World Travel... For Free?

Sound wonderful, doesn't it? Hopping onto a plane and taking a flight to the destination of your choice. Imagine collecting your flight tickets to New York, London - or wherever you fancy - and not having to pay a cent for them.

This is actually a reality for a few people. How? It's just because they have a travel secret, which is that many companies would pay your travel expenses for you to oversee their package or document from one country to another. Now this may bring to mind images of having to smuggle a microfilm past some dodgy Russian customs ala James Bond, but the reality is nowhere near as exciting or dangerous - which is great news for the budget traveler. The even better news is that with a little know how, any adult can act as a courier and score free and deeply discounted flight tickets to the destination of their choice.

This is a legal act, and you can save lots of money this way. Courier companies are always looking for willing travelers to carry their items to different places around the globe. You should know that everything is perfectly legal, and the traveler is paid with a plane ticket that can either be free or very cheap. A survey from the Air Courier Association tells us that travelers acting as couriers can get up to 85% savings on airfare. You wouldn't be able to get a discount quite like this at any travel agent.

So if you were to act as a courier, what would your responsibilities be? It's really quite simple; you only have to arrive at the airport on time and meet the courier company's representative at the destination airport. As soon as you walk through the customs area at your destination, your job is over.

So what are the disadvantages of acting as a courier? Firstly, only one carry-on bag is allowed, so you'll have to learn to pack light. You should also be flexible with your travel dates, but most of the time, you can get many flights well in advance. You should also be at least 18 years old and have a valid passport.

If all of these are fine with you, then you really can fly to different places in the world without spending much.

Ready to go? The whole world awaits you!
