I'll come back if they'll have me
No
We (my husband and I)are leaving our options open, but the countries we have in mind are Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, Nepal, Europe and the USA.
One evening out with friends we were just joking about quitting our jobs to travel. Then the next day we thought "Wow! This is actually a cool idea!" Started to do a bit of research on RTW trips, and now we are in full swing.
Excitement is overwhelming any of my anxious feelings, so I can't really pinpoint any fears.
Everyone is very excited for us and thinks it's a great idea!
Just Enough
I don't think it will change me as a person, but I feel I will gain knowledge through the journey and the people I will meet.
It's awesome!
I just feel for me the spontaneity of a trip like this will be great. Never needing to worry about a schedule to keep. Also not having to rush a million activities into 7-14 days.
That it is unaffordable.
To see new places and experience life in a way you can't while working 9-5 five days a week.
I don't have any advice right now, but maybe when I get back.
