- Dans ce talk en Anglais, Edouard Jacqmin nous parle de son expérience de voyager à travers l'Europe sans argent pendant 21 jours, et les conséquences que ce voyage a eu sur sa manière de voir les relations humaines.
La plupart d’entre nous rêvons de voyager. Mais beaucoup d’entre nous croient que nous ne pouvons pas à cause du manque d’argent. À 24 ans, j’ai voyagé en Europe de l’Est pendant 21 jours sans dépenser un seul centime. Un jour, j’ai vidé mon portefeuille et j’ai décidé de prendre la route. Traversant 5 pays différents, j’ai appris au cours de cette aventure incroyable 4 leçons que nous pouvons tous appliquer dans notre vie quotidienne.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
This guy has learnt how to live life the best way...through traveling!
Absolutely 🤟
Hitchhiking - that’s how I met my wife!
I was bored one winters day in cold cold Winnipeg, couldn’t wait for spring. Two other other male friends and I decided to stage a hitchhiking race to Fargo, North Dakota, about 150 miles away. We had to take backroads only, not freeways. Then we realized we needed some girls to join us, in order to appear more harmless to the potential drivers. We rounded up two girls we knew, and one of them had a roommate who said she would come along.
We drew straws to see who would join who, in three guy/girl pairs, and dropped ourselves off a mile apart. We met truck drivers, cowboys, good hearted country folk who joined in the spirit of the fun, as first one couple, then the next, took the lead.
That evening we all went out for some dining and dancing, and I met the third girl. We were married about a year after that.
guy that's an amazing story:))
this needs to become a movie :-0
communication is everything.
His message really touched me. I'm afraid of rejection, feel uncomfortable to communicate with strengers and not adabtable to change. Thanks for the msg.
I were same as you 6months ago but i take up the challenge to talk to strangers and man i can say that the experience was simply amazing, i have now lot of friends. So do take actions
communication is everything.
Nothing, absolutely nothing replaces the experiences you earn while you travel to know and to be with people.
I enjoyed this, great perspective on rejection and lesson on being fearless while asking and receiving.
MsMonique Love totally agree!
For women, hitchhiking may not always be a good idea. The cost refers more to safety I guess, but anything that is risky is getting out of your comfort zone.
I agree. Some countries are even worst than others to women.
Being safe is not about comfort zone, it's about... Being safe!
I really loved this talk, so inspiring!
Thank u very much Edward for sharing yr most valuable lesson: Rejection vs. Reaction!
you dont travel anywhere without a simple smile in your face....
This guy just opened my eyes
This one of the best TED talk about travelling that I’ve heard!! Just do it!!
Oh My God! That's what I needed to see. I could do just like he did.
This guy has said soooooo well with Deep meaning
Super awesome!!!! Super thanks for sharing!!! Thanks!!!
JUST AMAZING!!
In other words the power of a simple SMILE can get you far in life!
Fantastic!
Interesting story. What is more interesting is the fact that he was philosophical about his experiences and he learnt the most from this. I wouldn't do what he did, though.
Great job!
it's very outstanding journey 💜
love it !
Man as a woman I wish it were that easy, I would only ever feel safe taking a couch from another female.
I guess it also works the other way: you'll probably have more chance asking women a couch than him...
Use the couch surfing instead?
I have been using couchsurfing for the past 4 years, I hitchhiked everywhere. You learn how to know if your life is in danger or not, so do it, cause it's the best experience I have. Hitchhiking, couchsurfing, ... are amazing experiences
So true!!! Same for cars 😁
Yeah I hate how dangerous we have made the world
Great video 😍
This is both travel and dating advice!
The best option you can have
I know I'm late.....but God bless u man.🙏👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
All Edourd`s insights were totally resonated in my heart and I really amazed his fearlessness, courage and his trust to stranges. And, of course, I will not be able to make the same travel even for 3 days as for me it is not reachebale
I just loved this 🥺
course you do, women who marry rich man are just freeloaders their whole life
Great man. wow...
I like it, I learnt from it.
This is interesting,it's nice to travel all the world over, experience new things
You got guts bro .
So nice
Nice ted talk for me i learn here rejection is a part of life
Sheesh, I want to do this now. Hella scared of hitch hiking tho
Big brother you are inspired me 💯❤️
Amazzzzzziiiinnnnnggggggggggg
Nice bro
it's difficult to travel without many.
When some time i travell and mobile switch off then i realise, face to many difficulties and you travel country it's so dangerous I appreciate you courage
Ive been wanting to do this for a long time, but Ive been holding back. But, I think that before the weather gets cold, Ill want to hitchhike across Canada -- From Toronto to Newfoundland. I have friends in Nova Scotia and I've been wanting to visit them, but going on an adventure this way sounds WAY more interesting!!
I just have to quit my job for the time being and just go!
Geez, great idea. I cant wait! I think ill do it in November, give them a bit of a notice :) :)
Good luck Michael!! I hope you have a great time :))
You're taking a big risks quitting your job. Unless you are making income thru alternative means. How could you be with a sound mind knowing you have no money coming in or even worst coming from travels with no job to fall back on. Where you are maybe is it easy to just find another job or maybe you have advanced degrees or some major skills most don't. I still wish you luck on your endeavors. Do what you feel.
How was your trip, Michael?
You'll be fine since Canadians are so nice and helpful! ;p
I wanna know about your trip Mike
I won’t travel without money because I love 5 stars hotels :) but it’s a good lesson about how to deal with rejection and how to be grateful for the simple things we have in life that we take for granted most of time.
