In 2014 I quit my job and sold my stuff to travel the world. Since then I have been filming one second every day to create this video.
When I began making this video I had already planned to use One Day (Wankelmut Remix) as the backing music. Then it just so happened that Wankelmut was playing in Perth! (where I am now). Not one to miss an opportunity, I messaged him and he told me to come down and film the final scene. What a guy!
Unfortunately I had my camera stolen after 8 months and so I lost a lot of footage. I've tried to piece together what I had to create this video, but there were a lot more awesome clips that aren't even on here!
Travel has changed my life and I have no plans on stopping any time soon.
That's why this year, starting October 1st, I will be creating a daily video blog showing you how I travel the World on a budget.
No glitz. No glamour. Just a man and his backpack.

Here are the answers to some of your questions:
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.
How has this trip changed you?
One of the ways in which this trip has changed my outlook is that I want to lead a location independent life, at least for the next few years. This means I just want to continue traveling the World, working off my laptop and picking up extra money where I can. What I really want to do is show people first-hand how possible it is to travel the world on a budget. Before you do it, it seems like an impossible task and often people don’t believe that it is viable on a budget of 20-25USD a day. That’s what I want to make my life about and use my channel for.
Hopefully with your support, I can make that a reality.
Any more questions, please post them below and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can!
#Travel #TravelVlog #TravelContinuously
For those of you asking what I did after this or saying that you can't do this unless you're rich, please check out the rest of my channel. Since this video was posted I've continued to travel full-time while working online and have now been to about 53 countries, showing you how you can too!

Nikunj Majithia what? he said he is working online he quit a job but still earns money
Curiosity well his choice least he is working
TheLifeOfJord I'm happy for you. my escape was joining the military.
Dude I think we were in Hampi about the same time
@I am Batman for some people joining the military is worth it. It's either a love or hate thing. as far as traveling goes... Yea you'll travel depending on the branch.... but there's alot of restrictions.. you're on a leash. I've seen some places including Rio Peru Chile Florida san Diego and Virginia but I wouldn't say that I enjoyed them as much as I would ve liked to because I was tied to the military with curfews in foreign countries and what not. but the military is what you make it tbh.
so thats what happiness looks like
This is cool. I did the same thing, only i did it with a piano and made music to fund my travels.
+Piano Around the World Thank you brother, your channel is incredible. I'd love to meet up somewhere along the way!
+TheLifeOfJord how much money did you save before doing this?
hey weren't you in humboldt?
Piano Around the World we just quit our jobs too like 3 weeks ago to travel around the world !!! We are filming every day of our trip ! 👍
Beer For Breakfast how much money do you have to spend on traveling ?
This inspires me to live out of a backpack. Sometimes I get fed up with STUFF. It would be a dream to try and live STUFF-free, travel the world, and help the people I come across if they need help.
Just do it. Now. Right now
+Taarush Vemulapalli I'm too afraid.
+couscousandhumus see if you are afraid of the trip , places to visit , money then the Internet is your place. Research online. Plan every detail. Now if you're afraid of leaving your comfort zone then let me tell you one thing . Life is too freaking short. One day you will die. It might be eternal darkness and silence or something beyond our knowledge. All the things you've achieved , all your fears , embarrassments will be gone. Nobody (maybe till a decade) will remember you. You will just be someone out of the billions of people who lived on this planet. Now what do u have to do? Just live your life. Travel makes you happy then Just DO IT!!!!! This might be a life changing adventure. If u let this pass one day in your 70's you will be thinking that I had every opportunity to travel . But fear stopped me. You'll feel BAD . very bad. You don't want to have regrets because it may suck u till death. Just do it. Quit whatever you are doing and plan from now. Just experience life.
+couscousandhumus and life is too short to keep playing this game. My grandpa before his death told me the same. He sail at the end you regret the chances you didn't take rather then the choices you make. Just keep doing what u love. Peace 😀
+taarush v very true. life is short.. that's why i be in Indonesia for 8 days on a budget holidays next week. alone. i am planning for an autumn solo trip in europe for a month ( plus) this year. didn't cover europe much when i was on a group trip with my friends way back when and heck i'll be in my 50 in June.. LOL.. people always associated travel with a nice hotel with nice room and service.. honey, that's what the TV and ads tells you.. it's expensive if you listen to them.. Do on your own.. but do lot of homework on where you want to go and heading.. don't just pack and leave.
