It's possible but risky, you have to be educated and well acquainted on the country or city that you are going to visit if they Cryptocurrency friendly, of course, Google can help but you need more reliable sources like a friend who is also into Cryptocurrency  from that country so he can tell you if you can use and where to use your Cryptocurrency.

It's a risk, yes, and even if country is cryptocurrency friendly that still doesn't mean you can use crypto for everything you want. We all know how limited is the number and variety of goods and services that could be bought with cryptocurrencies.
The only solution for that to my opinion is crypto debit card. Is not direct use of cryptocurrencies but it's the only way you can be sure you could use them everywhere you want.

An excellent story, which shows that it is possible to travel and perform multiple transactions with cryptocurrencies, of course, for now this is only possible in certain countries where acceptance is considerable, but still a great challenge, there is much to be done so that more companies accept cryptocurrencies.

It much better if you have known someone from that particular place who already have experiences using crypto so it's not hard to find where to use it or exchange it into fiat just in case, this adventure is challenging if you'll perform it without any good knowledge to whatever place you are heading and you don't have any ideas if the place is already accepting crypto.

This is a real test for a real cryptocurrency fan Smiley I think it was not always easy to find a place where they accept payment in the form of cryptocurrency. I can only be glad for this girl or woman Wink Cool

Well, the good thing about her experience is that she was able to travel around the world with just Bitcoin/cryptocurrency... which is part of what makes Bitcoin great. I guess she wouldn't have done that easily with fiat.

I understand her frustration about volatility but she needs to understand that it is part of the feature... It is part of what makes Bitcoin unique. When you really need to buy something with bitcoin you wouldn't worry about volatility, in my opinion.
I think we should work towards moderate volatility instead

Here is a story of a vlogger and co-host youtube Australian woman (Jailde Barclay) who actually travels 7 countries and 16 diferent cities alone using only cryptocurrency. If we are asking how did she know those countries she went to, accepted crypto payments, with the power of "google" it is very possible.

She attended at London for London Blockchain week and since she never uses her digital assets before, it is a big challenge for her to spend it now without using cash.

Her 12-weeks challenge spending crypto paying hotels, restaurants and shoppings is really difficult because bitcoin is bullish at the moment she is travelling.

This is also my dream, to travel and see how possible to spend cryptocurrency in my journey as well, if not in outside the country I would like to spend it at least here jn our country. The works of bitcoin payments indicates that it is started to grow, started to adopt well by many. I can see the future aheads with it. This woman proves that despite of the volatility of the market, she took the risks to not to HODL but to spend it.

I will leave here the link for the article and her youtube video is also there. It's exciting and amazing to watch her travel using crypto payments only.

Sooner it would be like the movie of Jackie Chan's 80 days around the world, most of the countries would be accepting crypto for sure in terms of payments, tickets to food and accommodation. You will have nothing to worry about, only your PK or your phone is enough to cover your travel expenses.

Although traveling using crypto existed already but the real challenge is how are you going to spend your crypto when you are inside in the said country. I believe the lady uses a credit card or something to pay the services especially in booking a hotel for a night. But with the surging price of Bitcoin, she still thinks that it would be a waste to spend it when in fact most people don't know her YT channel but thankfully to these articles she might be fishing some future crypto enthusiasts.

That is great of the woman. She is living the dream. I keep spending my cryptocurrency instead of always holding to expect some profit, I realize it's a currency and I need to spend it otherwise I may starve myself and my family of necessity. It's the frequent usage that gives it its needed value.

And she googled before? not once she's in the country? Cheesy What a challenge
What is wrong with planning ahead? Every traveler does that.

Is called sarcasm.
She described an activity a 6yo could do it as some achievement.
Look at me ...I can google!!!!!

Her fame will be good for bitcoin adoption. What's wrong with wanting to be famous? At least she goes out of the house.

Nobody likes attention whores!

it seems that bitcoin is something that is in the rock bottom and that then needs an advertising campaign. Eventually all the countries of the world will accept bitcoin as a means of payment, we do not need to be doing this type of advertising

Nope, Bitcoin is ok and hasn't reached anything.

