@surfyogi, all the points you have listed here as the reasons to travel all makes so much sense. I have always appreciated the few times I've had to travel. It has opened my mind to new ideas, opportunities, relationships and connections. I have also appreciated the cultural diversity i see in people from different cultural backgrounds, and the chance to learn a new cuktyre is so thrilling.
Now, on the issue of using credit card or borrowing money to travel, well that's only obtainable in tge western world and not where I come from Nigeria. Nobody will borrow you money just because you want to travel to go see the world. And since we don't have credit cards here, that's not an option to explore. If this was feasible, I guess I would use it to travel a lot because traveling is my serious hobby.
Thanks for the tips. I'll keep them with me to keep reminding myself why I really need to travel more.
That's a good point. I don't understand the banking system in many countries, only my own. When I was 26, I think my Mom and Dad helped me get a credit card (did not always have a stable job) and I borrowed some money on it to travel. I saved some, borrowed some, traveled for 6 months, with my stuff in storage. the ticket cost $2000, so when you don't have to PAY RENT< then travel becomes much more feesable as far as cost over time.
Oh, I see. Yes, when you don't have much responsibilities in terms of paying rent and taking care of others, it will be very easy for you to use the little money you have just to travel.
The banking system in my country does not support the use of credit cards. And sincerely, it's difficult for a bank to loan you money just for travel. First of all, you need to have a collateral like land or something worthwhile to lay on the table to get a loan. It's not like the western world where people can live on credit cards.
You see, I schooled in the UK for one year. and that was my first time of being exposed to a system that is totally different from where I came from, Nigeria. I mean, life is easy there with access to loans, properties, etc. Sincerely, I wish the system was better in my country too.
Anyway, I'll keep your tips with me because I'm a travel-freak too. Thanks.
