Just imagine going travelling and never having to come back. Wouldn’t it be bliss? Of course it would, but it is also just a pipe dream for a lot of travelers. The reality is that most people have to come back home and stop being idealistic… right? It is true that most travelers come back home after their time runs out but they don’t always have to. There are ways to stay out for longer and make the experience one of the best experiences ever. All the non-believers have to do is keep reading and they will find out how.
A Realistic Budget
The plane lands and, full of excitement, the normal traveler forgets about money and just wants to have fun. It is the first thing that everyone thinks about because travelling is all about new experiences and having the fun. The danger for those that want to stay out for a long time is that spend too much. Sure, they might not spend a boatload of cash in the first few weeks but lots of people eat up their budget. When push comes to shove, they have nowhere to turn at the end of their trip and have to go home. Sticking to a budget from the beginning is the best way to eek money out for a long time.
Work Abroad
Of course, not everyone has to stick to a pre-determined budget if they can work abroad. And, almost anyone can work abroad regardless of their profession. It isn’t difficult as there is always a plethora of hostels and bars that need help. For cheap labor, they will provide travelers with free accommodation, food, and even a small wage. It doesn’t sound like much but it goes a long way because it allows travelers to stay in one place for longer. Plus, the town or city is incredibly cheap thanks to the free accommodation and food. People with flexible jobs should look into taking their job with them when they leave. Working as a freelancer is a flexible and realistic option for anyone with the contacts.
Settle Down
A traveler should never underestimate the importance of staying in one place. Sure, it is good to see new places but the places aren’t going anywhere. They will be there in the future, which is why it is a good idea never to rush. Travelling is expensive as it costs to get the bus, find a hostel, and even get into the country. But, as Dr. Luggage helpfully points out, there are places where travelers don’t need a visa and can stay for a long time. By staying in these places there is no need to spend any additional money on travelling. As long as it doesn’t get boring it is awesome to settle down for a few months really get to know the town or city.
A traveler doesn’t always have to come back to reality. In fact, they can make travelling their reality by moving away for good.
