I have spent four months of the last year there, and am ready to break out of the chains of my seasonal job and go for it! It's scary and unpredictable, but isn't that what keeps us feeling alive? I did some of my best soul searching on my last trip. Conclusion: do it now before it's too late!Thanks for the affirmation!-Heather This Tuesday I will move to Bali.

He left with the remaining funds and only ended up staying in SE Asia for 6 months before returning home broke. It was a case of doing it too young, he still had the 'lads holiday' mentality and blew all his money on partying, and to top it off he didn't even get to go to South America to use the tour he paid for. What a waste.Debt is for mugs. Plus If you work hard to save for the dream trip, it is far more rewarding.

Thanks Matt! It is very inspiring to read your thoughts. We quit our jobs, sold everything and left Australia for our overseas trip and although at times I think of home and get a little tear, this article was a great reminder of the wonders of travel and the amazing journey we are on! Thanks for the boost up! Elise (one half of Positive World Travel!) Another Great Article! Thanks Matt! It is very inspiring to read your thoughts.

I think that as long as you don't put yourself into debt to go travelling, you're best off doing it while you're young. You can't turn back the clock and become young again...but you can always make more money! I completely agree with this post and there are some really great points in the comments as well.

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.
