Hi, and thanks for stopping by my blog!<\/p>\r\n

I\u2019m Nicola, from Treviso, born in 1992. I\u2019ve always been obsessed with saving money; many people would call me stingy, and over the years I\u2019ve even gotten worse, although from my point of view I\u2019d say I\u2019ve gotten better!<\/p>\r\n

It\u2019s certainly also thanks to this attitude that over the years I\u2019ve visited more than 40 countries on 4 different continents, all on a limited budget.<\/p>\r\n

How can I help my readers?<\/h3>\r\n

\u201cAren\u2019t you afraid to travel alone?\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cHow can you afford to travel for so long?\u201d<\/p>\r\n

These are probably the most common questions I\u2019ve been asked in recent years. To the first one I answer: yes, I was afraid, but not anymore.<\/p>\r\n

That fear turns into excitement every time I\u2019m about to leave. To the second question, on the other hand, I answer that with the right discipline and adaptability you can travel for a long time without spending a fortune.<\/p>\r\n

In this blog I\u2019ll try to share the tricks of the \u201ctrade\u201d and to inspire and help my readers, with practical advice, to travel in an adventurous, cheap and independent way.<\/p>\r\n

I firmly believe that to make a trip memorable you don\u2019t need to sleep in a luxury hotel or fly first class. What truly makes it memorable are the people you meet along the way and the experiences you live.<\/p>\r\n

This blog is for all those travelers, or aspiring travelers, who are looking for inspiration, practical advice and support. If you\u2019re the typical suitcase traveler who likes to be waited on hand and foot, you\u2019ve probably ended up in the wrong place. But remember, it\u2019s never too late to start traveling for real.<\/p>\r\n

For many, the idea of traveling the world, even for just a couple of months, will remain a lifelong dream. But the fact that you\u2019re reading this post already puts you on the right track. I hope you can find inspiration and the right tips to start a trip you\u2019ll remember forever.<\/p>\r\n

Remember that twenty years from now you\u2019ll be more disappointed by the things you didn\u2019t do than by the ones you did, so \u2013 please \u2013 at least once in your life, try this wonderful feeling of freedom.<\/p>\r\n

Stop putting off the trip or the experience abroad you\u2019ve always dreamed of until next month or next year: the \u201cright\u201d moment you\u2019re waiting for will never come.<\/p>\r\n
