The Two Things You Must Have To Travel

"He who does not travel does not know the value of men."
- Moorish proverb

If you had more time and more money, what would you do more
of?

The overwhelming response is:

"Travel!"

Almost everyone wants to travel more. But there are two
things most people don't have that are essential to travel:

1) Money

2) Time

Let me explain that money is not the issue for most people,
although most tend to think that it is the #1 thing they
need more of to travel.

This simply is not true. Travel agencies have programed us
into thinking that travel is expensive. They try to make us
think that it costs $4,000 plus round-trip airfare for a
short 10 to 14 day vacation.

Travel agencies try to sell us travel. The fact of the
matter is - you can't sell travel anymore than you can sell
air.

But they certainly try to charge you for it.

World travel can be done for only $1,000 a month - or less.
No, this does not mean that you'll be sleeping on the
streets and eating out of dumpsters.

Instead, you'll be doing everything you want to do, and
travel very comfortably as well.

When you cut-out those ridiculously over-priced packaged
tours, you pay what the locals pay. In some countries you
can have a full-blown buffet at a nice restaurant for a
measly $0.50, or book a 3-star hotel for $10.

When you know how to do it, the cost of world travel
averages to only $1,000 a month (there are others who travel
without spending anything - do a Google search on Peter
Jenkins for an example).

As you can see, when you know how to travel independently,
money isn't the problem.

The #1 thing people need to travel is - TIME.

Earning $1,000 a month is easy. What you need is the time to
travel. I'm not talking about a 2-week vacation once a year.
I'm talking about traveling as much as you like, when you
like.

The biggest problem most people have with getting the time
to travel is their job.

You could earn more than enough money to travel the world at
your job, but you don't have the time. If you quit your job
to have the time to travel, you don't have the money.

If I was making $10,000 a month at a job I hated that
wouldn't let me travel, or if I could make just $2,000 a
month and have the time to do anything I please, I'd choose
the latter.

What you need is a way to make money while traveling. Let's
say you earn only $2,000 a month - but you do so from
anywhere on the planet. It only costs about $1,000 a month
to travel the world. So this way you'll have the time and
the money (with $1,000 left over each month) to travel
anywhere you want to, at any time, for as long as you
desire.

Most people don't know how to earn money while traveling. In
the next post we'll explore what is perhaps the best way to
do so.

You don't want to miss it.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the
things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw
off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the
trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
- Mark Twain
