If you leave a place, where you lived most of your life, travel long and thoughtfully, staying in new places as much as you want, yours way of life can be called Traveliving. There is no clear plan, there is no hurry, there is no "To see everything there, there and there," there is only the approximate direction - "If you like here, you can stay, but if you don't - you'll go somewhere else, don't know where."
Traveliving - this is life in the journey.
Now, thanks to the Internet, the range of skills that can help you earn money without being tied to a specific location on the map, has grown considerably. Now you can, working as programmer or designer to be almost anywhere - in Berlin or in the Himalayas. And many people began to choose Traveliving as a new way of life. In the long journey, you also can make friends, is also possible to meet a loved one, is also possible to have a baby. First of al you should just understand that overcoming the boundaries between countries - there is no big deal. And the most attractive part of Traveliving - cheapness.
"How?" - can you ask - "How does so long journey can be cheaper than living in the usual place? Two weeks on the islands are worth $$$, and the weekend in Singapore for couple - $$$$". You've got to understand that Traveliving - this is not a package holiday, this is an independent long journey . The more autonomy and longer stay in each new place , the cheaper it is:
- house for rent in months is much cheaper than by days;
- hoping to live in this place for months, you can scout out where to buy local products, food by not tourist prices;
- the same with transport - not a taxi every day, but you can rent a car or motorcycle monthly, or you can use a transport, which use local.
The mastering of these three points is enough to live in a new place as cheap as a local, not so expensive as a tourist. And if you're not alone, you have a friend or a family, the cost of housing and transportation can be shared, and Traveliving will be even cheaper.
So stay here for the same money as "at home" you can live constantly traveling, not in a hurry, exploring new places. And if you live in the country of the Western world and dream for a long time to travel to exotic countries of the Eastern world, you will realize that Traveliving - this is the best solution. Traveliving of Asia is much cheaper than living in the West.
Of course, there are a lot of fears and constraints. But the fears are usually unfounded by 99%, and the factors are not so constraining. Perhaps the only serious reason to give up Traveliving - care of nontransportable ailing relative who accurately will not be able to live without you. Everything else can be solved. We need only the skills of remote work (or passive income), a strong desire and willingness to change. And quite often is enough to have a very strong desire.
At the end of this presentation I want to share with you a little piece of real story of Traveliving.

I really admire people who can leave their previous life and take a risk like this. I think that's amaizing and it gives that people peace and they also feel happy like never before but for me it could be very hard to do. However this presentation helped me to realize that real traveling is for everyone, not only for affluent people and if someone really want to see the world nothing could stop him.
ReplyDeleteTravelliving is the best chance to see the world. You can discover new cultures, traditions, couisines, religions, languages and many more which is the most exciting way to make your life happier.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was preparing this presentation I wrote to the man, which made this film. Now he and his wife are living an the Phillippines, they closed their office in Moscow and open a new one on the island. He wrote to me that this was one of the best decision in his life, but ! he also wrote that he knows a lot of people which try to life in such way, but they cannot. First of all should remember that this is real life with different problems. And if someone want to leave here everything and change his life, he should understand than anywhere you go you take yourself with you ;)

ReplyDeleteIt's easy to write about traveling by this way. We know that traveling is adventure. But how many people tryied this? I think they are minority. People who are writting about it don't know what about they ara write. I think that sontaneous traveling can be amazing but it's a big possibility to have a troubles.
ReplyDeleteI think that travelling can be the greatest adventure of somebody's life if he can share it with friends or family. Travelling alone can be overwhelming but if you have people who are close to you nearby, it makes everything easier.
ReplyDeleteI have a little experience with this sort of thing. Being away from your house could be the heaviest aspect of traveliving. I left my house at the end of the highschool and have drifted from shared house to shared house, never really feeling at home anywhere. I like travelling very much, but I also like to live somewhere that felt like home.
DeleteI completly agree with previous post.
ReplyDeleteIt is great to spent some time abroad but at first I always choose tested way of traveling, I like to feel safe because then I can thoroughly enjoy discovering other cultures and learning about them.