Goals in life:
-Get rich
-Travel everywhere in the world :'^)
+ignis you don´t even need much money
+Abraham Jacobson
I figured that out, but ty for letting me know
Want the TEDX of how to travel the world without much money. Than you will talk differently.
yea you do bud, unfortunately everything you see in this video cost money lol
You don't have to get rich although it would help haha! We saved for ages for our first trip! It would be amazing to be able to just pack up and catch a flight whenever we fancied it.
One suggestion. Put the location as annotation on the video. Thanks :)
Explore Asia's most beautiful paradise islands @ tooplanet.wordpress.com/2015/12/01/explore-asias-most-beautiful-paradise-islands/
+Akeeyuki He should've put the locations on the actual video! Like I did ;)
I just recently quit my tech job in San Francisco to travel the world :)!! Starting a UA-cam channel and this video has inspired me so much! Thanks Jordan!
wow you did it
Then I gotta check out your channel cause I wanna travel the world yet I'm only 14 just seeing others do things I wanna try besides the beautiful views
Congratulations You achieved your goals
rather live a short loved life than a miserable long life
Alan Watts?
I bet the real reason you did this was that you got a early access to Pokémon GO and wanted to catch them all
Isak Augestad Holly shit back on the time where people were playing Pokemon
pokemon go was released in 2016, but this video is from 2015
YOU AND EDGARS Thats why he said early access
BeBlue 5 million active players buddy
Jake Plays ikr, it's only been a year that the game has been out. People need not to look at it like a trend, but a game.
- One day we will be old, like the song says. So true. So important to travel and live the life that we want to live while we are still alive.
Firstly, this was an excellent video and I thank you for creating such a fine piece of art.
Secondly, while watching this, it made me slightly sad, not because of the content, but because all I am doing is sitting at a deck in front of a screen whereas you are out living life and experiencing many different cultures. I am still in school (second last year), and want to teach English in South Korea, where I am originally from. After watching this video, I think after I do this I will go on a journey very similar to the one you did.
I think this journey you took is not just good for the enjoyment, but also helps fulfill your life, as well as really finding your purpose in life.
I cannot thank you enough for making this masterpiece, and I am hopping off the computer straight away and writing down a list of countries I would like to visit :)
There is only one culture, Islam.
All other ways of life and thinking prove false in the light and purity of Islamic teachings. Do not seek fame or internet accolades as this man has. Seek Allah and his prophet Muhammad PBUH .
Declare your shahada and find peace in the beauty of Islam.
One day baby I will travel, the whole world just like you! You nailed it my friend. I always knew I wanted to travel but you my friend had reignited that feeling and that song ooh gosh, I wanna travel before I get old.
Aftab Alam +yes bro,same here, i also want to explore the whole world in my younger age😊
Aftab Alam I only want to travel to specific countries. There are some places that I just don't like or aren't just safe enough.
Go get lost in a strange country
can you show me how to travel outta bronze elo hell? gg
Git Carried
get gud
LUL
is that u daddy
fucking hanzo main
Watching this 6-7 ish years later when this first gave me the inspiration to travel, brings back such nostalgia and the wanderlust in me. Even after many multiple months long trips all over the world. Now with real careers and lives I cant really leave. It makes me want to drop everything and do it all again. Thanks for your inspiration over the years!
I hope now you’re doing the dream you always wanted mate. Sending love from who has the same dreams as you ❤
This is what I want to do with my life! I know I have to work hard but I'm determined to do it as long as I can travel the world! I'm still 13 and I go to school but this is my dream. I never liked learning about stuff from the textbook and let them tell us everything in school and I never liked how life is just work and death! I want to learn from my own experiences and tell great stories! I WANT TO LIVE!!
I love it! I quit my job to be a full time entrepreneur 4 years ago and chase my dreams traveling around the world and owning my own life instead of working for someone else building their dream. Best decision I ever made, I have nothing but respect for what you are doing bro. Life is too short to waste it doing things you don't love! #onelove
+Joey Wilson Preach! completely agree
Sounds like a good idea to me.
Only i wanna cycle from the UK - Singapore.. who's game?
Nice one Ben. I made a route using Tripline.net
What did you use to make yours? and are you planning to do the journey?
