New record for spending only 55 € a month

If you don't spend then you don't need to earn

There is many talks how our society is build around work, earning money for living and spending those money on different things but not so many talks how people can save and spend less.

One of the goals of my journey was to show that is really not a problem to travel for less money. That's why i counted very accurate my spending and put it on on my blog for make it public so that everyone could take a look how much a really spend.

While you traveling one way to spend less is to make some kind of volunteer work and there is many type of work you can choose between as farming, animal care, building houses, hotel maintenance, diving assistance or many other activity you might like. The principle is simple you spend some hours a day for helping and in return you get free living and food depends what was agreed with the place. For example I am teaching english language though my english is terrible but this is not a problem because the main point is that you want to help people to improve their english and in the same time you don't need to spend money. So it's perfect combination. I use workaway.info or couchsurfing.com but there is many other places where people are matched for different volunteer works.

So how can I live for 55 € per month?

Last months for exemple I spend 160 € from which 105 € went to make a tattoo but I did not counted cause this wasn't necessary to do. So 51 € I spend only for food and 4 € for public transport. Because I don't pay for living I don't have any other costs.

More over doing volunteer it is a great opportunity to learn from locals about the life, food and culture and to make new friends. 

Hope this guide will help you to dare to go out and travel and explore the world without being worried about money.
