Let’s set the record straight
If you think quitting your job to travel the world is all goodness, this post might have you thinking twice. If you travel in an unplanned fashion, not thinking much more than a few days or weeks ahead, you have a greater chance to enjoy all kind of Serendipitous experiences. Like me, you might even rediscover your fitness (I lost 40 pounds in 18 months of travel without Dieting or “working out ”).

You will freak out
It took me 8 months to completely Disconnect and "Unwind" from 14 years of intense work. I left behind a ton of money in stock when I quit (enough to pay cash for a luxury home anywhere in the country) I was finally at peace with my decision and able to actually enjoy my experience of unplanned travel. Don’t be rigid with your expectations for what you will do when you are done. Think and Journal regularly, and allow the right "next step".

Use your independent adventures as a chance to Recharge, learn and enjoy a break from your normal routine. Enjoy the peace and quiet, and use your adventures as a chance to Recharge.

Good friends will be hard to find
Unless you decide to plant yourself for 3–6 months in specific places, the chances of making lifelong friends is unlikely. I consider myself a very content person and am perfectly happy just being with myself. But at some point, you will crave connection to friends. Someone to share your adventures with. Someone to join you on trips and expeditions. Someone else to talk to aside from your partner or dogs!

Travel will become a job
Do you consider relaxing on a beach without any work for weeks on end a dream lifestyle? it is. But the tiny things extended travel require also wear on you over time. Instead of traveling every few days, spend weeks (or months) at a time in each location to get to know the locals and Immerse yourself in the regional culture. If you are traveling for a long period of time, plan your day to ensure you have a chance to charge your electronics.
