Traveling can be very expensive. In some
cases, depending on where you decide to go, you can easily spend over a
thousand dollars on transportation, entry fees, and visas before you even set foot in another country.
For many aspiring travelers, financial
limitations are a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to overcome in order to
realize their travel ambitions. But thanks to people’s generosity and the
increasing popularity of crowd
funding, those dreams are able to become reality.
Crowd funding has
been around for centuries, but its essentially an effort to raise a funds for a
project or endeavor by collecting money from a large group of people, typically
from the Internet, according to Forbes Magazine.
