Alleviate yourself from responsibility.
Quit your job.
Terminate your lease.
Release yourself from codependent relationships.
Let go of of your possessions.
Buy a one way ticket.
Pack as little as possible.
See as much as you can.
Talk to everyone.
Eat anything and everything.
Take risks.
Live completely.
Lead with your heart.
And then, if you want, decide to never return.
But first
Just.
Go.
beautifully put. 🙂
Thank you!! xo
Can I go with you?
Yes and be sure to bring some coconut mango cupcakes 😉
Done. I finish work June 27.
How beautiful. That looks like exactly where I’d go, too. I am trying to do this except in smaller steps. Thanks for the inspiration!
Almost forgot… What do you say to all the people who don’t want you to go?
You may be surprised by happy people will be for you. You may not need to say anything at all 🙂 But if you do, express how happy it will make you, how much you want it, and most of all tell them to trust you.
Your stories are both refreshing and freeing to hear (read). Thank you!
I was wondering, even with penny pinching and living a modest lifestyle, I found it very difficult to travel indefinitely. Did you pick up a part-time job or have money saved up previously?
Hi Terence, sorry for the delay in my response. I had money saved, sold everything I owned, and have done some freelance work while traveling. Check out my post on funding long term travel for more details: https://www.thisamericangirl.com/2013/01/11/how-to-fund-long-term-travel/
