It has been ten and a half years since I took my first trip without my parents. In that decade I have learned a lot about the world, people, cultures, identities, food, wine, and maybe most importantly, myself.

How to Travel Without a Fortune, Part II
Read Part I Here. 3. Decided where you’re willing to stay. Or better, decide how you can stay. Hostels are great if you don’t mind sharing a room with numerous people, which can be noisy, hot, uncomfortable and busy. The best reason is that you have a kitchen to cook meals.
