GoWild! …Now What?
The flight is basically free. Bags cost money, seats cost money, being scared you won't be able to get home without paying big bucks and stressing over it, is a thing.
These things are all easy to overcome. Some of us have figured out all the hacks to traveling on a whim, for as long as we like, to great places, and we meet awesome people.
I decided to make a list of tips and tricks for maximizing your experience, and actually feeling free to use the pass without paying all the fees or stressing out about hotel bills.
The GWP has opened a door for me, but it's not all. Changing how I think about travel, where I stay, how to not only endure long layovers, but enjoy them and even seek them out. I have stopped paying so much for rideshare and taxis and rental cars, and I now embrace the typically very good public transit situations.
For those of you who do the same, please comment and add your own suggestions and tips I have missed here.
This is what I have so far...
