That’s not true. Any place can qualify as a “real” vacation. So I don’t understand why you would think that.

Get a job overseas, earn money, travel more.

I have a massively free spirit but A strong sense of structure, which enables me to think about the now sometimes. I haven’t decided if I should go back to school, postpone my amazing job, stay with the love of my life, or just say screw it all, and travel. I really don’t make amazing money for saving up and traveling, nor do I make amazing money in general. I am at a crossroads and need to find my true happiness. What would be the best way to do this without screwing myself over when I get back? that is, if I decide to travel.

I have spent four months of the last year there, and am ready to break out of the chains of my seasonal job and go for it! It’s scary and unpredictable, but isn’t that what keeps us feeling alive? I did some of my best soul searching on my last trip. Conclusion: do it now before it’s too late!

Thanks for the affirmation!

A friend of mine foolishly took out a £12k loan to travel the world, it bought his flights, a £2k South American tour and his insurance. He left with the remaining funds and only ended up staying in SE Asia for 6 months before returning home broke. It was a case of doing it too young, he still had the ‘lads holiday’ mentality and blew all his money on partying, and to top it off he didn’t even get to go to South America to use the tour he paid for. What a waste.

Debt is for mugs. Plus If you work hard to save for the dream trip, it is far more rewarding.

Thanks Matt! It is very inspiring to read your thoughts. We quit our jobs, sold everything and left Australia for our overseas trip and although at times I think of home and get a little tear, this article was a great reminder of the wonders of travel and the amazing journey we are on!
Thanks for the boost up!

I don’t think people should go into debt to travel- that’s just foolish.

I think that as long as you don’t put yourself into debt to go travelling, you’re best off doing it while you’re young. You can’t turn back the clock and become young again…but you can always make more money!

My wife and I packed our eight year old daughter into a camper van a few years back to go travelling. We were burned out from the corporate life. Our time touring the UK and then travelling abroad turned everything around for us. It brought us back to basics and we were able to re-design our lives entirely. It’s not always been an easy journey since but we wouldn’t have missed the travel or our new sense of adventure for anything.
