World travel is cheap and easy. In fact, with a little practice and effort, you can travel the world for free.
1. Embrace the Simple Joy of Travel
Travel frees you from the grind of daily routine. You will explore new places, meet new people, try new foods and learn things about the world — and yourself — that you never imagined were possible. The joy of new experience is the most wonderful thing about travel — and new experiences are free. Walk the streets of a city. Stop and chat with a local. People watch in a public park. Climb to the top of a hill and watch the sun set over the ocean.
2.Keep Your Needs To A Minimum
People need fresh air, healthy food, clean water, exercise, creative stimulation, companionship, self-esteem and a safe place to sleep.

All of these things are simple to obtain. Most of them are free. For fresh air, go outside. For exercise, take a walk. For creative stimulation, go somewhere new. For companionship, make a friend. For self-esteem, turn off your TV, breathe deep and open your spirit to the basic goodness of the world.
Things like food and shelter are much cheaper once you get outside the United States. See 5 below for ways to obtain food and shelter for free.
3. Go Slow
