I was able to spend 5 months there, then I had to come back, work a job for a month, I managed to save $1000 and then off I went again to another third world country where I could live for a while, I managed to make that last about 8 months (after the plane fare took a big chunk). Then I came back, worked a boring job for about 2 months and saved up $1700, and that bought me more time to be a free wanderer.
That was what I did when I was 19, I discovered that you can live cheaper if you traveled in third world countries with your backpack, didn't mind roughing it a little, and it gives you lots of time to find out who you are, what you really want in life, and gives you some worldly wisdom. I encourage you to forget about getting ahead for now and just be a free wanderer until you know what you are really meant to do. Don't waste your money going to school until you know what you're really meant to do.
I enjoyed Christine Breese's talks on youtube about this kind of thing, and I also enjoyed the course on Life Pupose at Unversity of Metaphysical Sciences at Life Purpose, Purpose Driven Life, Purpose of Life, Purpose In Life, Living Life |
Wow, TeresaGirl. Thank you for sharing this story! Right now I'm in an environment of people who think actions like that are crazy, irresponsible, and selfish. It's great to know that someone has the guts to follow their dreams.
By the time I set off for adventure, I'll probably have over $3000 saved. Excited!
