Zero Savings Sabbaticals for Black Women | Grown Up Gap Year A to Z

I taught English through Cambly online and was able to pull in about $300-$400 every week. I’ve learned that your biggest expense is going to be crossing over the Atlantic. Once you take care of your plane ticket, you can find very budget friendly accommodations all over the world. Back in 2016, I left for India and stayed for 4 months. I earned pocket change by writing blog articles and that’s was enough for me to buy food and budge friendly housing. I was dead broke when I got back home, but it was an incredible experience

I’ve watched a few older videos like this one and they are so helpful and inspiring to all women. Stephanie is fearless and helps me to feel like I can do the same.

I used VRBO one summer for a month in a beautiful home in Florida with swimming pool in a lanai, on a canal with boat dock and bay breezes. I paid $1,000 for 30 days including all utilities. It was so relaxing. The weather was better there, much better then Washington DC. The owners were so nice and accommodating. I stayed by myself but could have invited a friend or two had I wanted for the same price. I had to leave 3 days early because my mom died unexpectedly. I tried to follow the check out procedures but finally called and explained, they said don’t worry and my deposit was returned in full within a week. I mentioned about my mom only as an example that plans need to be flexible so vacation insurance is good if you can afford it. I drove, but had I been flying I could have been stuck.

I absolutely adore your channel Stephanie and I've been binge watching your videos for days. I'm feeling super inspired and finally feel "unstuck."

What a neat and financially supportive way to see the world!

I like how you gave practical ideas for regular folk.. During this crazy pandemic i found this video as I reevaluate my whole plan and feel more and more yearning to jump at that gap year.

Remind people who chose to work under the table, your at the mercy of your employer. Here in Thailand you can be banned from the country for 10 years if caught. Choose your country wisely....

They way you are providing all this information for free. Bless your soul!

I’m going to ease into it and take a month or 2 off.

Stephanie. Your page continues to bless me ❤️🙌🏾 And yes let’s get these reward points videos poppin

Loved all the creative ways you mentioned Stephanie!

Love this, Stephanie! I'm going to pass this along. For me, teaching abroad was a great option as well as caregiving as I did that in Miami Beach living on Hibiscus island for 5 months with full room and board and a very nice salary. I'm going to sign up for Rover, VIP kid and other tutor sites. I'm already on Trusted Housesitters. And, as you said, volunteering is also a great way to save on accommodations. I'm sign up with #helpstay. Great ideas!! This is what I've tried to pass onto friends who have grown children now. Travel the world without going through your retirement!! Thanks, Steph!!👍🏽✈

I enjoy my profession and so planning to do remote work while I travel, but this is Incredibly useful information! Thank you for sharing your experiences. Your channel gives me life!
