Bored from studies I quit everything when I was 18-years-old and started traveling around the world. Now I’m 27 and have visited 97 countries, From Nigeria in Africa to North Korea in Asia.
I always travel on a low budget and I never use guidebooks. Here are some of the hidden beauties around the world.

You have never mentioned where you get the money to travel . At 18 you could not have worked a long time before starting out.
This whole post should be called "My family can afford it for me to skip school and send me on a trip for 8 years, here are the pictures I took"
So much jealousy in this world, i havet got a singel dollar, everything is money i have earned by myself by doing work around the world while traveling
It's sad that you look at this way....if your envious why don't you get off your big arse and do something about rather than be so negative
That was unnecessarily rude and presumptuous, to boot!
Can you elaborate a little bit more on how and what kind of "work" you did while traveling that enabled you to afford such a free life style. If you have really been so as you describe, you should write a book about your travels and make some $$.
Yeah, that's exactly what I've been thinking. Even if it's "low budget" it would still require quite a lot of cash to survive
Maybe by your standards you would "require quite a lot of cash to survive" - but that is Your problem, not the author's. Some of us do not need to stay in posh hotels or shop to enjoy places and the people in them for their own sake. I'm a good deal older than he is and have traveled much the same way a great many times, and consequently have seen much more of the world than almost anyone I know.

Rich mammy and daddy.
paid for everything myself from working while traveling. It sucks to be jealous dont it?
What's your excuse for being presumptuous and rude? I'd say your "mommy and daddy" forgot to teach you manners!
Traveling the world IS an education. I do have to say, though that traveling the way you do in most parts of the world is much easier for a male than a female.
I totaly agree that traveling is easier for males then females, BUT i meet more single female travelers in Pakistan, Central Asia, and in Africa then i meet signle male travelers
Where did you get the resources to travel?
Your pictures are wonderful. You have a great eye.
Holy shit!... That's were im going ... Nah just a yoke!

You're full of shit. I live in Bangladesh, and before this I lived in Nigeria, and you're full of shit.
It depends. I travelled to many unconventional destinations on my own (including Iran). You just have to use your common sense an avoid dangerous situations :-)
And yet I have known several females who have done the same successfully. Check out the voluntourism advocated by Joyce Major at smilingattheworld.com and in her book "Smiling at the World".
I wish I could travel the world, too! I'm feeling so jealous now! :D You've done a great job!
