Description
People often ask me how I afford to travel so much. The truth is... I can't so I improvise. I'll drive instead of fly (even if it is on the other side of the country), I'll eat PB&J sandwiches, granola bars, fruit and just drink water for a couple weeks.. only occasionally getting a restaurant meal. I'll stay in the cheapest motels, pitch a tent or car camp (sometimes in below freezing temperatures). I'll lug around all my gear and wear the same clothes a few days in a row to save space and reduce weight. It is not a glamorous lifestyle like my pictures make it seem. It is the most humbling and rewarding experience when I rough it for a few weeks then return back to what most of us take for granted... I am that Backpacker and I will continue exploring until I can't walk anymore! Photo taken at Acadia National Park, Maine. Watermark not on any products.