I am kind of home-bird and after all there is no better feeling than being in Zakopane again. : )
I agree with most of the posts here, traveling is great adventura, but not many people decide to do this. Some just don't enough money or time, some just doesn't want to. Not many people travel alot
ReplyDeleteI think that travelling is great opportunity to meet interesting,valuable people and get new experiences.Most of us think that travelling is connected with lots of money,but it's a myth.Nowadays,we can travel around the world,even if we haven't got thousands of dollars.You need only have proper idea and imagination.
ReplyDeleteTraveliving... sounds good. Some people can find in definition of this word essence of freedom. You can live anywhere in the world, you can learn everything about other places directly. That sounds fantastic. Some say ' you are a citizen of the world', yes, that's true. However, I am an advocate of having my own place in the world, where I can come back after even the greatest yourney. It could be amazing for me change a place of living for a period of time , maybe country or even continent, but not for life.
ReplyDeleteI believe that traveling is a huge adventure. It is for people who want get to know new places. If you are in new places you have a taste of traditional dishes to recognise part of culture. I think in the world are a lot of beautiful cities which we have to see.
ReplyDeleteI agree that traveling is the most interesting adventure in your life. It's an opportunity to meet a lot of new people, learn other language and find out something about other cultures. I'm not sure that everyone can afford travelling, but I'm sure that nowdays it's a lot easier than before. You just need a little time and intentions. ;)
ReplyDeleteTraveliving is an amazing opportunity for people who are not afraid to live the way they really want to.
ReplyDeleteWhen you ask people what they like to do when they have free time, the answer you can hear frequently is: traveling. But usually they go on a short holiday trip and they say that they know everything about country they have visited.
People who are traveliving can really experience country they are staying in and know something more than typical tourists.
They are also people who adapt fast in new environments and it is one of the most important skills today.
• Travelling is squarely great way to eradicate boredom from our life, but I disagree with optimism, which permeate this text. Almost nobody is able to quit real life and go away to fantasy travelling land. Travels may by cheap? I don't believe... You always have to hold some money for beginning, the more the farther you go. Moreover professions which enable life in journey are very rare, in most of them to work from home, wherever it is, you need huge experience or employer trust. It is nearly impossible to get them in young age and when you are older you usually have a family so for me it is difficult to find good time to Traveliving. On the other hand if you love something you always find way and time to do it. Maybe I'm too lazy tightwad to think about it with little less pessimism :p
ReplyDeleteOf course, I agree with opinions above me with that travels broadens the mind and it is a great adventure.
ReplyDeleteI've heard about this type of travelling earlier and I've done it two times. My journeys weren't so exotic, but I agree that when you organise your trip by yourself, it is cheaper and gives you lots of possibilities to meet interesting new people. Currently, me with my mum organise a trip to Vietnam following these three mentioned points. Trips like that I found more interesting than go to the West. Nowadays, everything is possible, only you have to try to do it!

ReplyDeleteWell, like everything in the World, traveliving has good sides and bad sides. Looking through comments above one thought came to my mind. Indeed, traveliving gives us a lot of new opportunities, possibility to meet numerous interesting people and their habits. It is truth that also you can organize your life in a new way, tailored to specific circumstances. However, for me it just looks so easy. Reality is often cruel and you have to be very lucky or to have a strong faith that everything will succeed. Moreover, even if matters go well and your life looks great, sometimes it is only superficial. In your heart arise strong longing for something or someone which belongs to your home, which cannot be fulfilled by something else.
ReplyDeleteI always thought that traveling is only available for people who can simply afford it, because it is not cheap and it seems to me that I will not ever change my approach to this issue. Maybe it is possible to travel cheaper but I still prefer package trips. In fact, it's hard to express my opinion on this topic because practically I do not travel at all. Maybe it will change in the future, but then I rather also decide for organised holidays, even if it is more expensive solution because I am well-organised person and I like when everything what concerns me also is well-organised :)
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion travelling is expensive. If you go on trip, you will have a lot of money. You can't worried about your pleasures, On the other hand I would like to find out how it is possible to travel cheap :) I can't organize something like that.
ReplyDeleteTravelling is one of the most exciting form of spending spare time, there's no doubt about it. My reflection is conviction that we live in the best time ever (century, mayby decade?) for travelling because we live in "global villidge", like Marshall McLuhan (famous socjologist) said and almost everyone, who would decided to put aside some money could travell. In the other side nowadays the world has preserved differences - original cultures which are probably the biggest motivation for travelling.
