Travel & Shop The World For Free: How to turn antiques & vintage shopping into free international travel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781945176333)

Do you enjoy international travel? Do you like shopping for interesting antiques and vintage pieces? And wouldn't it be great if you could combine the two?

Even better, wouldn't it be great if your interesting shopping paid for your international travel?

Many people would love a lifestyle where their shopping paid for their travel, but they have no idea where to start. Learning how to become a successful international antiques buyer can be expensive and take years of trial and error to get right. The details of how to do it have been jealously guarded. Until now.

Debra Palmen and her husband Doug have almost 30 years' experience as antiques dealers. They travel to Europe at least once a year to sight-see and source beautiful and interesting pieces, and use the sales of those pieces to recoup all their travel expenses.

In Part 1 of this book you'll learn how to plan an international buying trip, where to go, what to buy when you get there, how to ship it home and then how to sell it. These are detailed instructions that have never before been shared. They range from things you might think obvious to details you wouldn't guess. Overall, it's a tried and true technique that has worked for Debra and Doug for years. And it can work for you too.

Part 2 includes a variety of traveller's tales to entertain and motivate you to get out there and collect a few tales of your own. Supplemented with beautiful colour photos throughout, this book will inspire you to start planning your own travel lifestyle. From Helsinki to Marrakech, Istanbul to Cornwall via Paris, there's great shopping, a lot of fun and quite a few adventures awaiting you.
