On a cold afternoon in Ottawa, I sit down with my good friend Rob to discuss the benefits of travel with a specific emphasis on long-term travel and/or indefinite travels.
Check out Rob's Travel Blog and YouTube Channel:

We first discuss how travel has changed our lives by kicking the routines we had in the past and no longer grinding it out doing things we don't really enjoy.
Rob talks about how he always wanted to travel but then got boggled down by a job, a house that he bought and a serious girlfriend. However, he's glad he had that experience because he's now able to fully understand that doing kind of thing is not for him. Rob mentions that travel offers him ultimate freedom. The kind of freedom which you can't really describe.
Waking up and not knowing what time it is or what day it is with only your body as your natural alarm clock.
Moreover, long-term travel and going abroad lets you understand more about the world as you explore different cultures, different cuisines and meet different people who may have an entirely different value system from you. You realize that we're basically all the same and that we all want to experience love, happiness and sense of fulfillment in our lives. You make friends with people of all different walks of life. After a while nothing is weird anymore - just different.
In the past we both valued money a lot more than we did today. Now we realize in order to get that money you have to make a lot of sacrifices in terms of time and sweat. We're more careful of what we now do with our time and money. Material possessions are not our primary concern either because having a backpack full of just the bare essentials makes you realize you don't need all that stuff you once thought was important. We'd rather live rich lives versus having a rich bank account.
There are many spots all over the world where you can live for a fraction of the cost of North America. You can decide to go to places in Europe, Africa, South America, Central America or Asia while maintaining a high standard of living, eating local cuisine and enjoying life.
So free yourself from the possessions, free up some time, enjoy life and that what the message has been in this video and if a couple of guys like us can do it so can you.
And, you know, literally anyone can do it. I've met people from all walks of life. You just need to want it. And you need to really really want it. So many people want something and then when it doesn't really work out for them they kind of change their mind and they get all hopeless on it and then they want it again. No, no no. You need to want it and work towards it and you'll get it. So this is awesome man. Thanks for coming on, keep living the dream Rob. Boom!
