Yes, I love to travel. Feeling the wind in my hair as I am whisked away across distances by a bus or a chugging train comes as naturally to me as feeling rock beneath my feet as I trek.
I can relate to most of what Jinna Yang, author of this article, says about living your life out in some obscure cubicle of one of the many "big" companies around. A 9-to-5 sucks. Unless, of course, you are the perfect embodiment of the job (aka, the job is right for you and you enjoy it). Well, I'm going through a phase in my life where I'm exploring my options in my career. I'd live to make a career out of something I love. Until then I'm jumping jobs, trying to pinpoint all things I'm good at and could make my life working on.
Quitting job? Well, I've been there, done that. I don't want to give up yet. I kNow there's something out there that's just for me and I'ma endeavour to find iut what it is even if it means slogging meaninglessly for months in an idiotic job. Well, I guess in the end, when you see light at the end of the tunnel, you'll realize that not all of that slogging was meaningless.
I love to travel, but I'm not yet ready to give up having a job for travel. Plus money IS a factor for me. I don't have any money that I can actually consider "investing" in travel, for it is an investment! And I drew up a blank when I asked myself if I could earn anyother way while travelling. All in good time. I believe that I will travel quite a lot in my life and I put my faith in the fact that by the time I do, I shall have gained the wisdom to get by.

Until then,
Happy Vacations!

Cheers!

P.S. Thank you, Jinna Yang, for this lovely article! Thanks for believing in all those who have the "travel-streak" in them. Hope you post more about your travels. Happy Travelling, fellow-traveller!
