The intention behind this book is to empower you to go travelling no matter what your current circumstances are. It does not matter whether or not you’re broke, stuck in a dead end job or simply scared of taking the leap into the unknown – I want to give you the knowledge and tools you need in order to make your dreams become a reality and start travelling the world!
As we all know, growth and development happens whenever we step out of our comfort zone. If you want to grow bigger muscles, you have got to put a greater demand on them than they are used to. It’s the same with everything else – as long as the demand is the same, there’s no growth. In order to grow and evolve as human beings we need to challenge the status quo. When you put on that backpack and head out into the world, you are stepping out of your comfort zone, you are stepping out of the familiar and safe and you are stepping straight into the unknown. Travelling creates an ideal environment for personal development since it constantly puts you in situations you were not prepared for. Travelling cultivates a stronger sense of independence and confidence in you.
There is no school in the world that will ever do for you what travelling will. So what are you waiting for? No matter what I’ll tell you, you’ll still have to figure things out for yourself and you will make mistakes – but that’s all part of the journey, and each one is different. What I can do for you though, through this book, is to share with you some of the things I’ve learned along the way.
After travelling around for several years now, with no more than 7 kg in my backpack, sometimes less, I’ve got a ton of little tips and tricks that I want to share with you. This book is essentially a practical guide that will take you through everything you need to know about travelling. We’ll cover things like planning a trip, packing your bag and booking your tickets, as well as how to find and transport fruit, sleep in airports, make money while travelling or travel for free altogether. It’s a complete toolkit for the aspiring globetrotter! Let’s go!

How do you afford to travel so much?
This is one of the most common questions that I get from people, they just can’t seem to wrap their heads around how it’s possible to travel like we do without running out of money! The truth is that we do run out of money – all the time! The key is to find ways to make money while travelling and find ways to save money by making smart choices. It’s even possible to travel completely for free!
In this book I will explain some of the strategies that we’ve employed over the last few years, in order to always have enough of what we needed, regardless of what was in our bank accounts
The Art and Science of Travelling Light
Nothing destroys a trip more than having to carry around a huge backpack full of stuff that you really don’t need! In this book I will teach you the basics of lightweight backpacking. It’s not as difficult as you might think, and you’ll be surprised at how little you actually need to bring with you on a trip to the tropics.
In this book you will learn:
How to select the perfect backpack.
Why tropical travel means that you can travel lighter.
How to prepare for an ultralight backpacking trip to the tropics.
The 7 golden keys to tropical lightweight backpacking.
How to pack your backpack and what to actually bring.
Detailed packing list included!
What’s so good about the tropics?
Humans are tropical animals. Even though we have migrated to all corners of the earth, our body still prefers a very specific temperature range that is only possible to find (year round) in a tropical climate. Here’s some of the benefits of travelling to a tropical climate:
It’s never cold!
There’s plenty of sweet and fresh, tree ripened fruit around!
You’ll easily get enough Vitamin D.
The need for clothing is minimal, hence a lighter backpack.
Spending more time outdoors means breathing more fresh air, while enjoying sunshine and movement.
The day/night cycle is ideal for our circadian rhythm.
There’s fresh coconuts!
So, what do you say?
If you want something, you first have to set the intention. I trust that if you’ve made it this far, you definitely have the intention to go travelling in the near future! Great! The second step is always going to be: Take action! Now this is where a lot of people back out. That’s exactly why I want you to read this book! You can make this book your first step towards making your dreams come true. By reading this book you are already taking action towards your goal of travelling.
This book will not only educate you about the how of travelling, but it will give you the permission slip you need to follow your heart and do exactly what you want! Nothing can ever truly prepare you for what lies ahead when you head out into the unknown, but I hope that this book will at least give you the knowledge and inspiration necessary to take the first step!
