Working for free and what it taught me

In this case, free = non-profit. I think 99% of the population would work for "free" provided their expenses are paid.

I'm part of the 1% then. Sure, working is fun and all, but there are things I want to do in life besides working. Those things generally need money to pay for.

In this case - What the author wants to do in life besides working is travel and gain some rich experiences by meeting people across the world. To me - that's really freaking cool.

Perhaps I miswrote, I lost a lot of money doing this - expenses were travel and finding me somewhere to live, everything else in life costs a lot of money which came from my own account.

You would have life costs either way.

Sure - but I'd be earning money to cover them :)
