Hey Matt. i am 16 years old and am planning on becoming a full time nomad when i finish high school ( 2 years). I dont want to go to varsity, I just want to be free to do what i want to do, when i want to do it. I want to travel the world and get to know it as my home.How you think i should go about it, telling my parents about this absurd lifestyle i want to lead? My parents are the strict religious type

I’m writing a paper on freedom in traveling. A year ago, i traveled from PA to San Francisco, California and drove to Reno, Nevada. Writing is not my best area and i had a hard time finding a good engaging topic sentence. The point of my paper was freedom, in stepping out of my comfort zones and finding my potential. Trying to explain freedom in traveling is harder than i thought it would be. Although anything i write about tends to be harder than I first thought. Any help is much appreciated.

NomadicMatt , I need your recommendation or I would be appreciate you if you make a Post about “Is it possible, I’m as Fresh Graduate from Vocational High School? Is it too soon being a hitchhiker?”. Well, I know you’re Graduate from universty or still studying, With Educational Background everything is easy. What about Fresh Graduate from Vocational High School? (I just need your recommendation).

I’m sitting in the couch in Norway, after travelling west from Asia to which ever country I feel like, at my own pace. I’m about to decide where to go next, to save some money and get some savings under my belt to continue.

I think we know what freedom tastes like.

That´s really funny! Deciding to go to Finland because you want “excitement”, or “a livelier scene”! To me, Finland is the opposite of a lively scene! I´m Swedish, and even Sweden is not a very lively place. I live in Portugal now. Much livelier and much more exciting. I have a blog too, about our life in Portugal, but it´s in Swedish…./ Åsa

I can sympathise perfectly with this! I have just returned from a month long trip around central Europe, and had decided to cut it short to head to Italy for 2 weeks (I bloody love Italy). However, I had such a good time in the Czech Republic, I wanted to finish the story in Slovakia… so I just didn’t get my flight to Rome. Many people seemed to think I ought to take it just because I’d booked it, but I had an incredible time in Slovakia and Hungary, and as serendipity and travellers’ luck would have it, ended up getting a cheap flight home out of northern Italia anyway. Best of both worlds.

Your gut is usually right.

Listen to it!

My story: I quit my job a year and a half ago. Teaching college. Dream job for many people. I moved to Thailand where I have studied the language for over a year. Next year I am planning on touring Europe.

I live with people and work for them to pay for my room and board. I am building a business selling essential oils to keep people healthy on the road as a way to pay for my travels. Its work, but it pays WELL, and it gives FREEDOM. Life is not worth being in a box all day.

And travelers….I highly recommend Thailand. You can stay on Koh Chang, Thailand for $3 a night during rainy season. Pop up your computer in a cafe at night, eat a $3 meal, and blog at the same time. Its peaceful and amazing. See pictures on my blog.

Blessings,

Marlana

In reply to Hannah. Good for you!!!! I am doing a small business selling oils to help pay for mine. Whatever works. BTW, have you ever heard of teaching English on world cruise ships? I wonder if its another hying that you don't really get to see the world (like being a flight attendant) or if you do. But I always thought it was interesting, but I prefer to do it as you are doing. Congrats!!!!!
