Dans ce talk en Anglais, Edouard Jacqmin nous parle de son expérience de voyager à travers l'Europe sans argent pendant 21 jours, et les conséquences que ce voyage a eu sur sa manière de voir les relations humaines.
La plupart d’entre nous rêvons de voyager. Mais beaucoup d’entre nous croient que nous ne pouvons pas à cause du manque d’argent. À 24 ans, j’ai voyagé en Europe de l’Est pendant 21 jours sans dépenser un seul centime. Un jour, j’ai vidé mon portefeuille et j’ai décidé de prendre la route. Traversant 5 pays différents, j’ai appris au cours de cette aventure incroyable 4 leçons que nous pouvons tous appliquer dans notre vie quotidienne.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Hitchhiking - that’s how I met my wife! I was bored one winters day in cold cold Winnipeg, couldn’t wait for spring. Two other other male friends and I decided to stage a hitchhiking race to Fargo, North Dakota, about 150 miles away. We had to take backroads only, not freeways. Then we realized we needed some girls to join us, in order to appear more harmless to the potential drivers. We rounded up two girls we knew, and one of them had a roommate who said she would come along. We drew straws to see who would join who, in three guy/girl pairs, and dropped ourselves off a mile apart. We met truck drivers, cowboys, good hearted country folk who joined in the spirit of the fun, as first one couple, then the next, took the lead. That evening we all went out for some dining and dancing, and I met the third girl. We were married about a year after that.

If you listen long enough, you hear the message that spoke to me: if you go with the mindset "what can I give (mindset of abundance)?" Instead of "what can I get from from another? (Scarcity)?". It brings so much more in blessing. I do have to say, I'm glad you made it home- it's a very dangerous world out there today!

I have friends in Nova Scotia and I've been wanting to visit them, but going on an adventure this way sounds WAY more interesting!! I just have to quit my job for the time being and just go!

How could you be with a sound mind knowing you have no money coming in or even worst coming from travels with no job to fall back on. Where you are maybe is it easy to just find another job or maybe you have advanced degrees or some major skills most don't. I still wish you luck on your endeavors. Do what you feel.

traveling without money is a totally wrong atitude, as shareing is careing. a present and some bugs go a long way. When i get picked up while traveling, i usually put some money in my hand and give it to the driver when i feel it would be a good thing to do or invite people who really did a lot for me. And presents go a long way. This way of traveling is egocentric and falls under the definition of BEGbacking

If you don't have much money try to make some on the road or exchange labour for things you need like food and accommodation or spend less by camping or even dumpster diving. It's when people say they travel for "free" when In reality they are spending money just not their own, that gets people riled up.
