I've have traveled to many places but the longest I have been away is 5 weeks at one time. I just want to experience life away from the 9-5 job. I have always loved meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. I'm finally just saying the heck with work, live life!
Running out of money.
Absolutely, they are envious of my decision and sense of adventure. My friends want to come "visit" me along the way! Some ask why I am going and I just say "Why not" then I hear... "That is great... Go for it!"
Just Enough
Have no idea yet! Indispensable item: sleep sack. I've slept in some nasty places in the past, so this is a must-have for me!
I'm hoping to gain insight about myself and what makes me tick.
"Wanderlust is not meant to be understood but to be experienced."
One- or two-week trips just feel like a weekend to me now. The only way to learn about other cultures and people is to experience it over a long period of time.
That it is too dangerous for a woman to travel alone.
Experiences, people, sights, adventures that you would never experience in your own backyard... everything!
Save your money and go. Work will always be in our life, so why not experience something fun!
