Help keep me alive and healthy by becoming a sponsor!

The Benefits of Becoming a Sponsor:

Your sponsorship will ensure the continuation of my blog.

You will sleep soundly in the knowledge that I have eaten.

You will have my undying gratitude.

If you ask me, those are some pretty darn good reasons to become a sponsor.

But, If you still aren’t convinced, and are the type of person that needs something tangible in return for your hard earned money, below are a few more incentives for you to become a sponsor.

Rewards Program:

      Ahmed! Thanks for your 20 pounds! I really appreciate it brother. I’m going to save it for when I come back to Cairo and buy you a glass of Aseer Asup (sugarcane juice). Cheers-Leif

    Hey man, good work, inspiring reads and great info. I am busking in Avignon S france, you got any advice or info on the place? Also.. the 500 pm to live in Antibes, maybe you can explain in more detail what it is i have to do.. staying there for a few months in order to qualify may be tricky.. Hope you are well…

      Hey Josef,
      To be honest, given the financial troubles, it’s possible the french government has discontinued their 500 euro/month deal.
      But if you can still get it, you need to apply at the social service center. Most homeless guys can tell you where it is. Good luck!

    Howdy Leif,

    We’re really inspired by your blog — style and content are top notch! We are traveling in New Zealand now and plan to be in Nepal a little later this year. I’m very interested to know the name and or contact info of the “Runaway Retreat” you’ve written about in Bardia National Park. We are definitely gonna head that way.

    Love,

    Dennis & Becca

    Hi Leif! I kind of sort of broke and I’m not at all religious or spiritual so I can’t pray for you or anything, but keep traveling. You’re an awesome person who leads an inspiring life, and when I’m out of school I plan on backpacking quite a bit. Safe travels!

    Hey Leif I just wanted to say i’m a huge fan of your blog and you along with many others have inspired me to backpack/travel around the world. I’m looking to head out in the next year or so and I was wondering if you were interested in traveling with me. I’m very new to this but I really would like to live the lifestyle you do. The adventures, the experiences, the freedom you experience sounds all too amazing. Please get back to me at ibndjallen@yahoo.com thank you.
    Best regards from New York

    Hey leif! Just swung you $10! I hope that when and if you eventually get to Peru, you can spend it on few rounds of Cusquena during a night out in Cusco, in the plaza de armas, ;) ! So glad that I stumbled across your blog, definitely inspiring me to keep saving so that I can head off again on my own trip in a few weeks! All the best mate!
