Hi guys. In a few months im leaving my home country alone and travelling around south america alone dor atleast 1 year minimum.
Im very excited, but also cant predict how it will be. Im assuming i may get lonely somtimes etc
Just wanted to ask for those that have or are currently aborad alone for a extended time how is it ? Do you get lonely somtimes? Do you get bored somtimes ?
Another thing for me is im wondering if i would get bored ? Because im not going to be working whilst overseas. Im predicting i will need somethings to occupy my self, sure traveling will be amazing but once i set up a base i think i may eventually get bored and want to occupy my time, im considering having a go at a online business for something to do.
Anyone else abroad for a year or years without working ?
Keep in mind there is nothing wrong with going home occasionally. The idea that you “have to” keep travelling is nonsense, head home for a week or two, see your friends/family, refresh and then go back out. Or, set a shorter goal and re-evaluate, such as plan to go for 2 moths and if it feels right, keep going for another 3 etc.
If you feel you can’t return home etc, I’d examine why you feel that way. Doesn’t have to be a bad thing, you can have your reasons, but make sure they are positive. Some people use digital nomading to put off dealing with issues they have at home. Travel is great, but it won’t fix things you are trying to escape from.
Best of luck on your trip!