Zeus Canine omg im from singapore
do you plan to take airplane rides? because singapore's an island...
the thing is: yes Singapore is an island. but you can go there by a bridge but this one is only for cars. you gotta take a ferry ore you take the risk
and the thing with Euro Tunnel is difficult
i really want to traveling but my problem is i haven't find the right friends yet :(
i prefer travelling by myself because in reality you have friends everywhere you travel, just travel and meet them
LoL i feel bad for you
Same omg lol
+Ppp Xxx actually, im still in highschool. My parents give me monthly pocket money. Soo if i want something without ask them for money (except my monthly pocketmoney) i can bring my own food so i didnt buy anyfood on canteen. Soo in that way i can save my money easilyy (sorry for my bad english)
Buba bob fuck friends mate, if you want to just go, won't regret it mate :)
"One day baby we'll be old ohh baby we'll be old and think about the storys that we could have told..." :}
LivAr that’s what scares me the most
Genius idea for a video. You had to make at least every day interesting for one second, that's more than most people can say ahaha. I subscribed.
👌🏻
Happy Birthday
I hate my job
Pablo Escobar than quit and live your life they way you want to
Pablo Escobar unless you have kids or some kind of responsibility then don't quit lmao
Pablo Escobar aren't you a drug dealer?
Brady Frasure true
You’re the supreme dictator of North Korea, stop being so selfish
Its funny because your name means Earth in Norwegian xD
Kjempe artig!
UnchartedxRelic meeeget artig
UnchartedxRelic same in swedish, But it also means dirt or soil in swedish too. (Jag tror att det är det samma på Norska.)
May I add, in danish to ahah
Haha, in Swedish it means earth too, but also soil.
This is fucken awesome 👍 that's living mate
Humankind has it all backwards these days, all we do is go to work make someone els wealthy just so we can give our wages away to the government and other money grabbers , I'll be doing this soon 👌
Go for it...
Anthony Leach While that may be true to some degree, it's also very difficult and challenging to break free of that. The world is not really set up to allow it.
Anything and everything you want to do in life requires money. No one can just head off and live in complete isolation and independence. You'll need people for something at some point, whether it's for dental care or clothes or food or a million other things.
We've travelled in 5 countries in the last 6 months and it's a lot easier than you think! Send us a message and if you need to know how we're doing and how much we had I'll let you know :) and how we're sustaining (keeping on top of) our budget!
you can take DMT and travel through dimension
Couple Abroad tell me how to do it
I would also really like to quit job and travel. The only problem is that I don't have a job to quit.
I love that moment when you are singing along to your backing track ! Inspiring :)
Great Stuff Jord! I can't wait to travel the world also. Looking forward to more videos my friend!
Lovely! It's easy to give up but we often forget that the first step is the hardest. Venture into the unknown and you'll go far beyond what you ever imagined was possible!
love this man hope your still traveling! im going to subb and check out the rest of your videos i started traveling 4 months ago and wow the amazing things you learn is unforgettable!
this is honestly one of my favorite videos on the internet
Nice! Wish I made enough money to be able to do that
bigbad123321 you can do it very cheaply... maybe not dubai but if you're willing to take risks, hitchhike, do odd jobs and sometimes live rough then it can be done without much money at all
Michael Lang Some of us find the idea of doing it that way, without any security, quite terrifying.
peacefuljeffrey yeah that's fair enough
If you are fat then you can not spend money on food at all,just water fast for month.
twoja stara you do realise water fasting doesn't mean having nothing but water right? surely you're not stupid enough to think that only drinking water for a month with no food is impossible
Im still in Highschool and I had just gotten back 3 days ago from Beijing, China. I'm still beginning, in March I'm going to Europe! I can't wait and I want to do all of the travelling I can before I graduate! ❤️
Did you travel alone?
+Nikola Tesla I travelled with a friend for most of the journey (he's in a lot of the video) and some of it alone. Now I am travelling alone.
TheLifeOfJord still travelling?
The legends says to this day he is still travelling...
Glad others are doing the same. I quit my job on my 25th birthday and bought a one-way ticket to South East Asia. I've been traveling since!
Hey bro do you make your research before visiting any countries? How do you make your research in different languages?
funny thing is, that when you find beauty in every detail, you dont have to travel anymore to be happy. Choose where you want to be. Thank you for you great footage.
this is my dream to be a global traveler we should do this one day i am saving money for it
soon i will be making money as i travel
While a lot of them weren't one second per day, still a great video. Kudos for doing something so courageous.
