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!!!

Truly an inspiring story mate and thank you for sharing and giving us idea how to travel with bitcoins only. I think this story should be published to a crypto news website such as cointelegraph.com so that others can see how bitcoin can be truly used outside of investment instrument. Maybe others wo would read this will make the same journey and really document it with video and post it in youtube where it can seen by million bitcoin enthusiast. Thank you as well for sharing and giving us inspiration mate.

Amazing story.
This will only prove to every disbeliever about the usefulness of bitcoin in the real world. It is not only a thing that can be used through internet and online shopping but can now truly be used almost as a real money.
And i thank everyone responsible for its materialization.

That is great experience! I would love to repeat it. But currently I have another kind important costs, I bought a house like a month ago and now I am doing some renovation inside of the house and it costs. So all my bitcoins are going on that and I think it's also great to have such support as bitcoin gives to me to solve that.

I think it is a good diving. I hope in the future there is a machine that can convert bitcoin into local currency with instant, so it will make it easier for us to travel or anything else.

Nice for you, I am so happy to hear that from a bitcoin user, meaning bitcoins has been accepted in the market already. so just as I suspected, bitcoin will take over in the market and be used in trade and business.

Yes it will, but we have a part to take it main street! Using it! Enjoy having it.

Well, it's nice to hear that.

Bitcoin has grown so much from 2012-2013 when people were first amazed that they could even convert bitcoin into real cash. Now, with localbitcoins, paxful, bisq and many others you are able to travel anywhere in the world and get their local currency with bitcoin, without having to resort to high forex conversion spreads that you have otherwise gotten.

Good job, and hope you enjoyed the trip

Thank you! I did, and I am enjoying the positive respond to my thread...

This is a great story, and i feel like this just proves how convenient bitcoin is. People should really stop saying that bitcoin is useless or whatever and hear this man right here. Of course, right now you still need to convert bitcoin into fiat whenever you want something but in future you should be able to just pay with bitcoin, directly.

You could have actually gotten more bang for your buck if you chose to wait and instead of selling to an offer, create your own offer on localbitcoins. That way, you take advantage of the spread and actually get more than spot price for your coins, instead of being disadvantaged because of the spread.

This is some kind of a test as well if there are many people who are already using bitcoin and as a result, you were able to save some unnecessary fees because of bitcoin. This is an inspiration as well to the people who would like to travel in other country using only bitcoin since bitcoin is use worldwide so there would be possibility that in every place you go, you can spend bitcoin directly to pay or find someone who will buy your bitcoin in exchange of their fiat currency there. Maybe one day, I would try this but for now, I would just accumulate as much as I can.

If you dont count hotel and airline, my whole trip to EGYPT( Food, traveling between, gifts) costed me $275 ( which is almost the fees I would pay with card and currency exchanges)

If I had to do this, I would keep a credit card and other payment options with me, because the places I want to see does not have a clue about Bitcoin. It takes balls to do this with only $100 in your pocket and hoping that you will not get scammed somewhere along the line. ^smile^

OP, something that would make this thread epic, would be if you could add some pictures of the places you have seen.

I did, I had it with me, but didn't use it!
