Thanks for the great post. Good advice! Work day to day can be extremely difficult. Is the answer to enjoy what you do or do what you enjoy? It’s tough. Thanks for you insight though.

I stumbled upon this blog like I did yours. Though their insight on work was very meaningful: http://burisonthecouch.wordpress.com/2009/12/31/our-house/

Hello Sean. It’s good to hear from people who have balls to quit and just travel like that, but i assume you’re traveling with the money the company paid, and if i’m wrong what do you do as a living while travel?

I read your post “Am I being arrogant…” and I would not call that arrogance. What is required is plain old guts. Separating ourselves from the cocoon of comfort and facilities of our Western life is painful. You have to become responsible for yourself. Living without permanent paycheck, health insurance, pension insurance, mortgage, your hairdresser, etc. requires great deal of self-confidence and is not for everyone. I have seen it in Utila, Honduras, which is probably the capital of alternative lifestyle. People get tempted by the life without too many rules, but end up missing them and being lost without the comfort of a regular schedule and having to take care of their own needs, including finding a source of income. But, the payoff is fantastic, the sense of freedom and being truly alive cannot be explained. It starts when you quit your job, sell your possessions and realize that your entire life fits in one or two bags. The possibilities are endless. You just have to trust yourself and be totally opened to whatever comes. There is a way to test the waters, with volunteering. There are few very good volunteer organizations, like vso.org, which offer jobs to professionals who would like to take one or two years off and do something different and meaningful. It is an acceptable excuse to take a leave without pay, and the volunteer organization covers your life expenses and health insurance. Once you are living and working in a very different culture, you can quickly see if it is for you or not. By the way, the whole health insurance is a non-issue, many developing countries have excellent doctors, and the cost of a check-up or a hospital visit is really reasonable.
