On Travelling...You Can Do and Learn a Lot with a Little

Candice Johnson is a native of Chicago. Here she discusses the places she has traveled, what she learned and why she loves Live Unchained--she loves it so much she had to say it twice! And we love her too...



You may think that it requires a lot of money to visit many places--especially faraway ones like Candice has. However, being creative and flexible in terms of where, when and what you do when you travel may lead to opportunities you had not considered.

One option is to travel for free as a volunteer. Also, many people are taking advantage of the new opportunity to Couch Surf. Couch Surfing is a worldwide network that connects travelers with members of local communities, who offer free housing, food and sometimes transportation.

If you were able to travel without (financial) limits, let us know how you did it!

Below are pics of Candice in Italy and Morocco.