ReplyDeleteI've always enjoyed traveling and having experience with different cultures and different people. But it's also a wonderful thing to be able to benefit and enable research, not only in our country but around the world.
ReplyDelete"The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page."
Well, to be honest I've always dreamed about leaving everything behind and following spontaneous feelings travelling round bigger and bigger world. However, things go its way and it becomes sometimes impossible even to imagine, especially when we get up from carefree visions and start wading through everyday adult life. It's always somewhere at the boundary of imagination that each idea is accesible to come true. I admit - travelliving delights me, but still how to cross or maybe jump over the thick border between today in the routine and tomorrow among the world?
ReplyDeleteI think traveliving is really interesting idea. I would like to travel around the world, meet new people and know different cultures. But in my opinon it is too expensive. I really admire people who travel to many countries. They save money to visit new places.
ReplyDeleteTravelling all around the world? Who hasn't dreamt about such an amazing adventure? For me it sounds like a dream, but for many other people it may look like a nightmare. Not everyone wants to cross their comfort zone, it requires the real courage. For me the hardest part would be leaving my family and old friends. They mean everything to me so maybe there is a little truth in sentence "Wherever you are, it is your friends who make your world"

ReplyDeleteTraveliving sounds great. It's fantastic adventure for people who dislike stay in one place by all their life. This is good idea when you like changes and life in motion. Everyday there is something new. You aren't bored. But I belong to people who like calm. So probably if I lived in this way I would feel chaos and encirclement.
ReplyDeleteTravelling all over the globe, meeting new people, tasting different cuisines… it sounds very appealling! For me it is like ‘living life to the fullest’. To be honest, it is one of my biggest dreams – to be able to live a life of constant, independent travel. Of course, there is no doubt in my mind that it would be extremely hard to leave my family and friends, but actually I have already done it. I came to Warsaw from completely different part of Poland and I have accustomed myself to my ‘new’ life. Anyway, I find this article really interesting and helpful too. I enjoyed reading about practical tips how to travel for a small amount of money and I hope I will be able to use them one day.
ReplyDeleteI am a strange person Generally I prefer places, which I have already known. It is wonderlful to look back on things, which I did in some place a years ago. I simply feel more safely in this kind of places. But when I finally decede to go into some new space, I mostly do not regret. Travelling is a fantastic thing - for everyone. The world has so many interesting and breathtaking place to visit. It is amazing. My dream is to some day take a trip around the world.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a little girl I dreamed of the great journeys, visiting every corner of the world. But travelling is a way of life ang I think I could not live like this because I like be close to my friends and family despite modern technology. I think it's also a big expense because travelling to distant corners of the world is not cheap. So travelling during holidays is quite enough for me.
ReplyDeleteTraveliving? That sounds great! I have always dreamt about it! It is like a beautiful dream and you don’t want to be awaken.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, that is such a great opportunity to sightsee, meet new people. I like travelling and briefly speaking, visiting new places is my passion because of the fact that travel broadens the mind. Who wouldn’t like to have to do with a new culture, customs, traditions? Every possibility to develop myself, to prove my strength and trial to be independent and creative is a good motivation to do something new! Obviously, this way of life didn’t make any sense if I would travel alone. I have a tiny but at the same time a huge hidden dream: arranging journey around the world with my brother. I get on well with him and we had already an opportunity to travel around Europe (that was a small trip to a few countries).
Travelling is unfortunately expensive and intended for childless people. Generally, it is said that this kind of living is so selfish and hinder establishing a fortunate family.
Yeah, if somebody is a freelance designer or writer, then it might be a viable option. It sounds like an amazing adventure, but it also reeks of responsibility and hidden problems. Saying 'it's enough to have a strong conviction' is taking it a bit too lightly, and maybe a bit too recklessly. Especially if somebody has prepared their life for a full-time stable job or has started a family, and wants stability most of all, such things are out of the question. There's also the money situation. It seems that the costs will be cheaper, but what about insurance, taxes and medical care? What if something happens? Travellers should always have a plan B, and a plan C if plan B doesn't work. And in such an arrangement, they shouldn't too heavily rely on a foreign healthcare system. It always comes down to costs and burdens, but if somebody is willing to uptake it, the payoff (an absolutely exhilarating lifestyle) may be very well worth it.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a very brave decision to live like that. For me leaving home and family for years is never easy and even the possibility of great adventure isn't enough argument. Fortunately we are very lucky because of living these days when travelling wasn't as much convenient. It's never "one way ticket" so if somebody needs a change in life that's a great opportunity. I always keep my fingers for risk-takers. But from the other side I couldn't imagine myself dropping everything and going for adventure.
