Creator's Key Takeaways

the goal of this lifestyle is to have it be sustainable and if you choose say just all those top key places you want to visit it may ruin your travels

Spain wasn't the best choice even for us at the time because Spain is some place who you want to do these excursions you want to see these really cool things

the very first thing that you absolutely have to do is you need to set that budget

make sure that you have a positive experience at first so that you want to keep doing it

Set a sustainable budget for your first year of travel
Evaluate your comfort levels for language, transportation, food, and accommodations
