To travel around the world is the dream of
many adventurous people. But very few people can afford a global tour because
hotels, food and airplane tickets are too expensive. Some people, however, have
thought of some ways to realize their dreams.
Laura Cody and Tanbay Theune, a couple from
Britain, decided to travel around the world. They have found a good way to pay
for their trips. They look after pets for rich house owners. In exchange, they
can stay in the houses for free. They have looked after horses, cows, cats,
dogs and fish. In two years, the couple has been to Australia, Germany, Spain
and Italy. They have stayed in big cities and small villages. The home owners are
usually very generous and have given them food, wine and day trips.
Another person who tries to realize her
travel dream is photographer Rhiannon Taylor. She travels around the world to
visit, review and take photos of the best hotels. She shares the places she
stays and the food she eats on the Internet with tens of thousands of
followers.
With these ways of making money, traveling
around the world is no longer a dream. More and more young people are thinking
creatively to make their dream come true.
