Long Term Travel

There’s a lot of worry out there regarding long term travel. I hear it from most everyone, including my husband. Worried that money will run out or that it’s going to be detrimental to careers or that traveling for that period of time is dangerous. There’s a lot of things people worry about, but it’s mostly money. I find that it’s difficult to convince people that traveling for a long time is not as expensive of an endeavor as they think and that a lot of employers look at travel like that as a positive rather than a negative. I met a guy while traveling who would work for 6 months and travel for 6 months. He’d been doing it for years and had no trouble finding a job upon return.

Now don’t get me wrong, I understand that some people just don’t have the ability to up and travel. Lots of kids, working multiple jobs to keep food in their mouths and a roof over their heads. You do have to be in a certain position to be able to do something like this. But i maintain that just having kids is not a roadblock to long term travel and also that pretty much everyone I know between the ages of 25 and up could do so. Anyway, I’ve been posting articles about this recently because it’s close to my heart, but here’s a good one from someone who’s actually set up a business to help people make career breaks and travel extensively. Think about it, this person was a normal 9-5 er and upon traveling was inspired to start her own business. I don’t know if I”ll ever be able to articulate the change and improvement travel has on people, but I can keep giving examples
