from Makin Moves with Matt Podcast · host Matt

Ayyyy welcome back to your fave travel podcast. Thanks for tuning in and getting yourself ready to make some MOVES with me. Let's get it!In Season 4 Episode 16, I am joined by Sunny hailing from the island of Jersey...no, NOT New Jersey...I am talking about the UK's Jersey Islands as part of the Channel Islands located between England and France. This episode isn't a georgraphy lesson so let's get to it. Sunny, a 19 year old computer science student who loves to travel whose plan is to visit every country in the world. Sunny and I sit down to chat his adventures as an ultra-budget traveler who pulled off one of the wildest challenges we’ve ever heard—exploring Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia, and Serbia on an average of just $1.88 per day over 30 days.From border crossings and couchsurfing stories to unexpected generosity and hard travel lessons, we dive into how this journey was even possible, what daily life looked like on a budget this tight, and what the Balkans taught them about resilience, kindness, and creativity on the road. If you think travel has to be expensive-this episode will completely change your perspective. Tune in today!Tune in to find out more!
