For the longest time, I’ve wanted to travel a lot. I wanna see places. But not just that, I wanna do things. Learn to ride horses across the steppes of Mongolia. Learn climbing in the Swiss alps. Do sumo wrestling in Japan. Those are just random ideas, but you get the point. When I’m 90, I want dad lore. But that’s so much easier said than done. I don’t really get how people afford traveling on a budget. Or, how people work for a time and then go travel. It took me a long time to get a job, and so if I just up and quit it, I might not get another one, y’know? But more so, I get that the first step is probably to be in said place. But again, I gotta get there. I gotta manage. And quite frankly, I’m a bit of a bitch. I traveled alone for the first time in my life when I turned 30. And that was great. But I’ve never taken a train; I’ve flown a plane once. It’s all scary, y’know? And I’m sure I can get over that. But it just feels so uh… impossible to accrue interesting and unique dad lore without it feeling… I don’t know. I want experiences. I want fun. I want adventure. But I’m also a bitch, and a coward, and a failure. And so I don’t really know where to start. I’m from Sweden if that matters, but yeah… I’d appreciate some advice. How did you go guys go about starting travel, and with getting some dad lore? submitted by /u/AndreasLa
