I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only

[Xester]

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!!!

Wow.  What an amazing experience to have it.  I also want that to experience.  Actually I guess it is more safer because you do not have a big amount to show and less holduppers.  But I do not have that bitcoin as much as you.  I never have even one bitcoin.  I wish I could do that someday.

I am truly happy for you OP. You have demonstrated how far BTC has come today.
Hope you enjoyed your trip!

[Marileno]

Great story for sure. It is experiences like these that need to be marketed in an organic way to the masses. Main stream needs to understand the material benefits that BTC offers to our everyday lives. It is the best counter to attacks on the concept by banks, government and Mr Dimon.

I have been travelling for the last 3 months and have used BTC where possible. Localbitcoins is a fantastic service and i have used it without a problem previously. More stories like this plz!

[spring07]

It  is really awesome to know that someone did it. Your story is no doubt an inspiration to lots of folks out there.
For the avoidance of doubt BITCOIN is MONEY.
Am happy I belong to the Bitcoin community.

I would personally love to share a similar experience someday.

This really excites me! I've got a three month trip to India comin up and was wondering if it would at all be possible to use crypto instead of fiat! When you say local bitcoins do you mean local people with bitcoin or a company called local bitcoin? Sorry for the dumb question! I just really am hoping to not have to keep exchanging money when going around India and Sri Lanka

Thanks in advance bud

[ddurand]

Amazing to see people beginning to live with bitcoin! The future of cryptocurrencies is quite bright 

[jekanmasin]

Glad to hear your success on your dream mate.. This will motivate a lot of peoples in here.

[zoolz]

Interesting experiment however it would be cool to see someone do it without using something like localbitcoins and without converting to fiat at all.

[RomanPetrush]

But dont go to Zimbabwe, as somebudy just will cut your head off Anyway,as you said that it's safe, actually it's not.

Wow would like to try this out. Best way to save money.

[Jorosss]

thats cool! another alternative way for spending is using bitcoin for travel. In that way we can avoid high interest and large tax using credit card. Im also planning to travel next month using my bitcoin i hope it went smooth like your travel

[Rebellious]

Amazing & inspiring ! I wish it gets easier in a near futur to travel like that with bitcoins.

[cyberChevan]

Wow, that's amazing! I hope I can save up more bitcoins in the future for me to do what you just did. I've been dreaming to explore many countries because I always have this curiousity about different cultures. How one differs from other and how strong a culture in a country is. Right now I have Korea in mind because other they have a really strong culture based on what I've read and watched. And the Kpop buzz have gotten to me a little, not that much. I hope there's a way for me to use btc for my travel there without having to encash it for me to save up from money exchanges.

Why if you just work in the signature campaign for a year itself you can find the perfect money to you. I hope might be earned atleast 2 btc if you just joined signature campaign itself you will be able to make that much amount.
If the travelling with the bitcoin you will be able to exchange the bitcoin to that concern country fiat cash. Avoid USD and go with the bitcoin everywhere.

Just make sure to stay on the capitals, main cities, otherwise there is a risk to lose internet connection as it's not disponible on remote places, especially third world countries... In this case, no internet means no money. Indeed a nice experience, but it's necessary to calculate the details very well before launching yourself on an adventure like this. A good idea for a documentary also... (Travelling around the world with BTCs).

You will never Main street media talking about Bitcoin as an alternative to cash!
But again what third world countries!!! What you see on TV has no true meaning! I can show you neighborhoods in NYC, with bad internet and you can't walk on daylight around it... forget the night

[crustez00]

So I would add: avoid these neighboorhoods if you are going to NYC. 

The fact that few neighboorhoods in NYC are dangerous don't make most third world countries safer.

Totally, but doesn't mean you should stop the adventure trip! Man I am getting laid by just mentioning bitcoins and overseas trip!

[xBitHodler]

Lucky you! Don't you feel a little bit angry that Bitcoin value has increases a lot? You could have earned almost $2000 on 1 BTC, it would give you about $4000! I don't like spending my BTC and that's why I can't understand people like you. It must have been a nice experience but you could have earned a lot of money by hodling it just a bit more.