The problem is with all the morons that have flocked to it and they do everything for attention, to make every usual thing look like a miracle, trying in an evey way no matter how ridiculous to pump bitcoin to the point that is becoming so damn annoying. Check the DB article in the press section as an example of how low users can get.

But there is a new trend I start to sens and I really like it.
Old guys who have been for a while in BTC are starting to laugh at all those attempts and only noobs who have to make their daily quota are posting wow, great, such much wow, bow wow, lols.

Sounds like a fairytale, but if it's true I'm happy for her and btc current adoption Smiley we can do better!

This has nothing to do with the fairy tale. It's all about where he went. Especially in most Asian countries it is possible to pay with crypto in many places.

I will not try what she did because I am not sure that I can travel to different countries using cryptocurrency only. It is not easy to find a local store or the other store that accepting cryptocurrency even if we are stopping by in the Asian countries. But if our destination in the country which accepting cryptocurrency, I guess we can go to that country and spend our cryptocurrency to buy anything. For me, it is better to exchange cryptocurrency into cash first so we can go travel to the other countries and enjoy our time. But that is a challenge for people who wants to use cryptocurrency and they are curious about how to use cryptocurrency in different countries.

not many store accept payment with bitcoin, but she can proof that bitcoin is acceptable everywhere. it means they believe that bitcoin is exist now and in the future.
i think its provide in big country or city, i dont know if in small city, but bitcoin member will be more confidence if they want to travel arround the world and use crypto as payment

This is possible as long as the places that she visits are all accepting Bitcoin payments. I think she planned well her travels and expenses as it is unwise that you will just tour any places directly with just depending on Bitcoin only for all of your future expenses on the road.

I heard about the lady who traveled only with and for cryptocurrency. Finally, she was placed into a hospital as she got problems with her health through weight loss. She could not find places often where to use crypto. Pity.

How it is a risk to use Bitcoin. Is it safer to hold? Isn't Bitcoin supposed to be currency and payment mean? Not everyone is holding their bitcoins. Many use it a lot to buy kinds of stuff, pay bills, whatever,

This lady is just trying to get the fame lol. And she googled before? not once she's in the country? Cheesy What a challenge
I some kinda agree that she just wanted to get some fame on the internet and crypto world but I also believe what she is doing is cool and also helping to promote Crypto Currencies as a means of payment for traveling in different countries all around the world.
I believed that she googled everything before she started to travel and made a list on what and where to go ranging from hotels, restaurants, and shopping malls that accepts Crypto Currencies to save time and effort.  Cool

It is only a waste to spend coins when you don't replace them. Bitcoin has always had a bias to the upside, so you know that replacing spent coins is very important. I'm waiting for exchanges to provide these services because it will help do the work for you in the background. That way you can spend coins without having to worry about missing next weeks rally.

People spending Bitcoin to regret it a month later have themselves to blame for. It's not a unit of account. It's a new type of money with a heavily fluctuating price. You would expect people to have figured that out already, but nope. Roll Eyes

if he travels using crypto, he must show that at least he shows us his crypto assets, and he has to record videos when making transactions using crypto.if just talking in a different background, it can make others assume that it is  lies.  I prefer the video of Felix Weis who traveled with Bitcoin for 365 days.  and Felix videos is more perfect.

This is a good story to inspire other people to start collecting and using Cryptos. Its very seldom that we meet people who are actually using Cryptos in their daily lives. Most are just holding them, keeping them until they reach their target and sell. In other words, for investment purposes only. I hope there is a site or a directory where we can spend our Cryptos so it will be easier to find establishments who accepts it.

Hello. This is an interesting phenomenon of course. But, if memory serves me correctly, this woman who travels for cryptocurrency is far from being the discoverer of such an experiment. Most certainly interesting to see how she's doing this cryptocurrency makes. Huh

Traveling the world with Bitcoins is absolutely possible with some prior planning and preparation. There are a lot of countries which legalize it and support its use. The currency is not limited by any government rules, so you don’t even have to focus on getting it converted or transferring it to a particular bank.
However, Bitcoin prices are also a factor of effect. A sudden increment or decrement can change the whole scenario of the travel.
But with some research, you can find the hotel, restaurants, and other spots that support Bitcoin transaction use them for your travel. The travel was a great initiate to show the potential in Bitcoins and proved its worth.
