The last generation had a pretty clear path that they set to follow as they progress through life. Go to school, go to college, get a job, work for 40+ years, and then retire. They save all their “living” for retirement, after they’ve put in their time. I think this is just silly. If you wait until you’re 65 years old to go on all the adventures on your bucket list, how many of those thing do you actually think you’re going to be able to do? You aren’t always physically capable of doing all the things you dreamed of while you were young and able.
And that’s only IF you make it to 65. We know all too well that not even tomorrow is promised to us. That knowledge alone was enough for me to realize that my primary focus should not be slaving away for a job that replace me the day after they saw my name in the obituaries. Like many others in my generation, I realized that life should be about experiencing all that the world has to offer. Social media and images of far off places on our Newsfeeds have intensified the Wanderlust people my age feel.
My boyfriend and I have made travel our priority over the past few years. We don’t just work for the weekend. We work for the vacations we take multiple times a year. We just came back from a week in Vegas in November and already have a trip booked for California in two weeks!
Making this happen at 23, with limited income and college debt is no easy feat, but over time I have come up with a few tips and tricks so we can get the most for our money while traveling, without missing out on any of the experiences we want to cram in to the trips. People have asked me how we go about doing this, and I’ve finally decided to share our secrets.
This lifestyle doesn’t come without a few sacrifices. Like I said we no longer live for the weekends, but I have already seen more places than some see in their lifetime. I think that’s more valuable than being able to “pop bottles” on the weekend. I don’t have the cushy savings account that some have as a safety net. In fact sometimes I need to be a homebody for a few weeks just to stay on budget for the next trip. It’s all worth it to me though, because as the saying goes “Your money will return, your time won’t.”
Your money will return, your time wont.

You do not have any ideas what man can do when being old! I am retired airline ex-worker, so it means that I have travelled round the World for example. Now when being so called senior citizen, I have done gorgeous things. For example, I have driven my car on a German highway at the speed of 242 km/ h = 150.4 mi/h. Test it Yourself and find how great it is! I have hiked on our Arctic hills among free roaming reindeers.
I speak English, Spanish, French and Portuguese. My mother tongue is Finnish. It is easy to travel and talk with different people around the world.

Happy and safe travels!

I absolutely admire everything that you have worked hard to accomplish! I think it’s wonderful that you have gone on so many adventures! I was really only trying to say that it’s silly to wait until retirement to start your adventures, not that it’s impossible. I certainly meant no offense by this. I was just stating that most people in America save their travels until after retirement, when they should be going on adventures their whole life through!
Thank you for the comment! Happy and safe travels to you as well!
