]]>She’s only 21, but that doesn’t stop her from traveling the entire globe, and here’s how she accomplished this ambitious goal according to her recent interview with Forbes.
Supportive Parents
Alford’s parents own a travel agency in California, and they’ve encouraged her to explore the world from a very young age.
“My parents placed a lot of importance on exposing me to every way of life around the world and that had a very profound impact on the person I am today. I’ve always had a curiosity about other people’s ways of life and how they find happiness.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ashgabat is possibly the strangest city in the world. It’s full of sterile white marble buildings and bizarre gold monuments like this one. And there’s literally no one around to see it

The young travel enthusiast never goes anywhere without doing proper research, and she managed to save a lot of money by doing brand deals and campaigns.
“I do a lot of research in advance to find the best deals, utilize points and miles for my flights, stay in cheap accommodation like hostels or create content for hotels in exchange for accommodation.”
Saving Money
Alford is working as a travel consultant at her family’s agency when she’s not traveling, and the list of her expenses is not very long.
“I’ve also made sure to keep my monthly overhead as low as possible by living at home with my parents, I don’t have a car payment or student debt and I don’t spend my money on unnecessary material possessions.”
I honestly did a terrible job planning my trip in Sri Lanka. I usually try to get away from cities and tourist traps to get a more authentic feel for the country I’m visiting. Choosing the path less traveled can occasionally/inevitably lead to unexpected complications, wasted time and frustration. Sometimes we miss once in a lifetime opportunities. Sometimes our experiences don’t live up to the expectations we created in our minds. And that’s to be expected! Being able to accept that things didn’t go the way you wanted them to and making the best of it anyway is a really important life lesson traveling has taught me. This photo reminds me that even mistakes can result in something awesomely unexpected
