How I Started a Life of Full-Time Solo Travel Travel Deeper 2022-12-06 | 🚀 Watch Next ► Why Solo Travel youtu.be/RfVdwTonBlQ🔔 Subscribe For More Travel Videos ► bit.ly/TravelDeeperSubscribe ↓ More Solo Travel Information Below ↓Long story short; I was not destined for this life of solo travel. My family is not wealthy, nor did I travel around the world as a kid. I grew up in a very small town in Upstatate New York. I went to a small University two hours away from home. After school, I joined some friends in starting a business close to where we went to school.I had no real awareness of the outside world, nor did I ever think I could be a part of something bigger than my surroundings.At age 25, I realized that I needed more - to live a life filled with substance, passion and adventure. I bought a one-way ticket to Buenos Aires, Argentina and setup a plan to work and travel around the world. This is the story of how I started a life of full-time solo travel. I still can't believe it myself sometimes, given where I come from. 🤯——— YOUTUBE:① Travel Deeper Channel: bit.ly/TravelDeeperSubscribe② Brand New Food Channel: bit.ly/GarethEatsSubscribe③ Main Channel: bit.ly/you-da-best INSTAGRAM:► instagram.com/traveldeeper► instagram.com/garetheatsTIKTOK:► @Travel.Deeper► @GarethEatsWEBSITES:► Merch: https://traveldeeper.shop► Personal: garethleonard.com► Travel Deeper Blog: tourist2townie.com——— WATCH ANOTHER TRAVEL SERIES ———Croatia ► bit.ly/Travel-Deeper-Croatia-SeriesEgypt ► bit.ly/Travel-Deeper-Egypt-SeriesRussia ► bit.ly/Travel-Deeper-Russia-SeriesPhilippines ► bit.ly/Travel-Deeper-Philippines-SeriesJapan ► bit.ly/Travel-Deeper-Japan-SeriesBrazil ► bit.ly/Travel-Deeper-Brazil-SeriesAustralia ► bit.ly/Travel-Deeper-Australia-SeriesUSA ► bit.ly/Travel-Deeper-USA-SeriesMexico ► bit.ly/Travel-Deeper-Mexico-Series——— WHO IS GARETH LEONARD? ———Hi!