ReplyDeleteI can also agree with a lot posts here. I study philology, which came out of childhood's dream of travel around the world and be paid for that. The only limit for me is just amount of money and could be the health. Travelling can learn us a lot about world in which we live, even much more than just sitting on a chair in school
ReplyDeletePersonally I admire people who can leave everything and set off into the unknow. I am sure that this isn't easy. I don't like change and I am very connected with my house, familly, friends generally with my current life. But if we talk about short trpis, why not? Finally travels educate.
ReplyDeleteTraveliving is something more than only simply travel. This is a kind of lifestyle. There are many reasons why people decide for this solution. Some of them do this because of their nature. They can't live all the time in one particular place. The look in the window and they think where to travel in the nearest time. New technologies made it simpler because you can earn money by the Internet almost in every country. For example you can live in Asia and work for a company in United States in the same time. On the other hand many people "traveliving" because they have to. The most important are economic reasons. In many poor countries people decide to live abroad because they are not able to find any job in their own country. These people are unhappy because they would like to stay in their fatherland but they cannot.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about you, but I I really would like to live in a continuous travel. Traveliving sounds very great! I always dreamed about travel around the world by the camper. I envy people who live just like that. That would be a wonderful experience. I realise that it isn't available for alll, I think it is the best for people who live alone. I can't imagine living just like that with the family, it would be really hard. What about the people who live in a constant travel? I think you can divide them into several groups. The first is a group of people who can't live in one place, it's tiring for them. Another group are people who live on the road because they can't find a job on the spot. In my opinion some people are traveling because they have to, even though they don't want. But there is something that I want to mention. Traveliving is awesome option for how to live because you can sightsee, making new friends and learn about another culture. But... the biggest disadvantage is that it's rather an option for singles.
ReplyDeleteI have never thought that there is something like traveliving. I guess that it might be really nice experience to try but not for very long. For me a year, at the beggining, would be too long. Anyways I would like to try this, becasue I love travelling but hate these few days' sightseeing tours. It will never show everything from the city or even country. The places I would love to visit I could diffinitely stay there longer than two weeks. It's enough time to know language a little bit, cuisine and try the local's life. This is also the best way to make new friends, I guess. I think that if somebody would like to earn it could be just blogging about places he or she visited, post pictures or stories. Like making a virtue of necessity. But generally it depends on people if they like or not travelling.

ReplyDeleteThe article is very interesting. It presents its advantages, but also mentions the difficulties. Travel is more than just a passion, it's a lifestyle, which absorbs completely, but more and more people choose to live like this. Why? Some people because of his personality and the desire to explore the world, and some have a fairly everyday life. It is believed that such a lifestyle is very expensive, difficult, tiring, but in reality it's not, because you can live frugally. For example, rent an apartment for a month, use public transport. In addition, in this day and age, you can work remotely, so this is a great convenience. Nevertheless, I admire these people for their courage, because probably,I wouldn't decided to live like such people.
ReplyDeleteTraveliving sounds great! I have no idea that some people lead lifestyle like that. It seems to be amazing but I think that I can't live in this way. I like traveling of course, but I can't imagine that I don't see my family and friends for a long time. Living everywhere in the world but just for a while can make me feel like a homeless. Everywhere is my home but true is that home is nowhere.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I've never heard about Traveliving. I must say it seems very interesting and intriguing. In my opinion, it's not for everyone. If somebody is to enjoy traveliving I think they should have passion towards traveling. It must be a great experience; however, people who decide on traveliving should be organised, open-minded and ready for dealing with new cultures and habits. What amazes me the most is the fact that traveliving can be so cheap. I admire people who take up this way of living because it must be a huge challenge.
