Why I Quit My Job to Travel the World
Traveling around the world for 6-?? months is really eye opening and gives you a lot to think about. Solving puzzles about getting money, how to get to places, crossing language barriers, trying to tap into the underground, cool scene, not being limited to the tourist kitsch, learning how things are done in ways you had never thought of, these all require creativity and are rewarding.  There are also many hardships on the road too, and sometimes you wish you could teleport home, if there is such a place.But after a while, the places all start looking the same, and every place gives you the same experiences, more or less.  There are buses or subways, hotels, or hostels, interesting people who like meeting foreigners, museums, parks, points of interest, foods, drinks, restaurants, bars.  Something starts growing inside you saying "I want to build something, I want to belong to something."  That something could be a tech company, a school, a network of friends, a business, a non-profit, a family, or anything else.When you get to that point, your traveling days are limited, and you start making plans for how satiate your new appetite.  You will probably travel again someday, but with a new objective, and with more experience guiding where you go and how you spend your time in the places.
