I have always wanted to see what the rest of the world has to offer and I
am at a point in my life where I can afford to go and have nothing
holding me back (no kids, no partner) The influence is simply the
mystery of where fate will take you once you step off that plane!!!
I will be going solo. I have lived on my own and done some small travel
on my own, but never anything quite like this.
They are mostly excited. They worry about the solo travel also. But
they understand that I need to do this for myself and now is the perfect time.
Just Enough
Comfortable footwear, versatile - lightweight clothing. A safe-pac for
my backpack, and a good hat.
I want to be able to settle into my life and know that I have seen more
than just my home town. I feel the draw because I think there may be
better life out there and this way my question will be answered. Who
knows, I may end up settling in "a better place" for me.
Opportunity of a lifetime.
You don't get to submerse yourself into a new culture in one or two
weeks. You need more time to adapt and feel comfortable. I think RTW
travel is a great way to get to know the real you inside oneself.
That it can only be done by those who have lots of money and time...not
true! A car costs far more than a RTW trip and people don't usually
think twice about that.
To see different cultures, meet new people and learn more about myself.
Plan only as much as you need. A moment to moment itinery will only go
to the trash bin and make you feel stressed. Go with the flow and see
where life takes you all on it's own. You will enjoy it so much more.
