Personality

; Personality ;
Curious and energetic, Baron is one of the biggest travellers. His open mind and philosophical view motivates him to wander around the world in search of the meaning of life. Baron is an extrovert, optimistic and enthusiastic, and likes changes. Baron is able to transform his thoughts into concrete actions and will do anything to achieve his goals. Baron needs to be constantly in touch with the world to experience as much as possible.

Freedom is his greatest treasure, because only then, and only then can he freely travel and explore different cultures and philosophies. Because of his honesty, Baron is often impatient and tactless when he needs to say or do something, so it's important to learn to express himself in a tolerant and socially acceptable way.

Strengths: Generous, idealistic, great sense of humor
Weaknesses: Promises more than can deliver, very impatient, will say anything no matter how undiplomatic
Favourite colour: Blue

Skills

"There was no way I could have travelled to Tibet and spent two years abroad without building up what I call independent travel skills. These are the practices that enabled me to thrive in foreign cultures.
I will explain these skills in the hope that future travellers, and people who feel trapped by their circumstances, will be able to prepare psychologically for independent travel."

Saving Money

"I used to think that lack of money was the main barrier to independent travel but actually it’s the least important on these skills. What I found was that when you have a plan — well, in my case, a destination — and some determination, the money comes together surprisingly easy. Saving up is about not spending money on the usual things (like “going out”) and there are many other way of raising money from friends, family, local businesses or sources like Kickstarter."

Living Cheaply & Travelling Light

"Living as cheaply as possible is essential for the independent traveller but this isn’t easy for someone who’s used to staying in hotels and doing the tourist circuit. You can practise this skill on holidays and weekends by camping, hitchhiking, staying in hostels, trying couch surfing and staying with friends of friends. Eventually you’ll reach the point when you realise that comfort and privacy aren’t actually as important as many people believe (and if you don’t come to this conclusion then independent travel isn’t for you). On the baggage front the key is to take the smallest possible; in my experience the bigger the bag the more stuff I take."

Being Open to Other Cultures

"Independent travel would be no fun if you weren’t open to other cultures. For me the turning point came in a Thai jungle where I realised that life in a primitive village is a lot more interesting than I had suspected. From then on I observed different ways of life and learned to listen to peoples’ perspectives of politics and history without contradicting them. I’ve been doing it ever since and it keeps me curious, fresh and optimistic."

Understanding Risk

"A lot of people, and their parents, worry about being robbed or cheated and it does happen — but if you have the right attitude you’ll be fine. I think the essential ingredient here is confidence as that helps you evaluate each situation calmly, to avoid panic and to take the right decision. My approach is to to trust people, however dodgy they may look, but not get too familiar with them. The key word is respect: if people can see that you respect them they will serve you and protect you; but if they suspect that you’re looking down on them they may feel humiliated and want to hurt you. But you have to strike the right balance so that you’re not too reserved but neither gushing, over-friendly or gullible."
