[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 3148, member: 1"] [HEADING=2][URL='https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/traveler-globetrotting-for-nearly-a-decade/index.html']The traveler who's been globetrotting for nearly 10 years - CNN[/URL][/HEADING] He set off on a round-the-world trip in December 2012 and, nearly a decade later, traveler Tom Grond is still globetrotting. The Dutch blogger, who previously worked for the Netherlands government, now describes himself as a nomad and says he has no plans to return to his former life. Grond has traveled to around 130 different countries, including Syria, Jordan, Colombia and Burkina Faso, and once took 58 flights in a year. Before setting off on his ongoing trip, he'd saved enough money to sustain a life of travel continuously for around three years, and set himself a $30 a day budget. Like many backpackers, Grond, known as "Traveltomtom," stayed in hostels and lived as frugally as he possibly could to keep costs down. "People assume you must have come from a rich family," he says. "Yes, I'm very privileged. I'm from the Netherlands, so I have a really good passport. [/QUOTE]
