The post Roxana Mihailescu is Traveling the World After Leaving Law School Behind appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>Mihailescu is a travel blogger from Romania, who fell in love with traveling during family trips as a child. She still fondly remembers her first trip to Turkey at the age of eight, when she was starstruck exploring old buildings, mosques, and crowded bazaars with her dad – and she wanted this feeling to last forever.
She decided to study law after finishing high school, but her sense of wanderlust was stronger. Volunteering with AIESEC in China and Egypt was a turning point, and she decided to keep traveling solo after getting her law degree.
“In 2019 I was in college, a burnt-out law student with not much of an idea of what I wanted from life. I just knew I had this strong desire to see the world, but I thought I needed to have a ‘real job’ to be validated by society. Now I know that’s not true, but I also know that Law school built my strong personality,” she wrote on her Instagram.
Mihailescu is now followed by over 100,000 people on Instagram and 70,000 more on TikTok, and she’s using her platform to help other young women explore the world on their own without spending a fortune.

]]>Nick and Raychel spent their early 20s living paycheck to paycheck in Vancouver, and traveling the world seemed out of reach. Something shifted in 2017, when they decided to leave it all behind and embark on an epic journey with only $1,500 each in their pockets.
Since they didn’t have a lot of savings or a trust fund to rely on, they had to get crafty and learn everything there is to know about budget travel, and they now want to share their knowledge with the world.
“I hate that society has made us believe that travel is only reserved for the elite, I hate that regular people who work hard for their money are still spending thousands of dollars in flights, paying too much for overpriced hotels, and not utilizing the resources that we have at our fingertips,” Raychel writes in the couple’s free travel guide.
From booking cheap flights and working abroad to exploring the ups and downs of van life, Nick and Raychel experienced many facets of budget travel. Their desire to live nomadically and avoid high rent costs inspired them to spend some time traveling in a retired ambulance van, but they eventually took a break from it while living and working in New Zealand.

]]>Jackson recently shared a clip on social media that documents his daily commute in the city of Chongqing, China. It starts with him heading down his 18-story apartment building that has no elevator to the 12th floor, which is surprisingly also a ground floor.
The TikToker then takes a subway that goes through residential buildings before arriving at the city square. But as it turns out, the square is actually 22 stories above ground.
Once he gets off from work, Jackson decides to take the bus, but it’s once again a wild ride.
Jackson’s video ended up getting more than 31 million views and 22K comments. Internet users were equal parts impressed and puzzled.
“Does Google maps work here? Do any maps work here? How do maps work here!!,” one person wrote.
“With my sense of direction I will leave home one day and never return,” another added.
