I have always wished I had more time and money to travel and see new things. Many people put traveling on the bucket list for retirement when they have the time, but I never believed it was the right thing to do for me. The main reason is that you never know what your health is going to be 20-30 years from now. Would you be even able to travel when you retire? Or maybe you would have pain in your knee or your back or even trouble getting out of bed? What then? Did we waste all our youth working, earning money, progressing in our career without seeing the world?
I don't want to live my life like that. I want to travel now, especially if travel works around my work schedule and current financial state. Speaking of finances, many people mention that they do not have money to travel. That is true that traveling can be expensive, but local traveling really does not have to. Since I moved to California, I have explored the neighboring towns and cities, parks and preserves to get better acquainted with the local biota and way of life. Driving from one town to another could be quite exhausting, but if you plan ahead of time where you would like to stop, you can certainly utilize your time efficiently to not only see several points of interest but also enjoy them.
I want to travel more in the future, especially abroad. But I first would like to see what is nearby. Explore small towns in your area, visit a neighboring place of interest that nobody might have discovered, or simply go on Tripadvisor for advice. Happy traveling!
