My Travel Story So Far...

I'm Dan Kleinow and welcome to Envision Adventure. I'm an independent traveler, aspiring filmmaker, photographer, online entrepreneur and world adventurer.

What started as a 1 month solo trip around Europe in May of 2017, has turned into 16 months of travel and becoming a full fledged nomad.

After moving to Puerto Rico to work at a hostel in June of 2017 on the island of Vieques, I fell in love with the "hostel life".

I've worked at three hostels since in Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Colorado and lived on 100 - 300 dollars a month for over a year.

Hostel life has, no doubt become a major part of my life and I wouldn't be where I'm at now without it.

After spending three and a half months this past summer in Colorado, working a regular job, I've realized it's just not for me.

I can't have someone "above me" telling me what to do and how to live my life. So, I quit... I saved some money and I'm back in San Juan, Puerto Rico, pursuing new ventures.

That's not to say I didn't take some value away from my time in Colorado. While there, I worked in a hostel and met some people who helped me realize what really mattered in my life and what I valued most.

Personal growth, mental well-being, physical health, finacial freedom, the ability travel when I want, where I want and not to mention, being surrounded by a group of highly motivated, likeminded indivduals. This is what I strive to create in my life.

This is a new direction I'm shifting my life towards. When before my goal was to travel on as little money as possible and stretch my budget as far as I could.

Now I'm trying to create a sustainable lifestyle out of this. 

I plan on writing more posts, talking about how I've traveled on a budget, discussing life living in hostels, sharing some of my travel stories and more.

My goal is to write one of these posts a week. Along with my videos that I post on my DTube and YouTube channels.
