Interesting experiment however it would be cool to see someone do it without using something like localbitcoins and without converting to fiat at all.

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 Smiley


You should try it! & $100 stayed with me! and I spent less than 1.9 btc in both countries!!!




This really excites me! I've got a three month trip to India comin up and was wondering if it would at all be possible to use crypto instead of fiat! When you say local bitcoins do you mean local people with bitcoin or a company called local bitcoin? Sorry for the dumb question! I just really am hoping to not have to keep exchanging money when going around India and Sri Lanka

Thanks in advance bud

It  is really awesome to know that someone did it. Your story is no doubt an inspiration to lots of folks out there.
For the avoidance of doubt BITCOIN is MONEY.
Am happy I belong to the Bitcoin community.

I would personally love to share a similar experience someday.

Great story for sure. It is experiences like these that need to be marketed in an organic way to the masses. Main stream needs to understand the material benefits that BTC offers to our everyday lives. It is the best counter to attacks on the concept by banks, government and Mr Dimon.

I have been travelling for the last 3 months and have used BTC where possible. Localbitcoins is a fantastic service and i have used it without a problem previously. More stories like this plz!

Wow.  What an amazing experience to have it.  I also want that to experience.  Actually I guess it is more safer because you do not have a big amount to show and less holduppers.  But I do not have that bitcoin as much as you.  I never have even one bitcoin.  I wish I could do that someday.

Guys here are asking how and shouldn't you hold btc forever! You lost the btc you spent!
Ok...Calm down!

First of all is btc to hold forever? Or to enjoy holding spending?

Second I am an investors! I made couple of very good ICO investments, and now I am holding a very decent share at Litra Coin.
YOU should buy into https://www.LITRA.site before you start crying!

Third if anyone here can guarantee he will be a live in the next hour! Let me know!

Fourth: The experience itself, worths every btc i spent! I have something unique and very exclusive to share! Not a lot of people can say I did that...And you should do the same!





Yes, I AM promoting Litra coin to be invested in and you should INVEST if you understand the mass adoption!
 You can go and read my posts about BTC reaching $4500 and more this year! ( When everyone was sayin no it will not!)


Always watch for the underdog moving.

It is your money so you can do whatever you want with it and since you seem to have a good amount of money in altcoins and bitcoin then that is a luxury that you can afford, you must understand that most people in the forum do not have that much bitcoin and that is why they will say they are going to prefer to save that bitcoin instead of spending it.

True, but again we should encourage mass adoption, then what is the point? Its not a stock you hold forever!

Wow, I like this idea!! I wanna try this now.

Could you please elaborate on your travels? How you bought the flight tickets? Food? What if you didn't find buyers in those countries? Did you book hotels in advance or on the spot?

You don't need me to go in details, just you know it can be done, it was done with someone exactly like you! You sit down... plan and go!

Bringing only bitcoin with you shows it is the most safest way in traveling because you might lost your paper money and credit cards in the streets from the bad guys thru stealing and trickster in which it might put you're life in danger. Avoiding credit card charging fees and interest are also a great factor and an excellent idea of not using them, you experiences just prove us that we could use bitcoin anytime and anywhere without hesitation.

Wow you can see that bitcoin is improving and even if you pay with it seems like nothing if you have like 10 bitcoins and someone takes a couple of thousand satoshi you won't even notice because it seems like nothing.

Stories like this aren't new but still I'm being inspired by it. Bitcoin has never really failed someone who gambled for situations like this  Cheesy. And so far bitcoin is really having a show, and it has been proved that it can be somehow an alternative of fiat. Because of the decentralization of bitcoin, it is very ideal to be used as an alternative to ease traditional fees from middleman and some traditional fees from banking companies. So the future is bright not only for bitcoin but for all cryptocurrencies.

Woah, spent less than 2 BTC in two countries and saved $305 on the fiat exchange - you're a role model for those who want to travel the world with only Bitcoins.  Smiley

Great !
This is really happening.
The world is no more CASHLESS, is SHITLESS.

Too strong power have been controlling the fee world for decades, earning too much money and not prevent any fraud or other such thing. With BTC now you have the power to change it - like you DID.

We like community have the duty to spread its power to the world and make it use it more and more
