How To Travel The World For FreeTukshad Engineer It sounds like a dream doesnt it Hopping onto a plane and taking a flight to the destination of your choice. Imagine collecting your flight tickets to New York, London, Goa - or wherever takes your fancy - and not having to pay a cent for them. For a few people, this dream is actually a reality. How Simply put they have discovered a little travel secret - namely that a lot of companies will actually pay the travel expenses for you to oversee their package or document from one country to another. Now this may bring to mind images of having to smuggle a microfilm past some dodgy russian customs ala James Bond, but the reality is nowhere near as exciting or dangerous - which is great news for the budget traveller. The even better news is that with a little know how, any adult can act as a courier and score free and deeply discounted flight tickets to the destination of their choice. Its completely legal and can save you thousands in saved airfare every year. Courier companies are continually on the lookout for willing travellers to carry their items overseas. There is nothing sinister about it and nothing is hidden from the authorities - the traveller is paid with a deeply discounted and sometimes free air ticket. According to a survey by the Air Courier Association the standard saving that travellers get when they act as a courier is 85% on the normal flight price. There isnt a travel agent in the world that will match such a discount. So what are your responsibilities as a courier Well its as simple as turning up to the airport on time and meeting the courier companys representative at the destination airport. As soon as you walk through the customs area at your destination, your job is over. What are the drawbacks of this deeply discounted travel Well for a start youre probably only going to be allowed one carry on bag as your luggage - so learning how to travel light & pack efficiently is essential. Its also important to have some degree of flexibility in terms of when youre able to fly, though usually you can get many flights comfortably in advance. You also need to be at least 18 and obviously have a valid passport. Assuming youre ok with these drawbacks, you can really fly to just about any destination at incredibly low costs.
