Great tips, Lewis! This article is very old, but I’m glad you found me through it 🙂

I’ve been full time traveling for the last 6 years. A few things I would add: -It’s important to have a strong why for travel. Why do you want to travel? What are you running from? What are you looking for? Without a strong why, it’s easy to get lost on the road. -It’s also important to have a plan and a budget. Know where you’re going to sleep and how much it’s going to cost. Have a loose plan for each day, but be flexible. -Make sure you have a good travel insurance policy. I’ve used World Nomads for years and they’ve been great. -Finally, slow down. It’s easy to get caught up in the travel lifestyle and burn out. Slow down, take your time, and enjoy the journey.

Hi Yulianna,
I took that photo on the ferry from Prince Rupert in BC to Vancouver Island. Glad you like it! Feel free to use it personally, but please don’t publish it. Thanks!

This is irrelevant to the post but I really like your photo with a Canadian flag. Where was it taken? I just moved to Toronto from Europe:)
Can I save it for personal use? (please!:)

I am seriously considering taking my own leap of faith. I become aware that the first thing I will have to learn is budgetting, that was how I found your blog in first place, reading your travel budget gives me a big hint . You have mentioned ‘house sat ‘in your blog, would you please let me know if there is a website to sign up for house sitting? thanks 🙂

Thank you! I am going to keep browsing and reading. I look forward to your upcoming posts.

Thanks for all the helpful advice.

Enjoy the excitement and nervousness for your trip; it’s completely normal, and kind of fun once you surrender to it!

As for favourite experiences or places, it’s a million dollar question that I answer here:

And in order to financially sustain my travels, I am a writer, and I also keep my expenses low by often volunteering in trade for my accommodation (and sometimes food too).

A yoga cert could be a good way to earn some cash on the road….it depends on where you go I’d guess. And whether or not it covers the bills depends on your personal cost of living on the road. Here was mine for 2010:

I am doing a world trip in January for a year and I am starting to get anxiety. Not really, but I am nervous to just get up and go. I have a great job right now but of course I am always thirsty for more. I am working on the savings plan now and then I am off. Whoo! Thank you for posting this. It keeps me inspired and motivated. I can’t wait to be able to share all my travels. You look like you had a lot of fun. Any must see places or must do adventures? I am going to keep browsing your blog but what did you do for $$ or shall I say what are you doing? I am getting my yoga cert so I am hoping to do a little of that while I am traveling, that won’t pay the bills though! ha! Thanks for the motivation!

Time flies when you’re having fun, huh? 😉
