Sage: Don't Wait to Travel, Do it Now!

Don't wait, don't wait, don't wait. 

Don't wait for a girlfriend to join you, don't wait for your boyfriend to join you, don't wait to build a huge savings, don't wait for the economy to get better or for the perfect job to open up for you overseas. 

Do it NOW, while you are single, while you are not a mother, while you can get student and youth discounts all over the planet, while you can get work visas (over 30 you are too old), while you will fit into a youth hostel and will want to party or travel on with the other young folks you meet there, while you can work in a chalet in Canada, a bar in Tokyo, a kibbutz in Israel, pick grapes in Australia, au pair in France, learn Spanish in Guatemala, and just generally do the work that you can to continue your journey.

Travel is life's greatest teacher and you should learn to do it on your own as it will teach you about yourself and make you a more open-minded, resourceful person. 

“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” – Henry Miller

“When we get out of the glass bottle of our ego and when we escape like the squirrels in the cage of our personality and get into the forest again, we shall shiver with cold and fright. But things will happen to us so that we don’t know ourselves. Cool, undying life will rush in.” – D. H. Lawrence
