I have always been blessed, with the vision to see the world and the money in my pocket to do it.
You can do much that same!
Save some money, put your stuff in storage and fly away!
Even borrow some money to do it! Put it on credit cards, and pay it off later!
Anybody can pay off a balance on a credit card, few put their foot down and see the world...

SURFYOGI's - Top 12 Reasons To Travel The World
1 - Travel opens your eyes
Life is full of societal norms. Everywhere you go, those cultural norms will be different. One of the best things I ever did, was expose myself to these things as a young man, so I would not feel like I “had it all figured out” and instead, I “remained open to other’s ideas” for the rest of my life afterward.
Travel made me incredibly more well-rounded as a human being. To be willing to see from others' perspectives. For me I felt it helped me learn empathy.
2 - Traveling helps you learn who you are
All the challenges and opportunities travel lays at your feet help you discover who you are in a way that’s only possible on the road. Traveling is something everyone should be able to do at least once in their lives. Whether you choose to spend a few years or just a couple months traveling this beautiful planet, it’s important to see what’s out there.
3 - Travel creates meaningful relationships
People you meet while on the road become some of the most valued names on your contact list. These folks give you a glimpse outside your hometown circle of friends, and force you to take in new and refreshing perspectives, and ultimately realize that everyone is the same.
4 - Traveling develops skills you didn’t know you had
Travel helps you realize you’ve got skills you’ve never used, and brings them to the surface, and makes you smile, satisfied to have ordered a meal at a rural Chinese restaurant.
5 - Travel helps you learn new languages
There’s something satisfying about being able to throw around a few words of Greek, knowing how to say thanks in Thai, pulling out that long dormant Spanish to book a room in Santiago, or simply hearing a language you didn’t know existed just a few weeks before.
6 - Traveling gives you perspective
Seeing the world for yourself will improve your vision and your grip on reality. Meeting people from other cultures will teach you that the way you’ve been looking at the world isn’t the way everybody else does. In fact, your point-of-view might have some major blind spots...
7 - Travel means adventure
People are hardwired for the excitement of adventure and travel may just be the best way to tap into it. Zip-lining over the jungle canopy in Peru, successfully navigating the maze-like streets of Venice, bartering for the best price in the traditional markets of Marrakech, taking a speedboat ride in New Zealand, or hopping in a Land Rover and heading out to watch animals grazing in Tanzania: these are adventures worth having.
8 - Travel is education
Seeing the world provides an education that’s absolutely impossible get in school. Travel teaches you economy, politics, history, geography, and sociology in an intense, hands-on way no class will. Fortunately, the school of travel is always taking applications, no entrance exam required.
9 - Travel challenges you
Travel is full of moments of joy and challenges. Overcoming the challenges gives you some of the greatest joys of all. It certainly beats the alternative! (Staying home 😉)
10 - Travel shakes things up
It sucks to be stuck in a rut. A big trip can be your perfect solution. Fly around the world, stopping over in all of the places you’ve always wanted to visit. It’s actually easier than you think! Go ahead and plan your ideal route around the world.
11 - Traveling proves that dreams do come true
You imagined it, daydreamed about it, envisioned it. It can be done. Around the world travel is possible, you just have to decide you’re willing to take the first step and start planning your itinerary.
12 - Travel is literally food for thought.
You’ll be constantly surprised at the flavors the world has to offer. The way people in other cultures and countries prepare food, and break bread together (not that all cultures even eat bread) will astound you.
