How to Travel the World Without Quitting Your Job
Contest closed! New contest here!
In one of my most read posts, How I Make This Travel Thing Work, I list the top three factors that I attribute to being able to travel the world: desire, time and money. You could easily simplify that list to just desire and argue that if you have a strong enough passion or desire for something, you WILL find a way to make it work.
I understand that sometimes the desire and passion is there, but you might be a little stuck or afraid of taking a chance and trying something different. Trust me it’s happened to me and I’m grateful for those gentle (and not so gentle) nudges to get me moving in the right direction.
Lots of folks have reached out to me asking for guidance on how to make travel a bigger part of their life. Most seem to think that they need to quit their job and sell everything to make it happen. Some have even proposed going back to school to make travel a possibility. I’m not saying quitting your job or going back to school is a bad thing, but it may not be necessary just to see the world.
So for those of you out there ready to make your travel dreams a reality but not sure how to get started, this one’s for you!
On March 26th I’ll be FINALLY releasing the e-book How to Travel the World WITHOUT Quitting Your Job detailing exactly how I do what I do and how you can take similar steps to do it too!
