Are you afraid to go around the world? (or 7 excuses for not doing so)

When I returned from a trip around the world, to those who wanted to do the same, I often asked the question "and you then is when? ". I always had the same answers came back. Or rather the same prétextes.Question fear?


"It's too expensive! "


That is one reason that comes up often. Really too expensive? In some corners of the world, such as Southeast Asia, Eastern and lodging back 10 euros per day. See less.

And I'm not talking about those who travel by bike or on foot around the world, their budget is ridiculous!

Certainly, you must have a bet. But for that, you just save some time in a clever normal job. It's that simple! And then, just travel budget mode. There are many ways and techniques to travel cheaper!

You can also travel and work!

How much do you cost your cigarettes? Or your daily chocolate local Starbucks? Do the math ... over a year.



"And the return journey? "


"It will be hard to return, I'm having trouble reacquaint myself. Maybe I'll be off. Perhaps it is better that I do not do it. I have already spoken with people who have gone a long time, it's hard, they always want to leave. "

What can I say about it? Nothing, stay quietly in your chair in front of your window and watch the world go by ...

"My family will miss me" 


Frankly, they are not going to change much. If they are true friends, they will always be there when you return. It will be as if you had left yesterday. Rather, it is you who will have changed in the meantime.

And with the internet, it has never been easier to communicate: the wifi spreads, calls with Skype's free ... Why not make a blog around the world?

"1 year, 2 years, around the world, it's bad for the CV! "


"It will make a hole, I'm having trouble finding a job"! Medium as an excuse. I know around me at least three friends who went to tour the world with at least one year (almost 2 Greg I mentioned on the blog), each found a job after a few months. And then you may be able to opt for the sabbatical!

Personally, when I alternated the long trip over and csd, I never took a long time to find a job. For one of them, this was even an advantage! The person who recruited me was part sabbatical around the world! So she liked my profile! Nice is not it?

Safety and fear of the unknown

It's very human. Man tends to cling to the world he knows as a mold on a rock. What is not part of our environment, what we do not know naturally fear.

How many people are limited because of it? How many people prefer to choose and organized trips or destinations "cushy"? So much!

However, in the early hours in unknown lands, we forget our fears. Of course, in some countries, especially, you really surround yourself carefully. And learn some techniques and made ​​to travel zen. Well, for that you have my method Atipic for safe travel:-)

"I'm going to feel alone! "


We bet right? Traveling alone is easy and allows more meetings. You go out to others, and others will more towards you. It's simple.

You can also read tips for solo travelers!

I know this is something that may seem strange for someone who has never traveled alone. Yet it is a reality. Perhaps you'll want to find yourself alone otherwise, this has happened to me!

You are naturally shy? This is a good school to look after you!

In short, after three days, you will forget this fear, that's for sure!

"And my retirement? "


Or pension as I have heard elsewhere. It was recently from a reader question. While she does not even 25! I agree that we ask the question 35, but at that age ... .If it really is a desire in you, do not follow why is it really reasonable?

Clearly not! Time passes. And you can save time, unlike money. Then live your dreams, live them fully!

Generally, one must be aware that there is never ideal time to embark on a long journey or any other project for that matter. These reasons are mainly excuses, excuses to postpone the moment to take the plunge. The problem is that by waiting the perfect time that will never come, you are likely to miss out on your dreams. And have only regrets. Dreams are made so that they become memories! So take action, take the plunge!

I may have forgotten another argument. In another you see? What is the strongest among you? Or what were the excuses that have most hindered before going around the world?
