Comments on: Where have I been to? Countries & Cities http://www.alexasigno.co.uk/where-have-i-been-to-countries-cities Alex's travel blog to record my life of travelling Sat, 24 Jul 2010 20:42:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: G.

Michael Schneider Sat, 24 Jul 2010 20:42:47 +0000 http://www.alexasigno.co.uk/?p=233#comment-74142 Dear Alex and Dorota, Have enjoyed reading your blog and would like to ask you a couple of questions. (Perhaps you answered them in an earlier posting that I have missed.) 1. How do you pay for your travels? Do you have a regular "day job" that you can leave at will and which pays enough to cover your expenses? If not, how do you cover your expenses? 2. About how long do you spend in a place? I know it will vary but, in general, are we talking days? weeks? months? years? I ask only because I am curious how many readers of the blog can follow your travels and duplicate your lifestyle? I have done the same thing as you--traveled the globe--but I do it by living and working in the countries where I visit and earn enough to cover all my wife's and my transportation and living expenses. (Described in my blog) Is that how you are able to afford travel? I would love to know in order to compare it with my own experiences. Thanks. Michael Schneider Dear Alex and Dorota,

I ask only because I am curious how many readers of the blog can follow your travels and duplicate your lifestyle? I have done the same thing as you–traveled the globe–but I do it by living and working in the countries where I visit and earn enough to cover all my wife’s and my transportation and living expenses. (Described in my blog) Is that how you are able to afford travel? I would love to know in order to compare it with my own experiences. Thanks.

I am wondering do you buy a template or you created your own template, do you mind to share with me?

Anyway, I just discovered an awesome website that could help travelers planning their trips : http://neomarco.com. If you feel like a new Marco Polo, you should definitely take a look! It’s a community-based website for travelers and craftspeople around the world who talk about the neat items they create and the cool finds they make! You can share your best travel experiences by uploading unusual, authentic or ethical cool finds and though help other travelers to locate the cool objects to bring back from their trips! You can also show the world your personal creations. And of course, it’s totally free. I'm sure you have plenty of cool things you brought back from all these trips, i would like to see them!
