"How I finance our travel life" - that is the most popular question. And my answer is: one don't need to be rich to travel around the world! During all years on the way, we haven't met a single millionaire who was travelling around the world. But we met a lot of travelers with a very small budget.
If you are planing a trip around the world and know how to handle your finances carefully, your trip can be a real saving! For example in our case - a month of travel costs me (for both of us) only 1/3 of the budget that we needed each month for our settled life in Berlin! For example, our trip around the world 2017-2018 (some expensive countries like Australia and New Zealand included) cost me exactly 12 Euros per person per day. Absolutely all our costs were included in this budget: all flights, health insurance, running costs in Germany (such as storage rent, web hosting fees, etc.), including technical equipment if something was broken on the way. We never slept in hostels, had decent private accommodation, enjoyed our life and missed nothing. (If you stay in hostels, even the half budget is enough.). Visit for more details...

I left behind our comfortable lifestyle in Berlin to try a different life. I no longer wanted to live according to the schedule that others established for me, did not want to meet social standards and other people’s expectations. I wanted to experience an absolute freedom and see how I could manage it. I did not plan anything in advance and did not know where to go and how long we would be on the way. As a result, Anna and I spent 250 days in different parts of Southeast Asia. This was one of the most significant periods in our life. For each of us individually and for the two of us as a team, as a family. Anna and I created this travel documentary film together from the beginning to the end. It took us a lot of time, since we worked on the way (we were making the film on the way). I edited it at airports, on playgrounds, in parks, in hotels … even on the days when we had no table, no chair, no electricity. It was very important for me to finish it. And finally, the first part (all in all there are 2 parts) is ready, and we both are very happy to show you the result! In September 2019 we made a film tour with this documentary and screened it in German cinemas. We’ve got such positive feedback, our audience was so open-minded and cordial. Some of the people decided to start their own journey, a journey they dreamed of for a long time. Visit for more details... I am traveling with my daughter Anna for more than 3 years long. We started when Anna was 8 years old. Here my 5 tips for traveling with older children, let's say 7+.
1. Involve your kids in planning the route and the program. Let them help you. They can start with small simple tasks - watch your bags, fill the forms for hotel check-in and registration cards, order food, call reception if some advice or help is needed... (My daughter Anna learned English this way - managing small things for us). Trust your kids, and their self-confidence comes from these small successes. 2. Don’t Overpack! We need much less than we think we need. Helping your kids embrace minimalism on travels promotes being grateful for little things in life. Your children will learn to entertain themselves and to be happy with less. We both travel light with hand-luggage only. This allows me to buy cheap plane flights, get on and off transport easily, move quickly when needed and not have to guard our possessions. It also protects my back! Visit for more details... 2017-2018 I traveled around the World with my daughter Anna. In 10 months we visited 14 countries, took 22 flights, many boats, trains, buses and even made some distances by hitchhiking. Anna is my daughter and an excellent traveler. She is the most curious person I have ever met. It is a pleasure to watch her enthusiasm at discovering this world. Now we BOTH (Anna helps me so much!) are producing a travel documentary about this incredible trip. We will show you how we made it possible, places we discovered and how our daily life looked like. Not every day of our journey was easy and careless– there were difficult times. Anna never complained. She ate what was served on the table, played with things that were at her hand, made friends with children around the world whose language she could not understand… and she did it happily! Both of us have grown up a lot in this travel. Yes, a trip with children around the world it can be challenging sometimes… please do not mix up with a long time vacation, it is something completely different! We met stunning people and got inspired by their stories, we made experiences we will never forget! We fulfilled some of our dreams! – We learned surfing in New Zealand! – We started to learn Spanish in Mexico!
