Hi guys.
In a few months im leaving my home country alone and travelling around south america alone dor atleast 1 year minimum.
Im very excited, but also cant predict how it will be. Im assuming i may get lonely somtimes etc
Just wanted to ask for those that have or are currently aborad alone for a extended time how is it ? Do you get lonely somtimes? Do you get bored somtimes ?
Another thing for me is im wondering if i would get bored ? Because im not going to be working whilst overseas. Im predicting i will need somethings to occupy my self, sure traveling will be amazing but once i set up a base i think i may eventually get bored and want to occupy my time, im considering having a go at a online business for something to do.
Anyone else abroad for a year or years without working ?
You are going to get lonely. You are going to have to deal with the fact that all of the things that you don't like about yourself at home, you still don't like about yourself on the road. You will either drive yourself to drink/crazy, or you can embrace the opportunity and start working on yourself.
I took a a Kindle with The Harvard Classics and a bunch of the 'must-read' classics, a Martin BackPacker Travel Guitar, a Harmonica, and Cribbage Board. Those hobbies got me through the lonely times. I also become much more sociable and met people.