ReplyDeleteI've just read the article about 'traveliving' and I don't know what to say about it. First of all, this post is very interesting because I've heard about this way of living but I didn't know that it's got this own name. On the other hand - this article doesn't appeal to me. Although it has an interesting topic, it's very hard for me to imagine 'traveliving' in practice. I think that this way of lifestyle requires a lot of sacrifices. It's definately not appropriate for me because I'm not a spontaneous person and I easily get used to different places, people, jobs... If I were to leave my whole life and get off to even another city, it would be very hard and I wouldn't probably manage to do it. To be honest, I would come back home faster than I would leave it. I think that 'traveliving' is only for people, who don't have any obligations or commitments in their everyday life and also for those, who like challenges. It's a huge feat, to leave everything we have and start a completely new life, from the very beginning. Maybe there are some situations in our life that we think about leaving everything and set off in the unknown world, but 'traveliving' is too much for me.

ReplyDeleteI don't know how I can commentate this article... It is my first encounter with a traveliving. I don't heard about it before. I think that a traveliving can be a good substitute for a "normal" way of life, but not for me. I like to feel stabilization in my life. Of course, ever and anon I like to change any part of my life, but it is better for me, when I feel that I have a home, where I am safe, where I can hide from all world. I agree with Angelika Chomka - traveliving is good for spontaneous people, who are feel good in different places and it is no problem for them, when they must change vincity. I know that more and more people make steps by steps to totally traveliving. But... is it all right with our generation?
ReplyDeleteI've never heard about "traveliving" but it sounds kinda intriguing. But in my opinion it's not for everybody. Maybe people who work only with their computers and people who want to visit almost every peace of the Earth but what with families with little kids? What with people who have to go to work 5 days a week? It's pretty cool that you say about yourself that you belong to the world but you don't have your own place where you can feel like in home. It's said that there's no place like home and we have to remember about it. I can't also imagine that it could be cheap (maybe cheaper but not cheap). Nevertheless, i admire spontaneous people who can dropp out off their work, school and traveliving.
ReplyDeleteI think I have heard about traveliving once but I am not sure maybe it was a package holiday;) I agree in 100% that this kind of living is not for everyone.People who are connected with their family or who like to have everything planned earlier are not fit for that.I'm sure this is a cool thing, you can save a lot and have not only one adventure of life.Just like the people in the movie accidentally met and from what we see they are in love and together they travel.For them it is an amazing experience, maybe if they did not decide to live such a life they would not meet themselves and eventually to the end of life they would regret that they did not at least try.This man is a brilliant example of people created for this, he felt that he did not fit in the country in which he lives, so he left it and start traveliving.Humans just like him are only then they have beginning to feel fulfilled.
ReplyDeleteI partially agree with the author of presentation. Traveliving can be a good way of living for some people, who like continuous changes and don't have small children. It may be a cheap mean of living, if you buy in local shops for local people, rent house and car for long term or share costs with someone. It is bad idea for people, who have close relationships with family, have small children or simply prefer sense of security connected with stable home. I strongly tally with a man from the video (Ajay), who said that delaying journeys is a bad thing, which lead to not travelling much.
ReplyDeleteReading this article reminded me of Jacek Wiśniowiecki. As the author noted, if we want have a traveliving, we'll need the skills of remote work or passive income. Jacek Wiśniowiecki is the founder of the big company and he works remotely. His passive income is sufficient to cover his travel expenses. He often visits new countries and records the videos in interesting places, which he adds to the Youtube. On this recordings he gives some tips "how to achieve the goal" - for example he can be wherever he wants and whenever he wants, because he had worked really hard to make money. Now, he's way of life is traveliving. But... We can see, that it isn't so easy. I suppose that people who want travel all their life should be extremely rich. Maybe Ada J. is right and nowadays it's easier than before, but I can't imagine that we can earn so much money just by working remotely. On the other hand - i love one motivational quotation "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams". To my mind all is possible, but we can never give up. If somebody comes from poor family, he/she shouldn't feel confined. Maybe there are some ways to make cheap travels (not just those given by the author) and it can be really easy. As far as I am concerned - I won't try it. Similar to Alicja Kościesza I like stabilization and safe home.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Link to the Jacek's channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR-B4vIp1OqaDwMQEn_rskA/videos
I've never heard about traveliving, but it seems to my that this way of life must be incredibly interesting. I think that article like this one give people more confidence to live life as they want. Some of us are afraid to get out of their comfortable lives with small house and job, even if they dream about travelling and getting to know other cultures. Even thought I like this idea I don't think that this way of living is for everybody. Moving from place to place seems like a great adventure but there comes the time in everybody's life when all they need is stabilization and order. No matter what you do constant travels won't give you that sort of feelings. Maybe there are some people out there witch would prefer traveliving, but I don't I'm one of them. Some times it's hard for me to get used to some small changes in life, and if I had to imagine constantly changing situation I guess I would freak out. I also think that life itself is changing constantly all the time, there no need to travel to experience that.
