We’re A Couple That Has Left Everything Behind To Travel Around The World (76 Pics)
5Kviews
We decided to quit our jobs and travel while we're young and free. Now we travel full time while working online. Already visited 74 countries, and we keep moving! We do it as we can, and we don't like labels. We try everything from couch surfing to hostels, sharing our room with dozens of strangers, and we even enjoyed beautiful luxury all-inclusive hotels as well.
We've been hosted in Zimbabwe, Kenya, Tanzania, and Zambia at houses without electricity and water, took showers with a cup of water that came from the local river. We hitchhiked and took public transportations, taking 18-hour buses and trains at night to reach some destinations, for example, in India. We rented cars and motorhomes in the US, South Africa, and Ireland, enjoying a comfortable ride. And sometimes we could even fly with the best airlines in the world, like when we went to Dubai!
But not everything turns out ok all the time. We had food poisoning in Laos and a double ankle and foot fracture in Egypt. We kept traveling as we could. We are flexible and experiment a lot while traveling. We love everything from a humbling local experience eating rice for weeks to enjoying a good wine with cheese in western Europe.
We just like to travel. Period. It does not matter how, but it's our priority. We are not wealthy, neither can our families support us — we're just a simple couple from a remote country called Argentina. We manage to keep traveling while working online.
Our tip to you is to keep traveling, despite what people might say. Fears are not real. You can go alone, and it is not impossible to do it cheaply.
Enjoy. Labels don't exist. Surround yourselves with positive people that believe in your crazy dreams of wandering around the world. Some people laughed at us when we decided to quit our good jobs to travel. Now they are the ones that ask us how to do it and need advice about the destinations that we already visited. See you on the road!

When she gets old and her looks go, she's going to be hell to be around. Don't say we didn't warn you.

I call bullshit on this. There is no way that you are allowed to treat a temple (even an unfinished one) as a prop for images of you that nobody asked to see.
Koh Phi Phi, Thailand
Disgusting....just like every other image here, its all about you. Typical self-centered morons. If you were really interested in the world, your pictures would center on it, not you.
Agra, India
You're happy at a mausoleum? No picture here illustrates your supreme ignorance more than this one.
Pamukkale, Turkey
i wouldn't want to lean against those pretty formations and possibly destroy them :'(
Sintra, Portugal
At no point in my life have I wished more that two people would have fallen down a staircase.
Garden Route, South Africa
dont squish those cute flowers!! :'( hope they got permission to do this
Varanasi, India
Maafushi, Maldives
Varadero, Cuba
I nominate this post for the most disgusting show of self-absorption ever displayed on Bored Panda.
Seconded. Please Bored Panda - we don't want to look at self-indulgent morons.
Thirded
Forthed? Whatever it is, I'll add a nomination. They go to places like the Galápagos Islands, places where nature is amazing and relatively untouched and all they can do is take pictures of themselves. The message is not, oh let's appreciate how nice the environment is, it's look at my body, me in a bikini. You found a sea turtle and amazing sea stars, those are things most people won't get to see in person, EVER. But no, pose in front with a bikini. And then there are the temples... I have no problem with people travelling and seeing the world. But a lot of these pictures belong on your personal camera roll (you know posing on the beaches or on boats). Maybe i'm being a little cynical, it's your life and go live it however you want. But you're spreading the wrong message. Your pictures scream indulgence and being self centred. Even if that's not how you want to come across. Most of us can't drop our lives and go running around the world.
Second point and i'm on rant now. The world is slowing coming apart with climate change, selfish humans, poverty...the list goes on (and everything is tied together). The whole idea is to become more aware of our footprint and reduce our consumption.If you want to show us how wonderful the world is before it falls apart, try doing it without posing in the pictures. Show us a picture of the temples, turtles, monuments without you in them. Without realising it you could be encouraging masses of people to go to these locations (and some places cannot handle huge amounts of stress), what about those flowers? You trample on them for what, a good photo?
*blech* 'And don't forget to support us on Instagram' Please go away.
So... begpackers?
