Also, the strait of Bering is not that large.
I've never heard someone call it the strait of Bering before.
who the fuck wants to tramp around russia? good way to get drone striked or sent to the front in a meatwave
Travel is great if that's your thing. But I've always despised privileged entitled douchebags who use travel as a big flex, and a metric to judge others with.
The courage comes from having enough money to solve any known or unknown problem situations.
Maybe he meant you need the courage to stowaway on your preferred mode of transport.
e.g. the YouTuber gifgas travels by stowawaying on freight trains
or maybe you need the "courage" to rob a bank to get the money to pay for the travel expenses ๐
I guess they meant you can travel locally or don't be afraid of going into debt? But that would still mean it's a matter of money
this guy probably doesn't know what he's talking about but you can, in fact, travel without money. just not very far, very fast, or to a guaranteed location. i hitchhiked all around europe during my studies on semester breaks when i had lot of time and no money... i slept under bridges in a cheap sleeping bag or under a tarp on an alpine meadows and ate the cheapest grocery store items that didn't need cooking. i typically spent less while traveling than i would have spent if i stayed home (especially if i didn't need to pay rent during the summer).
grocery store items
And this works without money ... how? Let me guess, your charm?
Courage.
Stealth
I mean obviously travelling fast is costing money.
But walking is free. Except for food.
Amd you could hire on a ship to work. It will take a few months until you get where you want to be. But you earn money while doing it.
I'm incredibly lucky to have parents whose jobs took us out of the USA. It's one of the things that made up for living in awful places like Louisiana and Arkansas. We weren't wealthy at all, and had to live with relatives at multiple points, but seeing how people in Europe and Asia lived opened my eyes.
Guess I'll swim away.
Not all of them, clearly. If you avoid doing things due to a fear of dieing, you will never live. Being alive is not the same as living. Someone is a coma is alive, but they arent living. Living in fear is a half life. By your logic, we should never drive anywhere, because of the number of people who die in car accidents. We should not have skyscrapers, or power lines, or bridges, because the construction and maintainace of them is really dangerous and people could die.
