To travel or to pursue your career? Why not both?
I quit my job once and started traveling. People made a conclusion that I chose my freedom other my career. And I cannot disagree more.

So many people are afraid to start traveling because they cannot take some time off their careers. Most people think that traveling and working cannot agree with each other. Those people think that they have two choices:

1. Start traveling but throw away all the comfort and financial stability.
2. Keep on working hard to earn some money... which they have no time to spend.

Of course, the most obvious choice is the second one. People so often give up on their dreams to live a comfortable life like "everyone else" does. There is nothing bad in it... I am lying actually. It is bad. I believe that choosing a casual life just because you have delusional fears is the worst thing a person can do. And I always feel sorry for ones who choose careers over their dreams.

<h1> The only thing that makes your life casual is the thought of you being unable to achieve great things.</h1>

Does it mean that the first choice, to travel and sacrifice your financial stability, is the best thing one can do? Definitely not. I cannot look seriously at all those YOLO people who don't see further than one second ahead. Those people get themselves in trouble sooner or later.. and that is not something you would want.

<h1> When your youth and energy is gone, and you have no plan for the future, you don't remember all the beauty of nature anymore.</h1>

What I never told so far is that there is always a third option, which, in my personal experience, is the best thing a human can do. Instead of trying to choose between traveling and career, you can easily have both nowadays. I must take my hat off to technologies on this one. There is no work today that could not be done remotely. It means that you can travel and work at the same time. 

>But Writingamigo, it is not so easy. There is [input your first excuse] and [input your second excuse]. It is good for you that you could do that.

With all due respect to human beings, most of them answer something similar like above. It is always us who have the most problems and the worst possible conditions to change our lives. But I must cut you off now and say that I had no plan, money, or idea how to achieve my new career's path (from finance to writing), and I still went for the journey of my life.

<h1> There is never a perfect time to start something big. it is only you or the reaper who can bring new winds to your life...death</h1>

And so, I decided that it would take too much time for the reaper to come and started acting on my own. I quit my job, which I never liked, and started traveling. On top of that, I started working on my writing career as well. Was it easy? F**k no. I struggled to find any job for the whole year, ran out of money, and got exhausted traveling with no comfort whatsoever. What did I do?

I kept going.

You only need to know one thing - the universe loves the ones who never give up. I found myself a job; I am now working independently from where I want and whenever I want... And I can keep on traveling.

<h1> Instead of sacrificing my career for traveling, I started a new (better) one out of nothing, against all odds.</h1>

I just wanted to say that you should never believe when others tell you that you have to choose between the red and blue pills. Why don't you take both?

I like being completely free of work and schedules - this is the answer I hear frequently from those who started the way of a freelancer. But I would say that this lifestyle requests even higher level of self-organization skills than when you work on your boss.
