Backpackers who travel around the world for months on end all have one thing in common – they all know budget travel basics. And they employ them constantly to make their money and their travels go farther. The fact of the matter is, there are numerous ways to finance your way around the world and make it last as long as you’re creative, budget-savvy, and comfortable with being a little uncomfortable some of the time.

We were recently invited to do a guest appearance on the show Rise Above with Joe and Heidi. We had a great time talking about our trip around the world including topics like how we prepared for the trip, how we saved money, how we came closer as a couple, things we fought about, and some of our most memorable experiences.
