\"Irresponsible<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Some mistakes are expensive. $2500 was the particular price tag of this one.<\/strong><\/p>\n

First and foremost, welcome to all the first-time readers who are clicking on this because nosey;<\/del>\u00a0I want to make sure you know that I\u2019m onto your ways, ha.<\/p>\n

Anyways, it\u2019s no secret that most bloggers are ashamed of the facepalm-worthy mistakes we\u2019ve made on our journey.<\/p>\n

But what good is having a platform if you don\u2019t humble yourself and show people the mistakes you\u2019ve learned from along the way.<\/p>\n

And though mistakes don\u2019t quite fit with our Instagram aesthetic, these blog posts are the next best thing.<\/p>\n

If there was ever a notion that I was perfect,\u00a0what are you smoking?!<\/del>, I want to swiftly dismantle that idea and remind you guys that I was living on $10\/day for the majority of my travels, never had a proper savings account until 2 years ago, and took more risks than doctors prescribe necessary.<\/p>\n

You know how they say it\u2019s best to travel while you\u2019re young? Well, it\u2019s not even about age. It\u2019s about the uncalculated foolery you\u2019re prone to on the way.<\/p>\n

You do\u00a0stoooopid @$%\u00a0<\/strong>things when you feel like you\u2019ve got nothing to lose.<\/p>\n

And now my ancient self is like, Yoooooo, 30-YEAR-OLD GLO WOULD NEVER!<\/strong><\/em> So thank God I got that out of my system when I did.<\/p>\n

Anyways, here\u2019s the backstory.<\/p>\n

It was 2018 and business was pawwwwpin.<\/h2>\n

I was getting pitched up to a dozen times a day.<\/p>\n

My blog was at its peak, features and reposts were a daily occurrence, and I had flown over 135,000 miles that year [mostly on the dime of brands], visited 30 new countries, and was living my got damn best life. Peep the video for a quick highlight reel!<\/p>\n
