How Lexie funds her travels
Lexie paid for her trips herself for the first year and a half. Later, she earned more money by working as a travel consultant for her family's travel agency. She also worked with brands and did marketing campaigns related to her travels.

She also learns how to travel to faraway and exciting places. When she is traveling, she only carries what she needs in a backpack. This includes her video equipment.
I simply wanted to push the limits of what I thought I could do with my life and see as much of the world as possible in the process.
