Living a Good Life: Lessons from Travelling 50 Countries on $3,000
“Some of the guesthouses are closed due to the pandemic, so I had to pitch a tent along the road to stay a night.”
In this three-part episode, we are joined by Jeshua, a 28-year-old who travelled during the COVID-19 pandemic to over 50 countries, in a span of three years!
He navigated through the uncertainty of vaccinations and avoided quarantines & visa applications, all while he was working remotely and keeping costs low – with a total estimated spent of just US$3000.
Jeshua has always been a proponent of working remotely, and this travel-experience was simply an extension of his belief. In fact, he found it ‘abnormal’ to do what everyone else was doing. He shared: “The worse lesson we can pick up is that everything in life progresses in a sequence.”
Through his travels, he discovered that there are more ways to define success than by being rich, such as generosity and happiness. It is important how we view others in the community and look out for one another. “If we become so developed and neglect those around us, we have lost the plot!” This is indeed a good reminder on what living a meaningful life is all about – the people around us.
It has been a joy having Jeshua with us and we hope you find his story as inspiring as we did. The links for part 2 and part 3 can be found below.
