I am deciding a phase in my life about traveling and living alone, I believe that I am prepared but there is a certain fear sometimes, but your article clarified many things and helped to open my mind, all I lack is courage, but no I will let myself be affected by negative thoughts, as you said

Thank you for your content.

Wow… Really useful blog not only for how to travel for long term, but also how to live a life. Digital nomad has many struggles but, like you suggested by saying no to naysayers and believing in yourself you can really live a life worth living. Thanks a lot !

In a similar boat right here! – I’m 30 too, recently left my job and am planning to take a trip to SE Asia for a couple of months. For so long I’ve worried about saving for a house, or settling down with my partner (eventually I will!). I’ve realised that comfort really is the enemy of progress. Life’s for living, after all.

I really like your share. I am 26 years old but have never had a long trip, I travel only 3 days maximum and then return home, returning to work too busy everyday. I do not have the time or money to go anywhere in the long run and what I feel is the best in your writing is the practical experience, dare to dare to experience. Thank you for sharing so much

Hi Tori. I have done my share of road trips but not for the long term. It does make a lot of sense. Potential issues may include breakdowns or repairs, paperwork at borders (it’s a bit more involved), and not everywhere can be reached by car. (There are many barriers around the world like the Darien Gap, the Sahara, and various islands/landmasses with no car ferries between them). BUT… the advantages you mention are very strong and the disadvantages you can work around. I suggest having a look at this site which may have a lot of info relevant to you: http://wikioverland.org/

I really enjoy all of your suggestions and ideas on cheap and easy traveling! Such good insight. Do you have any posts on people traveling long term in a vehicle / camper van? This is my preferred method of travel for a couple of years. All over the world. Are there some massive downsides to this that I’m not seeing? obviously there are fuel costs, but I’m cutting out ticket and a bit of accommodation. Smart right? and so much fun. Traveling in a van is probably the best thing you could ever do with your life. I would suggest quitting your job and exploring the world.. and making that your job.

Well done Marek! Diving in full bore by committing 100% to a life of travel – long term – is the way to go. Advice shared from this 7 year digital nomad 😉

I don’t call it to quit the life, I said that I’ve changed my life style

In reply to Sean P Barton. Great to hear, Sean. It's often when those crazy life changes happen that you're pushed into travelling! Glad to hear you've found your calling to go nomadic as it's incredibly exciting to do :)

I took the leap five months ago after recovering from a near-fatal accident that left me unable to return to a “normal” job (which I was dreading anyway!). Then my wife asked me for a divorce and I’m now in Chile teaching English (online…much better pay). I’m saving up money to go fully nomadic next year, probably around my birthday. Your guide is a huge first step as I begin preparing. Thank you!
