Welcome to WanderingTrader!

Want to learn how to buy a cruise to Antarctica for $3,000 and not $10,000?  You have come to the right place.

How about an African safari to see The Big 5 for $350 instead of $2,000?  You have come to the right place!

Traveling is one of the most expensive things on the planet but that doesn’t mean that it has to cost you a fortune.  There are many different ways to travel around the world; backpacking, luxury travel, budget travel, regular travel.  The one thing that everyone has in common is trying to save money.  If you are interested in saving money while you travel subscribe by placing your name and email below!

I have managed to visit nearly 40 countries, live in 8 countries, and visit 5 out of the 7 continents in the world.  When I say live in 8 countries I don’t mean a month here and there.  Every time I relocate overseas I live in a country for 3 to 4 months finding out if its safe to live in that region of the planet and what the cost of living is like. I find the very best tourist attractions that you should see around the world and make sure to tell you to skip the ones that you shouldn’t see.  

It isn’t just because I love to travel, its also about sharing my experiences with you and showing you how to do the same thing.  I day trade in the stock market as well so from time to time I will share how I fund my travel through day trading.  There are many people in the world that are not just looking to travel but they are also looking for a way to fund that travel and day trading is an excellent option.

 About Marcello Arrambide!

Rewind to April 11th 1984,  I was born in a small town named Merida inVenezuela.  Fast forward to 20 and I have already lived in 3 continents and visited over 25 countries.  There was a catch, I always seemed to return to the United States.

Rewind to 13 years old: I was working two jobs, going to school, and doing extra curricular activities like soccer and weight training.  I was working for my freedom.  Fast forward 5 years: I ditched the extra curriculars, only went to high school for 3 classes with on the job training, and worked 4 jobs.  I was the obsessive salesman, a “fanatical entrepreneur”, I was working for my freedom.

When cd burning software first came out, I burned cd’s and sold them for $5 to $10 a piece.  I worked at a bakery and took the leftovers to school and sold them to students (and yes teachers and administrators too) for breakfast the next morning.  I flew to New York Cityand found a contact in China to have purses and wallets shipped to me directly to sell. I was working for my freedom.  I knew there had to be a better way.

Every summer I would go out of town to take advanced college courses to finish school.  I tried real estate, yes I was “one of those” speculators that relentlessly flipped properties: painting, nailing, cleaning, calling, signing, TOO MUCH WORK!  How am I going to be free when I am relying on other people to buy, clean, and sell real estate?

I heard about friends making tens of thousands of dollars in the stock market, safe to say I was intrigued.  That’s when I started to research the stock market, Fibonacci, and day trading.  I went through countless software and ideas and I then decided to take the plunge.  I took out $25,000 in private student loans (when credit was easy to obtain) to finance my new endeavor.   I worked full time, went to school full time, and pulled all nighters 2 to 3 days a week, and still managed to blow through those loans in a matter of months.

I wasn’t deterred, I’ve always been a man of strong convictions (my mother calls it stubborn).  I did countless hours of back testing, spoke with an infinite number of traders, and finally reached the beginning of what I call my dream: FREEDOM.

I day trade in the stock market for 1-2 hours a day and continue to share with you, my reader, how to travel and live overseas on your own terms.   All I need is high speed internet and a computer to work around the world and this time I do not plan on returning to the United States.

First stop: South America (Yes all of it- read about the project here)

In the meantime, I will still be in the relentless pursuit of my dream.

Update:  I’ve explored most of South America with only a Ecuador and Peru left.  I’m currently in Kenya exploring all of Eastern Africa.  Check out updates in my travel section!