My dream is to sell everything I have, quit my stressful job and just travel the word the rest of my life.
Thank you for this "window to the world". I showed your video to my class, and they were so motivated. Greetings from Chile.
One does not simply quit his job to travel the world. Because money and shit.
lucabrito well, if you want to it's fullt posseble to make it happen, i'm 18, worked as hell for 3 months during sommer, went to Australia get a job enjoying the visa etc and plans and oppertunities from there is massive, just keep traveling, work a little bit somewhere else, go another place etc, oppertunities is many. so if you want to you can find a way to make it happen.
Just a UA-cam You make it sound like a person can just show up somewhere and "get a job," earn some money, and continue on. What does one do if he shows up somewhere, needs money, can't get a job, and has nothing?
It's a risk offcourse, though that would be the same problem as being home and not getting a job. If anything you can go to countries wich is more travelers friendly and you would have a bigger chance of getting a job.
It is much easier then you would think.
@peacefuljeffrey Some people are just the type of person who can show up somewhere, get a job, a flat, and a girlfriend on the spot.
Amazing and inspiring.....quitting my job in March to do the same thing. Thanks for sharing!!!
Where was 2:22 taken?? I live in India and I want to go there *_*
+ashmit kolli Its the Ella Gap in Sri Lanka
how much did you spend?
norris cole in sri lanka?
This is so inspiring for me. I'm always dreaming of the day I can quit my job and do the same as you and this is only enhancing my wanderlust. Thank you and keep up the good work!
How were u able to quit your job and go out of the country. U must of had money saved up
+Troyce Douglas | You actually don't need much money. Most hostels let you stay for free in exchange for some hours of cleaning or whatever. (Almost always includes food, water, etc). Travel can be fairly cheap depending on where you go, southeast asia is very cheap. You can *buy* a cheap simplistic motorcycle for under $200 and travel around with that. The only real expense is restaurants, provisions and the plane ticket to wherever you want to go. You can always sail too, XD. Travel isn't about money, it's about finding a way to make it nearly costless.
gandalf Seems easier said than done. Me, I get skittish about the idea of not being sure about things, so I would be very nervous going somewhere and hoping they'll let me work for my stay.
Experience buddy, experience. At first IT IS easier said than done, but once you start experiencing it for yourself you'll gain a lot of knowledge in a lot of stuff and you would be amazed how much you can improve from that
the thumbnail photo is of poonhill, and its amazing, id highly recommend it to anyone travelling to nepal, its absolutely mind blowing
Goalsss! I am currently in China and traveling around here.. I post every week if anyone is interested in Asia travel vlogs ;)
+ElenorVlogs I AM LIVE IN INDIA I WANT TO TRAVELL THE WORLD BUT I DON'T HAVE TRAVELLING GROUP CAN YOU HELP ME???? PLS REPLAY ME

i love to join such a travelling budy
Love how this is literally a guy, his camera and the world. Not fancy camera work or trying to make it look like something it's not. I WANNA TRAVEL THE WORLD
How did you get so much of money to fly all over the world?
eman amin cheap flights, loop holes, not spending unnecessary money, not going to major towns that make you spend money unnecessarily
I started to cry when you were sky diving. That's the ultimate look of happiness and being alive ❤
good job, now get back to work.
Awesome! Thanks for the getaway video and the comments and answers bellow! Safe coming trip xx
This trip looked 80% Indian
And he didn't travel the whole world and he most definitely can not do it with £5000
Oh man I have no words for this.. this really gave me the chills. Thanks for this Edit!
How are you allowed to use licensed music ?
its a remix of the original.
man you are really awesome don't hesitate to do traveling again you have all the time in the universe
Rip your bank account
That is what I am gonna do! will quit my job and start a trip like this! I hope we see each other somewhere on our way and be in one second of each other's videos! :)
the title should be QUIT my job to travel INDIA. :)
sourav thakur and sri lanka
hahaha
Amazing! My boyfriend has just done the same and now we're heading off round the world. He feels better after watching your travels...absolutely fantastic footage. Inspiring stuff Jord. Hopefully the money won't run out two quickly - will take your budget advice!
i did this this summer, me and my buddies quit our jobs and traveled across the states this summer living out of tents and then set up camp for 2 months on a volcano in oregon... 3 months of living out of a tent and it was the best and most exciting 3 months of my life
Nagyon remélem, hogy egyszer én is megtehetem ezt. Köszönöm, hogy megosztottad ezt a videót! :)
Look it's hard to watch as it gives flashbacks to blair witch project shaky cam shots. That doesn't take away, at least for those who know what travelling is like, to the hard work that each second of your journey takes. Let alone the editing hours afterwards.
