According to recent media reports, a man residing in Spain managed to travel through the capitals of 23 EU countries without spending a penny, covering a distance of nearly 10,000 miles (approximately 16,000 kilometers) in 165 days, perfectly embodying the essence of budget travel. Are you curious about how he accomplished this?
Kris Mole, a 24-year-old currently residing in Spain, was inspired by a charity challenge to embark on a budget trip through the capitals of 23 EU countries by hitchhiking and train hopping.
Kris established seven rules for his travels: no credit cards; visit all EU member capitals located on the European continent; say YES to everything; accept any non-cash donations; update his blog; start challenges in unfamiliar countries; and not let women influence his challenges.
During his budget travels, Kris received help from many kind-hearted individuals along the way. The countries he visited included Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden.
He asked his father to pay for a one-way ticket to Stockholm, Sweden, from where he began his journey. Over the course of 165 days, he visited the capitals of 23 EU member countries without spending a single penny, covering nearly 16,000 kilometers. Mole often went hungry for days, occasionally staying with kind strangers, and at one point in Slovakia, he was taken in by a hotel where he worked in exchange for food and lodging. After achieving his goal, Mole, now settled in Spain, published a book about his experiences titled "Adventuring in Europe."
Are you intrigued by this? If so, you might consider immigrating to Spain. According to immigration experts, Spain's new immigration policy has extended the validity period for residence renewals, with no strict residency requirements. After the main applicant immigrates, their parents, as well as the parents of their spouse, minor children, adult disabled children, or adult unmarried economically dependent children can simultaneously obtain residency. By purchasing a property worth 500,000 euros, one can apply for immigration without needing to prove the source of funds, truly allowing one person to buy a house and three generations to benefit. Favorable policies will attract more property investors; if you need to immigrate, you should invest promptly. For Spanish immigration inquiries, call 400-138-2929.
