Places to Go

 

There are so many places I want to visit and so little time left to do it. My suggestion on this and actually your life?”

Do it while you are young. Barbara and I spent the second year of our married life going to school in Denmark, then the following summer, traveling in Europe and Italy. Our only mistake was to come home before we had seen the world. We should have kept going until we had been everywhere. If you are young and unencumbered, travel now. I realize your first response will be that you can’t afford it. Think again! You can’t afford to not do it while you are young enough to appreciate it. Soon you will be married, have a flock of kids and then it will be too expensive or too late. There are lots of ways to do it. Plenty of schools throughout the world that are looking for low cost teachers from the USA to teach English to students and will give you room and board with plenty of time to explore. There are also opportunities to act as tour guides and to get openings that way. A church member from our churchy who is single plans tours with a travel company and takes parties of ten or more church members on tours every summer all over the world and goes free as a tour guide. You might even join the Navy if if you are desperate, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Join the Marines and save your money, then take a trip. You could get a job, live with you parents, save all your money, then go on  trip. Get a job on a cruise ship that will give you time off in the various ports. Just be creative and travel,l you won’t regret it.