You're a beast man, and have done things most of us can only dream of.
Well done Sir, well done.
this took so much time and effort... hope everyone appreciates that
Congratulations on 1 million views! I think i must of contributed at least 1000 of them 😍. This video helped give me the courage to quit my job december 2018 and i have not looked back since. So far this year i have been to 15 countries across Europe, the middle east and asia. I also built up my confidence to start my youtube channel which should hit 30,000 subs by christmas! Great stuff Jord, well done, cheers Mike
life is so little. that was the meaning of that video for me. we spend out whole lifes working and we never really have fun till we are too old to even do something like that. take action NOW. Now that you can!
i cried while watching this. I want my life to be this spontaneous and amazing
I love your video. My family and I recently got back from a three week European vacation where we visited England, France, Italy and Greece. It was an amazing time. I look forward to seeing more of your adventures as well!- Michelle
I haven't even watched your video, simply reading your description intrigued me to subscribe to your channel.
Just watching makes me want to plan my next trip so bad...guess I better start saving! Thanks for sharing!
We are working toward doing this as a family! We are currently planning on taking time to travel America for months and see everything, and then it will be to travel abroad. So fun to Vlog all these memories. Keep up the good work! Just subbed and look forward to following your travels. :)
This is such fantastic think! I cannot image how great that was! Good for you man :)
Getting ready to do the same. I've sold over half the stuff I own so far and I'm about to be putting my two weeks in, within the next couple weeks. My first stop is Indonesia🤙
This is awesome. These are the kind of videos that inspired me to do what I do. Stay awesome!
Congratulations, you've lived life to it's fullest. Literally living the dream
This video scared me, the music more than anything. The fact that one day we'll be sitting in our bungalows in an armchair; and it'll have seemed as though life has only been a few brief moments
i like the things i do here at home and what im going for in school, but traveling the world and learning about it is my true passion tbh
i just got something in my eye, im not crying😭 my goals right there. iA. 💓💓
I find this video very inspirational. Sometimes i guess you don't need words to inspire.
This is the best UA-cam video I have ever seen. Ever.
Glad to see you having that much fun in India in the video! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!
This is definitely my favourite video ever on UA-cam 😊
dude this is shockingly cool. omg so nice to see that life can be like this.
This is absolutely beautiful man. Such a great video :)
Oh my god thank you! I just seen you're video and was inspired and seen this as a sign. I just turned 18 and I'm that person who's always been thinking about what am I going to do for a living and this song you played as the background brought me back to when i used to dance in school and how much i loved it so I'm definitely going to work hard so I can travel by age 23 so thank you.
HAHA finished with Perth of all places, was tripping out that that looked liked a tower i climbed as a kid and its actually the same one. Sick video mate!
You're a *L E G E N D*
You're an inspiration.
You're the boss of your life.
Respect from INDIA.
Jord, I just want to thank you for sharing our journey with us (even when it gets challenging). Your videos have inspired me to quit my job and travel long term. And because of you, I want to document my experiences on my UA-cam channel and share my story. Thanks for your work! It’s changing lives. :)
This is such an awesome video! I like the way you film so 'freely'. So awesome!
Dont know if you will read this. But this video is truly amazing, enjoyed watching it. Hope you had fun
Im here from Slovakia.This video was in my recommended idk why but I like it
I love this video and choice of soundtrack! I also recently devoted travel to a full time adventure
this is such a cool and beautiful video. cannot wait to start my journey and such a cool way to end it haha love how the camera went up
some great memories there, always wanted to do that tomato throwing thing
You’re my motivation that make me wanna travel and live my life as worth as i can cheers ❤
I'm tearing up this is so amazing
This is great! We started a 5 seconds a day of our 35 days of travel but it ended up being '35 Days of Travel' instead :) Liked & subscribed - looking forward to more content!
This is nothing but true insperation I'm hoping to get out of school be a photographer and travel the world 😄
What a fantastic idea! So much inspiration in this video!
well it's a good thing you spent a lot of time in India. India has all cultures and climates. from the cold north to the hot middle to the tropical south India has everything
