FAQ: Should I travel while still working or wait until retirement?

Both options have their benefits. If you are currently employed and have a steady income, it might be a good idea to travel now as you would be able to manage the expenses of traveling. Additionally, your company's health insurance plan may provide coverage regardless of where you travel.

 

There are some counterarguments to the idea of traveling while still employed. For example, if you are in a high-pressure job, taking time off to travel might be difficult, and the stress of your job may make it difficult to enjoy your trip. Also, leaving them for an extended period might not be ideal if you have a family.

 

On the other hand, waiting until retirement to travel might mean you miss out on specific experiences better enjoyed while you are young and physically active.

Additionally, if you wait too long, you might not have the same level of energy and enthusiasm that you would have had when you were younger. 

 

I traveled while still working, but I took 90 days off when I traveled around the world this summer. However, you may regret not starting earlier if you wait until retirement. I want you to know that the decision depends on your ambition and the available time.

Today's destination: Suva, Fiji.

 

Bula, or cheers, to a beautiful trip!

 

Today's Mistake- Eating expired food

 

I made pancakes without checking the label. I got awfully sick about 20 minutes later. I had what they call the two-bucket problem. You can figure it out. 

 

When I looked at the label on the ingredients, it expired 8 years ago, so that was my problem for not checking the expiration date. Don't cook food that is expired like I did.

 

Today's Travel Advice: Travel in a circle for the best time management.

 

I flew in a circle around the world and got to see a lot. Like me, you can look at the map and circle the places you plan to visit. With a pen or using stickers,  Map out the most circular route and stick to it so you don't need to backtrack if possible. If you foresee that happening, try to move that other item to another day or save it for the next time you are nearby. I always try to leave something for the "next time" I visit a region.
