Thinking about full-time travel? It’s not always the glamorous, carefree lifestyle it seems! In this video, we’re sharing our most shocking travel horror stories – the dark side of traveling the world long-term. From taxi scams to unexpected costs, we’ve experienced it all while embracing the ups and downs of slow travel.

While full-time travel teaches adaptability and gives us incredible insights into different cultures and ways of life, it also comes with its fair share of challenges. We’ll discuss the realities of traveling continuously, how we handle setbacks, and why – despite the bad experiences – we still believe it's worth it.

Great video. I identify with everything you mentioned since I've been traveling full-time for a few years too. Bedbugs and fleas are always a problem and time consuming since you have to go do laundry or just throw your clothes away. It's a blessing to go to countries where medical and dental care is accessible as opposed to the USA. I spent the pandemic in Cancun - by chance - and any type of prescription medication is cheap and easy to buy in Mexico. For better or worse, I don't buy anything unless I see the price, take anything anybody tells me with a huge grain of salt and will do almost anything to avoid taking a taxi. Google maps is great since it often gives you public transportation options from point A to point B. Safe travels.

I would be scared travel to some places where protests and unrest are common good you guy's were together I travel solo mostly. I visited Israel and Jordan back in September 2019 great experience went to Tel Aviv,Jerusalem,Hafia, Jericho and Dead Sea then in Jordan visited Petra fun life changing trip but I wouldn't travel solo there went with a tour group. I'm so afraid of bed bugs thank god I've never experienced I remember lying in bed in a hotel recently and feeling itchy like something was crawling on me and I was so scared it was bed bugs but I never had any red marks or signs of bites on my body anywhere my skin is very sensitive wow you guy's experienced a lot great tips and suggestions.
