As I sit down to write this article, it’s a dark, chilly winter evening in Asheville.

Traveling isn’t just a hobby for me. For the past 15 years, I’ve been constantly traveling as an English teacher, digital nomad, and live music fanatic.

The biggest problem with my lifestyle is cost…
I don’t have a trust fund, I haven’t won the lottery, and I didn’t marry into riches. I’m just a freelancing teacher and writer who lives frugally and prioritizes travel over possessions.

Two simple words: travel hacking.
