I think that the use of bitcoins in traveling will bring great experience. We all know that bitcoin is decentralised and canvassing cost may be made easier when services can be paid directly in bitcoins.
It's great and inspiring reading experiences like these because it makes us feel more secured in the use of bitcoins. And that the use of bitcoin in traveling is real.

I think if you asked the opinion of bitcointalk's members, before leaving on your trip, on your idea and what you are going to do all the users will give you negative answers and you will receive enormously negative waves. But thanks to your courage and your determination you have completed an adventure far from being realizable later.
You are totally right, and I couldn't agree more with you, but it was an adventure, and it was worth it, I would listen to this forum members couple of years ago, but now! NO! Do then share! But don't ask to do.Many negative trash waste of time people here now.
You dont have to listen to all those trash and recieve thoe negatives waves, you just need a lot of motivation and determination with a good company in order to have a very funny moments. And remember, the most important thing is to be optimistic about your adventure !!
That's very good but bitcoin is very changeable so sometimes when price is high and you decide to exchange, you can lose some $ like there was fall couple weeks ago. If I understand correctly you where meeting persons face to face to exchange btc? This would help you to save atm withdraw fees? Am I right? On another hand what about XAPO card in such situation? As I know you can usw their card worldwide and atm withdraw has fixed fee.
That is another option, you can use a bitcoin debit card to withdraw money from ATM all over the world, that way you will not have to deal with people and the risk that entails but even then I think the strategy of the OP was bold but it show to us that in a few years traveling and using only bitcoin is going to become a lot more common. 
That is great experience. I suppose bitcoin ATMs there are in every big city now, so that wasn't a problem for you to cash out your coins. I can only dream to do something like this now, I just joined the forum and my bitcoin savings are not so big yet.
how were you able to pay for food and souvenirs with bitcoins? are they popular in Egypt? That sounds very interesting given that I'm always paranoid with my wallet when I'm traveling.
My journey started on Sep 21, from Boston to NYC, flight to Egypt then Turkey, back to Boston! Carrying $100 just in case and 3 bitcoins in my wallet!
Fuck If I will ever carry credit card, or cash any more:
1- I used Localbitcoins for cash! Search for best local currency rate!
2- How much I save from credit card fees and Fiat exchanges: $305.
3- Is it save to deal with Localbitcoins in person overseas? Yes, so amazing nice guys, you are making friends
You should try it! & $100 stayed with me! and I spent less than 1.9 btc in both countries!!!

Wow man, that’s really awesome. You actually did what I was dreaming for like, my whole time here in the crypto world. I really wish i could do the same. To be able to travel anywhere using just bitcoins. That would be the greatest thing i would ever do in my whole life.
That's pretty incredible. I wish there was like a global service that exchanges Bitcoins for all currencies with international presence. Most are local right now. That might be too big of an operation for with very few users though.
Good job dude! However you shouldn't be spending your Bitcoin right now. How will you feel when in 5 years they are quadruple or more of the value right now. Good experience but don't do it again.
Can you guarantee I am going to be alive an 1 hour from now? I bought btc when it was $104! Plus I am investing in Litra, so no matter what i am going to have 5x-10x within 3 months.
Money is way to enjoy life! BTC is just making it more exciting fun and chance to meet other awesome guys!
This I understood you. You have nice concept of living.
Most people would stop themselves from spending BTC but none of us have assurance we'll still be here by the time BTC have higher prices than NOW.
Great you bought BTC early.

A very pleasant experience of course, maybe next time I will try it. Bitcoin is indeed something magical, and will continue that way.
At the current price it is safe to travel with BTC. It would be a real adventure if you had tried it a year or two earlier!

Wow I don't even know that many shops have now interest in getting bitcoin as their mode of payment. By that it says that we don't need fiat money anymore Fuck If I will ever carry credit card, or cash any more:

And I believe that it is great.
Bitcoin helps us a lot while we travel between countries.I think it is the main benefit of bitcoin that I'm interested in.It is good to travel with bitcoin with out having hassles of exchanging currency and carrying a bunch of credit cards.In the future I expect bitcoin everywhere so that it will be more easy for us to travel abroad and buy things there with having to convert into their currency.

Awesome! Very interesting 'experiment'. Hope you had fun and maybe you should do it again in the future
Wow that's awesome dude. This will make me work hard for bitcoin more because i love travelling all over the world. But more interesting is to travel with the digital currency which cost you less than the actual traditional currency. Great to hear this from you !
To travel the world is an ideal. I'm going to do it in summer)
Wow, I wish I could do the same thing soon. 
I have always heard people here saying they will spend money on travels or buying for routine life, but I feel your story shall be an inspiration for many of us, who would like to use Bitcoin over cash, just out of curiosity, the prices were preety much fluctuating, did you had a contingency plan, Incase the price went to low. I am sure many will take your story as a example, but not all are lucky to have 3 Bitcoins to spare.
Hahaha I think the backup plan is the $dollar. But that is a bit scary when something like a huge dumping happen and you are in the last stop away from home and needs a lot of money to go back.
This story of yours prove that bitcoin can be use as a substitute from fiat but also proves the the volatile price of bitcoin is really a huge disadvantage. Maybe someday there will be a software that can freeze the bitcoin value that you want and unfreeze it whenever you want.

great stuff! planning to do that as well but have to choose a bullish month so my bitcoin will keep going up even if I keep spending haha
It's sounds great, traveling with bitcoin and $ 100 only, maybe someday I can follow your trail, traveling to Japan where there are many places that receive payment with bitcoin, if for now I have not been able to do it because my bitcoin amount in my wallet not much and in my country only one city that receive payment with bitcoin, and even then only for hotel, whereas for other purposes still have to use fiat or card, so for now on i only develop bitcoin that i have by trading so later i have enough bitcoin to realize my dream to travelling with bitcoin to Japan
