Here are a six steps for becoming a world traveler. World travelers are notorious for moving from place to place without calling any country home. This type of traveling is vastly different from a one week vacation to a beach. The first step towards becoming a world traveler is moving out of your current living situation. Whether you're living in a home or apartment, there is no reason to continue paying rent.
Being a world traveler means being gone for months and years at a time. Talk to your landlord to determine the fastest way to terminate your contract and move out as soon as possible. The next step in becoming a world traveler is finding a place for all of your belongings.
Traveling the world is easier to do when you have fewer belongings. Each item you keep will add to the weight of your bag. Hosting a garage sale or selling your belongings is a great way to try and earn some money right before traveling.
There is bound to be somebody who would like your clothes, electronic or furniture. You can also rent some storage units to house belongings that you want to keep. Monthly payments aren't a big deal for people who have a steady income and long-term housing. However, these monthly payments can be a drain on a traveler's income.
Most world travelers are scraping there money together day-by-day to stay on the road longer. Paying monthly bills is a quick way to see that savings account slowly drain to zero.

She is an expert in remote work, long-term travel, financially sustainable lifestyle travel, and much more.
She is a celebrated author, speaker, writer, coach, and YouTuber. Read More…. All of these people are travelers. In fact, I think anyone who makes the conscious effort to explore a place they are not familiar with — a place that is somewhere other than their own living rooms and backyards — is a traveler.
Yes, this means staycations, cruises and all-inclusives count. I teach English to pay the bills a decent way to make a living and travel to enjoy life. And the reason some people take umbrage to the all inclusives and the bus tourists is because of a sense of pride. Sure, they both have arrived at the same place and are seeing the same thing, but one is not the other by a longshot.
A mover, not a shaker? While I appreciate the thoughtfulness of the Post, I must observe the concluding definition is severely incorrect. Most travel is enjoyably mundane compared with things that can happen in your own house. A Hobo is a person that travels to work. A bum is a person that will neither travel or work.
Homeless Jetsetters Club — Thanks for weighing in! But why do you label yourself a wanderer instead of a traveler, and what does the difference mean to you? Some types of travel can be considerably transformative if we allow it to be so. And I like that definition of Hobo too! Travel is what I do when my wife gets tired—understandably—of listening to me and tells me to get the hell out of the house and go somewhere…anywhere.
In the years before we retired we had visited an additional eight countries together, bringing the total to 28 countries. In addition, I have been to six other counties, mostly for work, so I have personally been to 34 countries. Many people have a goal to travel the world. Other people describe themselves or are described as world travelers. How many countries do you have to visit to be considered a world traveler? Surely all of them would be a little tough. On the other hand, you could hardly consider yourself a world traveler simply because you spent five days in Cancun on vacation once.
One of the perspectives that interested me was put forth by Jay Wacker , former Stanford University professor, and world traveler. He suggested that perhaps by traveling to half of the 42 territories represented by the board game Risk, you could say you had traveled the world.
This makes a lot of sense to me. Counting countries alone might not really be considered traveling the world. For those of you unfamiliar with the board game Risk , it is a strategy game where players attack competitors by rolling dice all in an effort to eliminate their opponents and attain global domination.
I played Risk with my brothers and friends many times as a teen and still play a bit online today. I found a map of the Risk board online and starred all the regions I have been to. Some of it involves a little guesswork since the Risk game generalizes territories and the territories can cross county borders.
Some Risk territories divide a country into many territories, for example, the actual country of the USA is made up of three Risk territories, while the Risk territory of North Africa is comprised of about 15 actual countries.
Using the Risk map territory method, I am almost a world traveler. I have visited 20 of the 42 territories, one more to go! Map of our travels based on the Risk board game territories. I have visited 20 of the 42 Risk territories. I am moving to Anren, China to teach English. How do you keep your phones connected to American websites in China? How did you deal with this while in China? Congratulations on your teaching job in China. Great questions. I should probably write a blog post on this.
