My wife and I packed our eight year old daughter into a camper van a few years back to go travelling. We were burned out from the corporate life. Our time touring the UK and then travelling abroad turned everything around for us. It brought us back to basics and we were able to re-design our lives entirely. It's not always been an easy journey since but we wouldn't have missed the travel or our new sense of adventure for anything. Completely agree, Matt.

It can widen your horizon of experience and could broaden your outlook in life. Traveling can be physically tiring tiring but the experience is worth the physical challenges.

This is also one of the ways to relax and unwind after all that year of hard work. So, it's more of a prize for yourself for a wonderful year that had passed.

I have to say Matt, you are one cultured man. I admire you and wish more people could be like you. I live in Chicago USA, i'm considered a minority in the states, and i am visiting the philippines in august. chicago sucks, and so many people living here in chicago are racist and ignorant. to many people here in Chicago work like slaves, going to their office jobs day in and day out. It can really burn you out, and cause mental illness. Chicago is so controlled, and you feel like you are under a microscope with all the red light cameras, cameras in the street etc. Police are everywhere, almost like a police state. taxes are high, the winters are miserably cold, and people are just cold and rude in the streets and public. chicago never used to be like this. but after 9/11 things really changed. seriously no joke. im not saying the philippines does not have problems, it does some really major problems, but the people in the philippines overall seem to be more relaxed and friendly in general. now this is just my opinion, but i am sure other people will agree. I believe that it all comes down to what a person wants to do in their lives. but overall in the world we have the have's and have not's. The have not's tend to suffer, but the have's overall have a pretty decent life. traveling is for anyone, but many people are scared to travel outside their comfort zone. people are scared to be around someone else who looks different. The media has worsened this and glorified that the "other people" are dangerous. people just travel to someplace different. And my advice to Americans that are reading this post, "Las Vegas, Walt Disney World, or even the Caribean do not qualify as a "real" vacation" you are so right Matt.

WHY are people waiting until they're retired to do stuff? They very often do not do all this stuff then anyway. It's just an excuse. Me? Well, I have a hubby that has a newly started project that keep him here for a while now in the beginning AND I've got some health investigations coming up, other from that we would be gone!!!! You see, excuses even from me.... *giggles* To my defense I say: even if I got a lot of health issues I've managed to travel rather much anyway. It's all about what you want and your own attitude :-) I so agree with you on this. WHY are people waiting until they’re retired to do stuff? They very often do not do all this stuff then anyway.
