Should I Travel?
Filed under News
Another week passed by, and life goes on. That’s how it goes now isn’t it? Christine of Almost Fearless wrote an inspiring piece recently on the philosophy of travel, answering her readers question on: Should I Travel?
It’s a beautiful read you should definitely check out. For me personally, Travel is simply a dream I wish to pursue. I’m not exactly Traveling full time yet, or throwing away my 9-to-5s, but that is a goal I’m trying to achieve – to be able to Travel the world. Especially now that I’m still in my youths (young adults), I want to go on and explore as much as I can.
Much like that Mark Twain’s quote – “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do, than by the ones you did do”.
I’m scared to hell of the fact that each day, another opportunity passes me by. And one day I’ll find myself old and wrinkled, and out of strength, out of will, out of motivation – out of opportunities. I’m scared of not having the opportunity to do whatever it is I want to do. So the next time some opportunity – any opportunities, really – falls into my lap, I want to be sure I can seize upon that and go do it.
What about you? What is keeping you from taking your chances and go travel (or whatever dream you have always had)? Leave a comment and let us know!

Greetings!
I like your blog and the travel tips.
I really loved to travel, inside & outside Indonesia.
Many things that hindered me from travelling nowadays,
mainly because of my day job. So I only travel to
resorts not far from Jakarta.

Hey Harry,
Thanks! Indonesia has got lots of places that impress too. When I was in NZ and heading towards our car rental station, the driver was telling us how often he travels to Singapore and Indonesia. He was all praise for Bali and Medan, which made me want to make a trip down there myself someday! =)
