I want to travel the world
Yes, I want to travel the world. I want to see the world through my little eyes as much as I can. But, it is not easy. The world is so big and travel needs both time and money.
Someone said
“when we have money, we don’t have time and when we have time, we don’t have money.”
And it’s so true to me.
I didn’t travel much when I was a student. At that time I had time, but I didn’t have money. And I tried to travel as much as I can when I started working. As you may know, working as an employee in Thailand, we usually get only 10 to 15, or at most 20, annual leave days per year. So, I had money, but it didn’t allow me to travel much or travel for a long time. Well, I managed myself to travel during weekends or when we had long holiday (public holidays + weekends).
And Luckily last 3 years I got a scholarship to study in Europe for two years. It was a great opportunity to travel Europe; I’ve been to many countries during those two years because i had both time and money (not so much, but enough to explore Europe).
Table below shows you where I’ve been. See how I managed myself to travel the world with limited time and money. Well… there is still so much to see!

Wow! My love for traveling sparked the first time I traveled alone (it was in Thailand, Cambodia and Myanmar) for Christmas vacation. I agree with you, that both time and money are needed to travel. But the lack of either of them shouldn’t discourage the adventurous heart. I must start jotting down my Bucket List of Countries of cities to visit whenever I have the opportunity.
I also love travelling alone. 🙂
Well, i have never visited Cambodia and Myanmar before. Hope I will have a chance to go there one day!
I know how you feel! Exact same situation but maybe even worse since I am from Pakistan, living in Thailand…so I can’t just quit my job either or work freelance. Love to travel also!
So work and then travel! 🙂
