Question

im 23, finding home living stressful, difficult, family issues, etc.

ive always wanted to go travelling. i think now is the time.

if you were me would you sell everything you own and go for it? how much money would you take? i have a rough idea of a route to take down through europe. also if theres someone who also wants to go travelling and would maybe want to go with me. then email me. im free spirited, dont follow rules, and follow my nose, i hate routine and being told what to do, if this sounds like you let me know [e-mail]

Answer 1

Definitely do it!  The last thing you want is to look back on your life and say you wish you'd done that.  My husband did the same thing before we met and I'm so envious of all of his experiences.

Answer 2

Do it. I spent a lot of time travelling, and loved it. It also helped me find what I really wanted to do in life, plus employers like to see that you have done some travelling. Take as much money as you have - if you run out, you can always find work. I also find it best not to plan too much - if you like a place, you can always stay longer.

Just go for it!

Answer 3

If you decide to sell your items and go travelling, there is no return, so the decision is permanent until you make enough money to do something.

Answer 4

I left home and did something similar when I was 19, have lived in several countries and enjoyed myself totally. Go for it or you will regret it. Happy travels.

Answer 5

Yes do it. I wish I had.

Answer 6

I say go for it. You only live life once. There will be plenty of time for living in the rat race and getting stuck in a cubicle. I have traveled the world but did it the hard way on a Navy ship. The best way if going to Europe is to stay in Hostels and get one of those Euro passes so you can travel from country to country.  Also, when there, you don't have to eat out as much. Eat breakfast in your room.  A trip like this will give you a great chance to meet people from other cultures. Try and learn some of the languages before you visit. Have fun.

Answer 9
