I want to quit my job, sell my home, and travel.?

Question

I am 30 years old. I own a beautiful house for of stuff. I have a great job that I enjoy. I have two dogs that I love. I have great friends and I live in a beautiful town. But I am not satisfied. I moved here right after college, have had the same job for 8 years, and feel that I need to do something else with my life. The only problem is, I have it so good here it's hard to leave. Would I be crazy to sell everything I own to travel. For example, teach school in another country or sail to an island somewhere south. The thought of change scares me to death but I'm also scared of the disappointment I might feel if I don't do anything now. I'm not married. The only really hard part is that I would have to give up my dogs.

Answer 1

Your not getting any younger. Rent your house out to a responsible party and pack your bags. I am sure you would be able to find someone to care for the dogs ( you stated you live in a beautiful town ) for the right price. If you don't do it now, you will regret it.

Answer 2

Go for it. -But just remember; you can't HAVE a Perfect Life, & be Guaranteed to be Happy doing something ELSE. Change is NOTHING to be Afraid of- just as long as You COMMIT to whatever it is You decide to DO. The ONLY things "wishy-washy" People HAVE to look forward to in Life- is Regrets. So DO what You WANT- & get ON with it. Time is passing.  :)

Answer 3

why sell your house and stuff, you are only going to travel, you might decide to come back after a few months. i travel 6 months a year, i just lock up and go, you maybe want to lease your house to cover its expenses. i think there are many options that are not too drastic