Not all are rich like you 🤣
@@mohtashimrazi1642 I'm not reach but I work hard to get what I want ;) And I can afford to go in 5* hotels because I benefit from wholesale prices through a private travel club membership affordable to everyone. Having acces to the right deals helps a lot ;)
@@velvetdeyla1265 do you mind saying what the club is or how to go about getting in? Or is it not accesible to the general public?
@@blaisestritt8177 yes it is accessible to everyone. Although, you need to know a member in the club to become one. I’m not a member anymore but I can put you in touch with a friend who is still there that can help you to know more about it ans explain you how to register.
Buenísimo
I also travel without money
how
Me too 😅
How do you make sure you stay safe when hitchhiking?? I'm a girl, and I've heard so many horror stories about hitchhiking, I'm not sure if I'd feel safe doing it.
Honestly as a girl everything is so different. It's sad that it's that way but it's just the reality of life I guess. It's better to do it with hosts. I think you will meet lots of great people who will not do you any harm for sure if you compare it to random people out on the street.
I will go on a journey come with me from India
Watch on youtube
girl solo traveler
Girl (especially asian girl) is different from white man. Perhaps inspiration from white man is not applicable for us.
I've hitchiked for 6 years in the USA and all I can say for you girls that want to know how to stay save is bring a dog. I've met 100s of solo female travelers and they always had a dog
it reminds me of johann sebastian bach who did traveling all over germany
As a woman I am NOT doing hitch hiking. Period. I'd rather travel by bike👍
What's the utube channel of edouard jacquin ?
I am Ukrainian it was nice to hear story about Ukrainian driver;)
my friend julian do that all the time... you talk ust like him 😁
julien delius ???
i follow him
Just read the art of making friends and measure the roads.
I come from a humble background and still trying to get my life were I want it. But I would never put myself through this.
For Women, Safety is utmost priority.
O MAN SERIOUSLY
It’s a good challenge experience but is it safe to do like that for girls or women also?
Go with ur male bestfriend or boyfriend or husband or with any male partner...and enjoy journey
I wouldn't do it. I am not scared of rejection, I am scared of rapists ... But that's just me. I'd rather travel by bike with very little money. I grew up in poverty too so I don't feel the need for that challenge.
How do you make ur visa with no money
its the UE
If only it was 4 years ago
"For free" he meant with othe's people money...
3 weeks? I can probably do 3 weeks.
How about visa ??
He travelled in the European Union and he is from the EU too so no visas needed :)
What 1000km that's within half India here. What's the fun in that?
how did u pay for visa fees?
No hard feelings but I felt your Ted talk beginning was the copy of Tomislav Perko's speech.
I have only one question, You still have to pay for Visa costs right?
No, he's from the UE and the country he visited also, so no VISA :)
In corona period if we travel we can only give corona to each other 😂
What about passports u doing...
Why there’s so many people just don’t concern about their own safety and let a random guy entering their house?
Would that works in Latin America? Mmm
Don't even try 😂😂😂
Yes I've done it in Mexico and Guatemala :)
Why the restaurants need other people to pay but cook free food for this guy?
Would it be easy for a person of color or even a woman ?
I would be horrified, this idea of travelling alone is so difficult and alien to me, talk about sleeping at unknown people's houses, hitchhiking, but now I wish I were a guy so maybe my safety points will increase.
@@tanmayik2397 life can be unsafe for either gender, while yes it seems scarier as woman, if you think about it, this guy sleeping in a strangers home is just as vulnerable as a woman sleeping in a strangers home. in the end its really about the courage to do it because bad things can come and get you whether youre doing everything in your life safely or going out on a limb following your dreams
because people no money
I have 5000 hours in Gary vee
Inspiré par Nus & Culottés ? ;)
He stayed 21 days withoth bath. He smells.
All ideas are copied from other ted talks.
from tomislar perko
Yeah
6:15 you can sleep at my place anytime boy 🥵
😥
A single woman its more risky

yeah, how do you travel without money?? You let other people pay for it. They are nice and you are smart,
Hahaha yeahh that's what I thought too, somehow taking advantages of others.
21 days he says with such Proud. Dude, it's nothing, some people do it for year, stop bragging
Some people do it for almost a lifetime, like certain types of monks.
traveling without money is a totally wrong atitude, as shareing is careing. a present and some bugs go a long way. When i get picked up while traveling, i usually put some money in my hand and give it to the driver when i feel it would be a good thing to do or invite people who really did a lot for me. And presents go a long way. This way of traveling is egocentric and falls under the definition of BEGbacking
While it isn't how I would ever travel and I think to do it with zero money is a bit much I think the idea that only people with money should be allowed to do things is a horrible one.
@@psiico24 it's not really about needing massive sums of cash or being rich. It's about you bearing the burden of your travels not somebody else. If you don't have much money try to make some on the road or exchange labour for things you need like food and accommodation or spend less by camping or even dumpster diving. It's when people say they travel for "free" when In reality they are spending money just not their own, that gets people riled up.
Dont listen to this guy. it's absolute nonsense and he is clearly raised rich anyway. TED talks usually are horrible anyway.
True that, can tell he’s never had to work for money.
great video, too bad you just copied the format of the old ted talk of Tomislav Perko... sometimes words by words... idk just be yourself man ! you're teaching freedom and self imporvement and you can't afford being you ? the morality is broken for me. Really too bad.
The acceptable hot comprehensively present because change delightfully rock among a eatable macaroni. eatable, accurate bank
An international beggar, get a job! Stop asking other people to support you when you are capable
Travelling??? Thanks but no thanks; I’m happy working, travel to me is an overrated waste of time and money.
What satisfaction is given to you working? You will be old one day and realize you know nothing of the world... To each his own..
How do you make ur visa with no money
