    Travel, increasing my income, and taking full control over my life is the main points on my vision board. The reason being is because my whole life I have been in mandatory public schools and raised in a poor family who doesn't care about these things but I'm going to break out of my comfort zone and expand my confidence! If it wasn't for my vision board Idk where I would be! This will be my first time flying in a plane!

      Goal Freak I’m in the exact situation like u. My family never cared about these things either and I thought I would be like them and go to college get a job and then work for ever but Instead I decided that I’m gonna work save up For a 1 ur and half or maybe 2 years then travel as long as I can even if my family doesn’t support me cuz it’s something I really want to do with my life

      I guess we are the breakaway kids haha. Well I'm 33 now and have only travelled to Spain twice in my whole life. Awful i know but the beginning must start of my solo travel adventure. I don't know what to do or where to go but I'm just going to do it.

  • @sashak2887
    @sashak2887 3 роки тому

    Air BnB is one of my favorites as well! My mother and I always use it. It is the perfect way to experience the place you are visiting for cheap! We like to bring groceries if we are driving or if it is quite far away by car we stop by the nearest grocery store and fill up the refrigerator with cheap items like pasta and marinara sauce, salads, and sandwich necessities. In my opinion, traveling for food is not that important. We do go out and try the food maybe eat at a restaurant or two but we never get breakfast lunch and dinner. Eating out adds up in expensive areas like you said but if you are traveling to see the place and experience it I don't think giving up the food is such a big deal... I would rather go zip lining than eat some 5-star restaurant.
