that I really know. It’s exciting but it’s not the same. Life on the road can be lonely but I’ve never felt more free. Personally I am working on option 3. Traveling with a solid base camp to return to 😁

In one year i will be able to take the leap. I can always come back to my dead end life. But the pain of sitting here watching the world go buy, and CHOOSING to live in depression has finally taken its toll on me. I haven't really lives since my 20s. And i can no longer abuse this gift of life i was given, Good luck to all of you. And remember. CHOICE is your most powerful weapon

D P I’m the same way. I can’t work a job and live in the same old town for the rest of my life. I’ve went through 6 jobs in the town I live in because as soon as I get a little bit of money saved I quit and go travel for a few weeks.

Late reply I know dude, but you are 100% . There is absolutely no point in Living a life where there is no progress . If you want to take a year out fromyour life get saving and pack a bag and go . The worst thing that can happen is you get a better perspective on life and what you want . You could live in a bubble forever and get no further. So yeah have you managed to get going???