ReplyDeleteI fully agree with the point of view of the author. Traveliving is life in a journey, but this is life that some people choose, because they want to live this way. Nowadays we have the possibility to have a remote work and earn money while being everywhere on the planet by using computer or the Internet which makes travelling easier for many. The author mentions also that travelling can be cheap, I agree with that we can make travelling cheaper but we must be aware that it won't be an easy and comfortable journey. Wojciech Cejrowski once said that he sold his fridge to have money to buy a plane ticket and go on his first journey so I think that if you really want to travel you can manage it and all you need is strong desire and will to change something in your life. There will always be obstacles and fears that you will have to overcame to move on, but if you do have a strong desire and willingness you might succeed just like the man in the video above said:"If you don't have a strong desire, you'll always find some excuse"
ReplyDeleteI really want to try this kind of travelling, but to be honest I am a little bit afraid of it. Obviously, we can earn money by remote work, but it's insecure source of income. Sometimes you can earn a lot , sometimes not. Everyone want to avoid situation, when he is without money, far away from home and relatives.Talking about relatives, I couldn't leave my family and friends, I am just too attached to them. Moreover we have to take care about our health and it could be difficult in Travelling life style. To sum up, it is easy to talk about Travelling, but in reality it's not that simple for everyone.
ReplyDeleteFor me traveliving is one of the hardest ways people can choose to live. I really like traveling, I love visiting new places and meeting new people. But not for long. I get tired after being two weeks on a trip. Then I feel the need to come back home, sleep in my own bed and be in a place which I know. That’s why people who live in a traveliving style impress me so much. In my opinion if you choose this king of life you should be brave. Usually you are alone in this so this is connected with a big stress. You are able to choose where you want to live but then you have a lot of new challenges. For example you have to meet new people, look for a job there to have money, find a place to stay. If you don’t know the language you have to learn it. You are far away from your family and friends and even if you meet new people there, you miss home sometimes. I don’t think I could live like that long.

ReplyDeleteIt's not easy to take a risk living in that way. However, more and more people decide to do it, why? Thanks to the across the board access to web. A lot of employers give opportunity to remote job you could do wherever you want. One branch of industry like that is Information Technology. Every day you have another tasks, but it's not necessary to do it in the office. Ofcourse you don't need steady job to travel. We have services like "workaway.com", where we have offers from all over the world about job exchange for food and sleeping-place. It's up to you.
ReplyDeleteTraveliving is an excellent opportunity for people who wanted to find their own places, it’s some kind of lifestyle. This way of life is demanding and sometimes high-cost, but the experience and memories can compensate all this nuisance. I think that traveliving is more and more popular with young people. They can meet new friends, get to know other traditions and customs, and improve their language skills. In addition they can visit a lot of places over the world. Youngsters prefer to broaden the minds and to focus on personal development rather than to settle down and to start family. I admire courageous people who decide to give up their present work and traveliving.
ReplyDeleteI admire those who decide to leave their hometown and go travelling because I'm that kind of person who is connected to the family and present life and don’t have enough courage to give them up. I'm not saying that I won't choose travelling life, but first I'd like to finish my studies. Thanks to Internet there is more and more YouTube channels about hitchiking and travelling so that I can watch how traveller's life looks like. Despite of fascinating stories from the trips, visited breathtaking places and making great friendships the travellers are quite often lonely and feel nostalgic. However that kind of lifestyle broaden the mind, build character and let you to discover your true self.
