I realized that I haven't been anywhere in about 2 years. This is due to the current lack money and time situation, it seems something always gets in the way. I have found myself becoming very jealous of complete strangers who are able to go abroad, spend weeks on end in a foreign country. While I, sit behind a computer wishing I could be there, trying desperately to figure out how to make more money that won't require me waiting tables or bartending.
My last trip was to the Ozarks National Park in Missouri. The guy I was seeing at the time was a park ranger there. We went on a two day camping and canoe trip that was amazing. Strangers are often amazed when they find out my hobbies, apparently I don't look the part. Of course I took the camera and got some great shoots. Pictures to follow once my home computer is up and running (crashed mother board) yep another expense.
Anyway, back to the travel bug.
Symptoms
- The urge to sell everything and point to a map and go there
- Constantly looking at travel sites to plan you next vacation
- Depression: scared you won't ever get to travel ever again
- Thinking of what you can sell to finance your next trip
- Jealous of others who get to travel
Here are my thoughts on a cure for the Travel Bug
Cure
- Make a plan and stick to it. Find out how to get the money and DO IT
- Put fear aside. We have one go 'round. Make it count
- Education and research will help the dollar go further
- Use resources from Twitter, Facebook, and other social media
- Keep motivated.
