A man who has visited every country in the world has shared a travel hack that has saved him thousands of dollars. 

Luca Pferdmenges, 23, who is originally from Germany, started traveling when he was just 14.

An avid juggler, he would jet off to various cities in Europe to perform at juggling conventions, and along the way, he developed a fierce passion for exploring the globe.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020 and his juggling career came to a halt, he decided that once the world opened back up, he was going to start traveling full-time. 

He then made it his goal to visit every country on the planet, and just five years later, he’s now spent time in all 195 of them.

After taking hundreds of flights and staying at hotels, Airbnbs, and hostels all around the world, Luca has wracked up a slew of travel tips for making the experience easier.

He’s also uncovered a method that he insists has saved him a ton of money.

He explained during a recent chat with the Daily Mail that he ‘creates his own layovers’ when he’s traveling, and it’s cut the cost of flights down immensely.

‘Often, you can travel a lot cheaper by searching from [your location] to [all destinations] (like on a meta search engine like Skyscanner),’ he explained.

‘And then you go step by step through the cheapest results and try to ‘connect’ them to another flight. 

‘So maybe the cheapest flight was to Budapest, then you open another tab and search in Budapest to everywhere. 

‘Often you will already see connections that were previously very expensive [for much cheaper]. That was one of the best tricks that enabled me to travel very cheaply.’

He also said he’s saved money by traveling ‘off season’ and staying in ‘hostels’ rather than hotels.

‘Often, accommodation is the biggest expense in a country,’ he explained. 

And if you do decide to stay in a hotel and you’re heading to a big city with tons of options, he said it’s best to wait until last minute because they might offer you a good deal to fill up an empty room.

‘Often in the big [cities] you can find last minute same-day deals. In those places, there is so much competition among good hotels,’ he said.

‘And before a room stays empty all night, they will lower the price throughout the day. I have stayed in five-star hotels in Dubai for 20 euros per person.’

‘You effectively get a free all-you-can eat at every airport, saving a lot of money on food,’ he explained.

Lastly, he said it’s vital to ‘pack as little as possible’ since checking a bag often comes with a hefty fee.

‘Most of my travels I have done with one backpack only,’ shared the travel pro. ‘It’s lighter, cheaper and more convenient. 

‘You will never have to wait for your luggage and you’re also more flexible.’

Luca has documented his journey on Instagram and TikTok, where he’s racked up more than 256,000 and 3.1 million followers respectfully.

The avid traveler, who says he lives off his social media income, estimated that he’s spent around $116,000 on travel expenses over the last five years.

‘I wouldn’t recommend it because one does give up a lot for [this lifestyle],’ Luca said.

‘You’re almost never home, don’t see friends and family a lot and it’s also a very expensive endeavor. 

‘That said, I’m very grateful that I could afford the travels with social media and it does give me an insane amount of freedom.’
