5 Things You May Go Through When Traveling Without Money

Only people who are bitten by the wanderlust bug don’t consider budget an obstacle while travelling. They pack their bags and hit the road, following their intuition, fearless and free. They don’t care where they would live, nor do they care how they would reach their destination. They trust the road and have faith in their destiny. That’s how they reach the place they want to be at. Travelling without money is for the brave.

# Getting robbed

Even if you don’t have money, chances are, you have expensive gadgets on you. Apart from money, cameras, cellphones and other things can can attract bad attention.

# Longer Distances

If you think hitchhiking would take you 200-400km ahead, it’s not going to happen. So, be ready to stay at one place for a long time as hitchhiking is going to be your only way to travel.

# Ready to be Uncomfortable

It’s not going to be comfortable travel at all. “Each day you'll find yourself outside your comfort zone. Dirty bathrooms, bad food and weather that hates you (summer will be too hot, rains will be too wet, winter would be too cold); if that's not enough lemme tell you, you'll be spending most of the night with mosquitoes.

# You don’t get the benefits that a tourist might

You have nothing ‘planned’ since your plan is to take on every day as it comes. Since you don’t know where you would be staying or where you would be travelling, you don't have a proper itinerary like a tourist does.

# Rejection and adjustment

You would have to adjust with what you get. Be ready to face rejection as people would reject giving a lift to you; you would be shooed away from places; and people won't let you in for the night.
