" Traveling to the end of the Dreams "

Many people have asked me why I travel, how I do it, when’s the best time to start traveling, and how to start traveling. Honestly, these questions are usually difficult for me to answer, because everyone has different ways of preparing for their travels. Plus, everyone has different reasons why they want to travel. If you ask me, the advice I’ll give to you would be something I’d give to a younger me.

Before I knew how much I love to travel, I did all the things my family wanted me to do. Study. Graduate. Work. I did all of them…with no regrets. College was one of the best things that happened to me. 

For many, going to college is just way more expensive than what they can afford. I had financial struggles while I was in college. The journey was tough. Later in life, I met many successful entrepreneurs and full-time travelers who never went to college and still do well in life.

Even so, everyone has different ways of achieving success. Most successful entrepreneurs didn’t take shortcuts, because there’s no such a thing as an overnight success. When my brother got the opportunity to help his ex-boss start another business, Mum told him that he can do whatever he wants later in life as long as he completes his Bachelor’s Degree first. If you, too, have the opportunity to study to a higher level, don’t waste it. Do it, even if you wish to travel.

Whether it’s a 2-week trip or one without an expiry date, I encourage you to find ways to help you travel even when you have very little money saved up. There are so many testimonials out there about people traveling with very little money, or without money at all. If they can do it, so can you!

Although it’s possible to travel even with no dime in your pocket, I recommend that you are always prepared for your trip, be it short or long. Bear in mind that things don’t always go your way, no matter how prepared you are. That’s why it’s important to have some things planned out beforehand.
