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!*

![quit job to travel thelifeofjord.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTw5F3Cb93zMVdutwzymFrqCrsH8byyC6ZykBLgXrksg8/quit%20job%20to%20travel%20thelifeofjord.jpg)

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!

https://youtu.be/TKnuSqE7KmU 

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.

Hey! Thanks for sharing your story ! 
I didn't know someone could start traveling with 5000 pounds only in it's pocket. It's impressive. 
Will follow your journey !
