Quit My Job To Travel The World (1 Second A Day) - Life Through My Lens #2
Each week I'll be sharing one of my favourite videos from my travels so far!
This was one of the first videos I made and I filmed it over 9 months. I took a few seconds of footage from each day while I was travelling and put it all together to create this video!
It started to go a bit viral and kickstarted my YouTube career, which has led me on the path I'm on now. I received a lot of questions about how I could afford all this traveling, so I made this FAQ:
How much did you save?
After selling all my stuff, and paying off my overdraft and credit cards, I had roughly £5000 ($9000US). This isn’t a massive amount of money to travel on for a year, but if you budget right then it’s still more than enough.
What was your budget?
On average I spent 20-25 USD a day. This worked out as more in certain places (e.g. Europe, Dubai) and less in others (e.g. India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Indonesia). I stayed in hostels and dorms everywhere to keep the costs down and ate mostly local street food or cooked myself. I didn’t do any organized tours and prioritized the tourist attractions I wanted to pay for. I travelled slowly and learned to barter – everything is negotiable.
What countries did you visit?
The countries I went to in the past year, in order, are: Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, UAE, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. I’ve been traveling ever since.
What did you edit with and what were the cameras?
I used Premiere Pro CC to edit the video and it was all filmed on a GoPro 3 Black and Sony Handycam.
Thanks for watching, let me know what you think below!

I didn't know someone could start traveling with 5000 pounds only in it's pocket. It's impressive.

STOPI've love to do something similar someday, but not quite so ambitious. I'm content with the odd trip here and there each month.
