I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only

[Gaff]

My journey started on Sep 21, from Boston to NYC, flight to Egypt then Turkey, back to Boston! Carrying $100 just in case and 3 bitcoins in my wallet!

Fuck If I will ever carry credit card, or cash any more:

1- I used Localbitcoins for cash! Search for best local currency rate!
2- How much I save from credit card fees and Fiat exchanges: $305.
3- Is it save to deal with Localbitcoins in person overseas? Yes, so amazing nice guys, you are making friends


You should try it! & $100 stayed with me! and I spent less than 1.9 btc in both countries!!!

But the amazing thing would be when you don't have to use localbitcoins for all your payments, uses and bills.
Gotta ask, how many vendors throughout your journey actually accepted bitcoin? Any tickets, bookings, restaurants or anything?

You gave new idea to the bitcoin users so that they have no worries to travel across the world putting aside all the worries and all this is just because of blessing of bitcoin, I suggest that traveling companies must accept bitcoins as travel expenses so that they can also expand their business worldwide and this will be also a ease to the user.

That's good to know about your experience though. Could you give more details and specific booking you got from your travels? It's really interesting because I also love to travel but I don't know how to do it first. I mean the things to prepare first and how it goes. I live in Asia but until now I haven't travelled from far places or countries. Since then i keep on hoping that someday I can travel even just one time before I die. I want to live longer so I can travel many places but that only permits my life until when.

from your story i have an idea to make a travel agent that will make a traveling package to country that accept bitcoin, so people just bring their bitcoin and traveling

That the wonderful kind of idea travel agency that accept bitcoin, believe me the one who will take initiative to this sort of business more likely he will progress in days and his company will be known as multinational and also attracts international users to it so take initiative and earn as much as you can and they earn profit, set a trend get the followers the will do same.

The good thing about here was, the maximization of bitcoins truly support him in terms of answering his financial expenses. Almost some countries now are beginning to accept bitcoin as a medium of payment for their services. Your trip is a living example on how an individual can survive and sustain himself when using only bitcoins, and it also saved you from converting it to btc-fiat due to the acceptance of these retailers. Maybe this would encourage some retailers from other countries as well to start accepting bitcoin as payment in order to spread its influence more.

when I travel abroad..

This might be a little step for our community , yet a big step for the wold !
Being able to travel around the globe only carrying small amounts of cash thus not fearing danger that can be caused from it , and just having to use localbitcoins in a very easy , secured and cheaper way ! Let's hope that in a few years this will be the travelling model of all people across the world .

[South Park]

That is really great to hear mate...i am planning this kind of trip ( with other destinations) for a long time now..maybe next year

Yes almost everyone of us want to try it. If I had already saved enough maybe I will also have the time to travel just like he did. I'm not sure of next year but as soon as I have the time and money I will make my dream come true and enjoy it.

Yeah, we all will like to try it not only for the adventure but because that will mean that we are so well off economically that we can afford such a trip, at this moment I do not have the funds to even travel within my own country but I will do my best effort to keep getting as much bitcoin as I can.

[Hexah]

That was an awesome travel to have to, if only I have that amount of bitcoin I could really love to travel in some countries also. I agree that you choose localbitcoins.com they really have some good rate when it comes to local currency exchange. Right now I know even you just have bitcoins and a little amount of money in your pocket that is a lot that you can survive for a long journey.

[bitcoinvestor]

Congratulations and I'll take this as an inspiration, I'm planning to travel with my partner too next year and we both are planning to use Bitcoin and just a little amount of cash in case of emergency but still planning where to travel. We kind of made a plan to travel just somewhere in Asia and hopefully there'd be restaurants who would accept bitcoin as payment.

I recomend Bali is great. Bali is the land of Bitcoin. The biggest exchanger of indonesian bitcoin is located in Bali bitcoin.co.id . There are many hotels and restaurants accept bitcoin. Even small stores of merchandise in Bali accept bitcoin payment. YOu can buy flight from your country with bitcoin.

Really admire someone who is currently enjoying their hard work and continue to enjoy because they still have btc to invest.

Hoping to experience the same life you have now. Good job.

[jonatuzc]

Lucky you. You realized my dream before i did. I'm glad to hear that's not hard to do it.

Yeah same was my dream and I was recently planning about it but yeah this man just did it. And I want to say, things are not that difficult but you have to show some courage and things would be in your account. Like just traveling with bitcoin is not that impossible thing to do, and this proved us. I am so keen to do it, and I will surely do.

This is one of the things I like about bitcoin...it gets you to make new friends from all over the world and it helps us save some money in most instances and its good to hear that this journey you embarked on was cashless and a success.... hope this serves as a real eye opener for people that had their doubts in this technology.

[smartbitcoininvestor]

That's an awesome idea. With the Internet, you have access to any service or vacation trip that can be booked. On LocalBitcoins you will be able to access any local Fiat currency on demand. The cool part is that you get to meet locals who also enjoy the idea of Bitcoin and the prospect of digital currency as you exchange currency within each country.

I would love to stack up Bitcoins and travel with it. I feel like it would be incredibly fun discovering new things to do and services you can book with BTC. Only thing you need now is an AirBnb that accepts Bitcoin.

[btcdepo]

I had some sort of similar trip with my bitcoins but your story sounds really cool. I had more cash with me in case I'd need it but I didn't use it anyway. local coin networks is very good way to open up communication where ever you are.

[hypersonic1]

This is super cool, especially because I plan to visit japan again in the mid term when i have more bitoin. You've made me super excited for my future!

[Coin12]

Your story can make us more believe that bitcoin will be more more accepted in every country. More and more popular in next future. I am so happy to know more people and company using bitcoin as payment in real life. So not only in internet. Btc now can reach real life.

[Scorpion]

Thank you for sharing your journey with us, it's very inspiring to hear about. Bitcoin is a worldwide phenomenon that's growing too and to utilize this fact and get to enjoy travelling the world is amazing.

It is nice that you go travel in different countries using your bitcoin. Its easy and hassle free right? But there are only few countries who accept bitcoin as a payment of any transactions. I hope in the future, i can also travel with all the bitcoin i earned because my dream is to travel around the world with my family.

Interesting story. It would be nice to get more information. Which cities in Egypt and Turkey did you visit and where did you meet those Localbitcoins dealers? I think situation may be very different in a 5-star hotel in the capital and in a small remote town. And it depends on the country. In the city where I live (about 400,000 people) there is not a single place where I can spend or exchange bitcoins. It is possible to exchange bitcoins to local currency online for a local, but it would be near impossible for a foreigner.

[daserpent]

Wow, I like this idea!! I wanna try this now.

Could you please elaborate on your travels? How you bought the flight tickets? Food? What if you didn't find buyers in those countries? Did you book hotels in advance or on the spot?

[Odora]

good, you made it..
if I had 2 Bitcoin in the wallet, surely I will try what you do this.. 
and this has become an inspiration to me ..
