How could people carefree and see the world

I keep telling myself, as soon as I have done this, or done that, then things will be better and I will have time to do the things I want, but i think the truth is that you have to make yourself have the time and the bravery to go out and do things.

I was lucky to be able to travel around the world at the time I did so young and carefree. What led up to me being able to do this was buying a cottage at 19 years old, working as a container marketing controller from age 18 to 20 years old and getting made redundant. It was a recession so I wasn't able to find another job however hard I tried. I let out my cottage, got a working holiday visa for Australia and bought my airline ticket around the world. So I set off at age 20 years old and went to California, Hawaii, Australia where I spent my 21st birthday, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. I spent just over one year on my fantastic trip. When I came home I got married my Australian boyfriend and then we had a baby boy. I did my teacher training and now work as a primary school teacher. I now have my older son age 16, my disabled son aged 4 and my 2 year old daughter. I still travel at least once a year overseas. It is easier to afford time to travel when you are 18 to 30 years old depending on circumstances. After age 65 years old is another possible time with more money but maybe less energy.

I understand what you mean. If I had a lot of money I would definately spend it on travelling, because there are so many places that I would like to see Unfortuneately it is impossible for me to travel at the moment. I can't afford it because I have to spend most of my money on bills. I have two different jobs and even if I could afford it I couldn't just leave my jobs and travel around the world. I hope that I will get the chance to travel again one day and I plan on saving up a small part of my salary every month. It will take a long time, but I hope that my dream will come true one day.

I know the feeing about lack of funds. It has been a struggle for my husband and I because he is only working part-time and I am a full time graduate student. I would love to travel as well, but cannot afford it. I also would love to live a life where I am not always struggling and wondering where my next meal is coming from. With my husband working part-time my husband does not get any vacation. As a matter of fact my husband hardly gets any time off at all. My husband has to fight when he wants a day off for important things such as Doctors appoinments. My husband is a verteran and his boss is very reluctant to give my husband a day off for his Veteran's doctors appointments,but his boss knows that he cannot refuse to give my husband the day off because the government will not allow it.

I really feel what you're feeling as well.. The truth is, no matter what situation or mind set I have right now, I still feel a little bit envious of how people, especially those at their early 20's to be able to afford luxurious trips wherever they want without a care in the world. They could do this with no regrets and not looking to much about their future. When I first had my first job, my stable job, I have always wanted to be a part of a company that can give us more compensation financially to support not only our basic needs but also our whims and hobbies. Unfortunately, I don't get this chance as I can barely squeeze in my basic necessities into my monthly income. But then again, my friend, we just need to be more focused and be more determined on saving enough money to help us reach this dream of traveling the world.

Howdy! Yes that's true. I've been wanting to travel the world myself but money gets on the way of it. I hope someday somebody might give me a ticket to travel someplace that i want to see. I'm wishing to see the pyramids of Giza and the Great Wall of China. This places I mentioned was never been to my liking until I watched a documentary of them. It's something curious to me, somewhat weird places but very mysterious. I hope that I would see them one day.

Some of these people live in the now and they don't care about tomorrow or what the future could bring so they spend today's money today and they don't tend to save for the rainy days. On the other hand some people work and save every cent they can so they are able to spend a year just traveling without spending everything they have. Travel where you can while you can, that is my theory
