You are absolutely right! While traveling can be a wonderful and enriching experience, it’s essential to remember that it’s not always a bed of roses and lollipops. There are some challenges and potential drawbacks that travelers may encounter during their journeys.

This is indeed true…. I had couple of bad incidents but the good times way pay the value of risking isn’t…

In reply to Kaylini Naidoo. Thanks, Kaylini! Indeed, every experience is a matter of perspective. I'm not always great about taking things on the chin in the moment, but I do find that in retrospect it can be a fun story to tell and I can usually find a positive spin. Happy travels!

I absolutely love the candid and upbeat style of this article. You really have had quite the series of (mis)adventures over the years but it’s made for some incredible (and sometimes hilarious) stories. I’m literally just starting out on this journey and have no idea where it will take me, but the smile and good attitude persists!

In reply to Jacob Wood. Thanks Jacob! Your own style of travel will be unique to you; the beauty of lifestyle is that there are as many incantations of it as there are people doing it! Just hit the road; you'll find your stride. :-)

Hi Nora,

I bounced from Uni to Uni and into a corporate law position. Spent three years working in London.

I’m 25 and have a similar urge to what I imagine you experienced before embarking on your 12 year long adventure. I have a small amount saved up and started writing to earn a bit of cash.

Want to say thanks for writing so candidly. After a good morning of reading, I’m not sure that style of long term travelling is the right move for me. That said, everything you have accumulated here remains enlightening as I tread a different path instead of corporate partner-dom.

Hi Belle,
Indeed, traveling with young children can be challenging! I’m reminded of the Denning family, who travels full-time with their six (6!) children. If you’re interested in their journey, check it out: http://discovershareinspire.com/

We went on a 5 month, 3 continent, 10 country road trip… with our 9 month old daughter in tow. There were some bumps and adventures along the way, but it was ultimately the most incredible experience. I’ve written about it here, if you’d like to read more:
