Why did I start this travel blog? (Hint, its for YOU)

June 6, 2018 Posted by Julie Pogorelc Lifestyle

Do you look at other people traveling and think: “man, must be nice to travel?” Do you have places you’ve always dreamed of going, but you just can’t even fathom how (or when) you would ever pull it off? Hear about people “just quitting it all” and becoming a nomad, and traveling the world working off their laptop? Or the other people who “just use points” and get to fly all over the world?

Well I do too, and it’s hella discouraging. But it doesn’t have to be! Us normal folks can travel too. In big ways, small ways and ways in-between.   

Travel really is simple

Travel really is not some complicated mystery. You have to get creative, save some money, buy a ticket and GO. It really is that simple. As with most of real life – there’s no magic or shortcuts. Rather, at least not for me. I work hard, I save hard and I travel hard. I don’t have the luxury of lots of time off. Nor do I have the luxury of fat stacks in my bank account. I also don’t have the privilege of having a credit card to rack up reward points. Shit is complicated. I have to do it all the old-fashioned way. BUT I’ve figured out how to make it happen, and I want you to be able to do it too! I’ve created this blog to help you get out there – and get excited about it!

Life is complicated

Maybe you also have obligations you can’t just step away from. Jobs, spouses, kids, chronic illnesses. LIFE. Sound familiar? But that doesn’t mean you absolutely can’t inject a little bit of adventure in there somewhere. Start small, carve out little cultural experiences in your own backyard. Get excited. Build on that. Get a plan. Stick to the plan! And build up to that dream vacation. DO IT. Bask in its deliciousness. Then repeat.

“Our biggest regrets are not our actions, but our inactions. The things we wish we could redo, if you look at the science, are the chances not taken” Adam Grant , Organizational psychologist, TED Speaker

I want to help you travel! If I can help even one person go on that dream trip they have always wanted to, then it is all worth it. As this is my very first blog post, my blog is still in the baby stages of taking shape. But I promise, once we get rolling here, I will teach you all the things!