ReplyDeleteI believe that traveling is a huge adventure. People who are traveliving can really experience country they are staying in and know something more than typical tourists. But they have to be people who adapt fast in new environments. I love traveling, but I think that I won’t be good at traveliving, because I can’t adapt in new places. Despite this I think that travelling is great opportunity to meet interesting, valuable people and get new experiences. Most of us think that travelling is connected with lots of money, but we can travel around the world, even if we haven't got much money. You need only have proper idea and imagination. And you can explore the whole world!

But they have to be people who adapt fast in new environments. I love traveling, but I think that I won’t be good at traveliving, because I can’t adapt in new places. Despite this I think that travelling is great opportunity to meet interesting, valuable people and get new experiences. Most of us think that travelling is connected with lots of money, but we can travel around the world, even if we haven't got much money. You need only have proper idea and imagination. And you can explore the whole world!

ReplyDeleteThanks to travelling we can learn a lot of useful things. I think that everybody likes discovering new places. There is big difference between package holidays and real traveliving. You need to be brave if you want to live in travel. Of course, I agree with opinions that long-term tri pis cheaper than one-week holidays and it is advantage, but I can see minuses as well. I mean – when you live in this way, you can feel that there isn’t your own place in the World. You probably would have problem with getting friendships, because you would meet new people in every new city. Obviously, I understand travellers, who love changing their adress, but I think, I rather want to have my constant home in one place, one city.
ReplyDeleteIt' really an interesting topic as I believe everyone wants to spend one's live traveling even if he / she doesn't want to admit it. We have enough of living in a permanent hurry and we dream about meeting new cultures and customs. Unfortunately, the fear and the laziness stop us from doing it. I think that traveliving is an excellent idea for people who are courageous and prepared to change their life. However, I can't imagine the state when you haven't got a home where you can return and which is your place on the Earth.
ReplyDeleteI must say that traveliving really fascinates me because in my view it demands a lot of effort and bravery. Everytime when I travel I feel so free so I can clearly understand why a lot of people decide to live like that. In the world full of rush, traveliving could be alternative way for our life. Moreover we could experience plenty wonderfull things which would be impossible to do while living in one place. We can make our life in unforgettable adventure instead of living in daily routine.
ReplyDeleteTravelling is amazing and the most fun part of it is experiencing different cultures. New music, new food, new language. We can see new scenery, everything looks different. We can relax. There is no monotony, no rush, every day is unique. Some people believe that travel changes them for the better. They are more confident and independent. I am not surprised why travels, are one of the biggest goals for people.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion this is the best way of living for someone who is open, curious about the world and independent. This is huge adventage od Internet and globalisation that you can work everywhere, your job can be 100% mobile. For me this is the best way to spend life when you do not have family. Being responsible for someone create thoughts that it is important to provide stabilization for example with education. How will it work if you want change places every month and your child needs to graduate school...somewhere. E-learning in my opinion it is not enough.
ReplyDeleteTo sum up, traveliving is the best idea if you are responsible for yourself only. It makes more confident in changing place, job, environment, and taking risk connected to that.
Traveliving seems like a perfect way to travel around the world in the best way possible - living like a local in the place you're visiting. I think that it is incredible to experience a "normal" life outside of your country where you feel safe. Trying new food, meeting new cultures, learning how others live is not something you will see while on a 1-week vacation. Unfortunately, not everybody can go traveliving. Not every occupation lets you work online wherever you want. If it can be as cheap as the article says, I would go traveliving. It seems like a lot of fun. I would like to live in many places without deciding where I want to be longer.
ReplyDeleteHonestly traveliving has been an appealing idea for me for a few years now. It does not only seem achievable, but also fit for my purpose. I genuinely believe it will become a lifestyle for me in a (hopefully) recent future. I have an onward hunger to explore the world we live in. The only problem I see on the way is myself, to be specific, my courage. Or my ability to take a risk. The only thing that can stop me is myself.
ReplyDeleteOf course not everyone has so little to put at stake. I think it's everyone's decision to choose whether to travelive or stay where they are.
Traveliving is an astonishingly good idea for people working a job from home or having a very mobile job. But if you want to try this type of living, you not only need a suitable job. You should also: know more than one foregin language, have a huge knowledge of customs and culture of countries you want to travel to. Of course you will defenitly need a lot of money to start your journey, even if you decide to travel to a cheaper country. So I m not sure, if traveliving is that cheap and convinient, but I'm convinced that it can be a lot of fun and surely it is not boring.
