That is great of the woman. She is living the dream. I keep spending my cryptocurrency instead of always holding to expect some profit, I realize it's a currency and I need to spend it otherwise I may starve myself and my family of necessity. It's the frequent usage that gives it its needed value.

Although traveling using crypto existed already but the real challenge is how are you going to spend your crypto when you are inside in the said country. I believe the lady uses a credit card or something to pay the services especially in booking a hotel for a night. But with the surging price of Bitcoin, she still thinks that it would be a waste to spend it when in fact most people don't know her YT channel but thankfully to these articles she might be fishing some future crypto enthusiasts.

Here is a story of a vlogger and co-host youtube Australian woman (Jailde Barclay) who actually travels 7 countries and 16 diferent cities alone using only cryptocurrency. If we are asking how did she know those countries she went to, accepted crypto payments, with the power of "google" it is very possible.
She attended at London for London Blockchain week and since she never uses her digital assets before, it is a big challenge for her to spend it now without using cash.
Her 12-weeks challenge spending crypto paying hotels, restaurants and shoppings is really difficult because bitcoin is bullish at the moment she is travelling.
This is also my dream, to travel and see how possible to spend cryptocurrency in my journey as well, if not in outside the country I would like to spend it at least here jn our country. The works of bitcoin payments indicates that it is started to grow, started to adopt well by many. I can see the future aheads with it. This woman proves that despite of the volatility of the market, she took the risks to not to HODL but to spend it.
I will leave here the link for the article and her youtube video is also there. It's exciting and amazing to watch her travel using crypto payments only.
Sooner it would be like the movie of Jackie Chan's 80 days around the world, most of the countries would be accepting crypto for sure in terms of payments, tickets to food and accommodation. You will have nothing to worry about, only your PK or your phone is enough to cover your travel expenses.

Well, the good thing about her experience is that she was able to travel around the world with just Bitcoin/cryptocurrency... which is part of what makes Bitcoin great. I guess she wouldn't have done that easily with fiat.
I understand her frustration about volatility but she needs to understand that it is part of the feature... It is part of what makes Bitcoin unique. When you really need to buy something with bitcoin you wouldn't worry about volatility, in my opinion.
I think we should work towards moderate volatility instead

This is a real test for a real cryptocurrency fan 
I think it was not always easy to find a place where they accept payment in the form of cryptocurrency. I can only be glad for this girl or woman

It's possible but risky, you have to be educated and well acquainted on the country or city that you are going to visit if they Cryptocurrency friendly, of course, Google can help but you need more reliable sources like a friend who is also into Cryptocurrency from that country so he can tell you if you can use and where to use your Cryptocurrency.
It much better if you have known someone from that particular place who already have experiences using crypto so it's not hard to find where to use it or exchange it into fiat just in case, this adventure is challenging if you'll perform it without any good knowledge to whatever place you are heading and you don't have any ideas if the place is already accepting crypto.

An excellent story, which shows that it is possible to travel and perform multiple transactions with cryptocurrencies, of course, for now this is only possible in certain countries where acceptance is considerable, but still a great challenge, there is much to be done so that more companies accept cryptocurrencies.

It's a risk, yes, and even if country is cryptocurrency friendly that still doesn't mean you can use crypto for everything you want. We all know how limited is the number and variety of goods and services that could be bought with cryptocurrencies.
The only solution for that to my opinion is crypto debit card. Is not direct use of cryptocurrencies but it's the only way you can be sure you could use them everywhere you want.

I think this is a great story. I am happy for her, this is a very good experience. She gained knowledge about bitcoins and cryptocurrency, and also made an interesting journey. I would also like to make such a journey
July 08, 2019, 10:24:41 PM
For sure she also used Cash in some instances because even though most of her packages accepts bitcoin but on those countries some needs also cash for payments
But this is some good encouragement for cryptonians specially Bitcoiners who’s expecting this kind of luxurious activities in future using their digital assets
And ofcourse my dream as well since when everyone I wanna spend my crypto for traveling,I need to convert to fiat first before spending

This is possible as long as the places that she visits are all accepting Bitcoin payments. I think she planned well her travels and expenses as it is unwise that you will just tour any places directly with just depending on Bitcoin only for all of your future expenses on the road.

It will took a lot of research, looking for traveling needs that can be payed through cryptocurrency would be difficult, unless you convert it to cash on your own, instantly. Hopefully it woul be easy for us in the coming years.

You never expect every place to accept bitcoin at this point but she can find places where bitcoin is accepted but i am not sure what you mean by the difficulty she is going through because of the bullish trend 
. If a merchant accepts bitcoin what is the difficult if the market trend is bullish 
.The only difficulty will be finding more places where you can spend your coins, i will not take up a challenge like that if i am travelling as i need to relax and enjoy the ride rather than straining myself while travelling, it is a good publicity stunt by that lady

This lady is just trying to get the fame lol. And she googled before? not once she's in the country? 
What a challenge
What a challengeHer fame will be good for bitcoin adoption. What's wrong with wanting to be famous? At least she goes out of the house.

Its a dream of every cryptocurrency holder, to purchase everything using it. Im sure there are a lot research before making this works because even a single country doesnt have that much crypto accepting stores. For now its possible if you can convert it to fiat then use it for travel but using it fully would be hard. Im sure China doesnt have a part on itinerary though.

- What are these 7 countries?
- What are these 16 cities?
and why should this be news? it seems that bitcoin is something that is in the rock bottom and that then needs an advertising campaign. Eventually all the countries of the world will accept bitcoin as a means of payment, we do not need to be doing this type of advertising

I would believe more the story from China, when that girl was not able to get some food and she filmed herself eating leftovers. Everyone can make a pretty face while faking something, look at what I was able to do, but too actually humiliate yourself in a way that doesn't serve your goal, there is no reason to fake it.
i'd say the goal was to gain some fame online and in that she was very successful. and that can be the explanation of why she did the things she did in those videos. otherwise i honestly found the whole thing very strange and unrealistic in many parts.

I don't trust this so called "journey".She might be using the good old cash,while pretending to use bitcoin.
Is there a way to verify that she's actually paying with bitcoin for all the goods and services that she gets?
Maybe sharing transaction IDs or posting some screenshots to her wallet.This still isn't trustworthy,but there must be a way to verify the purchases.

Well that's demanding a bit too much, after all, we strive for privacy here but I'm on the same page as you
To me, this looks like a publicity stunt and the way she abandoned her quest hints as money being her only objective for this so-called adventure.
Also, I checked her videos and a few places she uses 3rd party payment processors, so it's not actually paying with crypto, I could do the same basically by using my Wirex card:)
I spend crypto the merchant gets fiat.
And never trust youtubers, I remember how some channel that was building huts or pools with "primitive" technology was caught using excavators and power tools to actually doing their job.

this is certainly good news for crypto currency in particular and the block chain technology in general. The future is bright for crypto, there are lots of untapped potentials in this ecosystem of coins.
