Trading Things for Experiences: The Travel Poor Life

I’d rather be “travel poor” than anything else. To me, travel is the best kind of wealth—collecting stamps in my passport, not dust on things I don’t need. Every trip gives me new stories, fresh perspectives, and memories worth more than any purchase. Being “travel poor” means I’m rich in sunsets, street food, and moments that make life unforgettable. That’s a trade I’ll make any day.
