Wanna travel around the world with me? That's my greatest dream! Once i made it, you can now take my life to end. Though silly as it may seem, but true, i can offer my life just to reach my dream. But i know, traveling around the world will cost so much, so expensive, and i do not have much money, i don't have enough resources to do it. Don't know where to start. If only i could see Genie and grant my wish. Or maybe you, you who have the same wish, Are you willing to accompany me in your journey? Because i better sleep all my life if i can't make it. Can somebody advise me please.

I think everybody wants to travel around the world. many dream to do what you would like to do but only a handful fulfill it.
To make it a reality, set specific goals to reach it. Save. Start with the country that is most accessible to you. If financial difficulty is the main problem, don't give up. if there's a will, there's a way. As long as you determined to make your dreams come true, I guess you can realize some of it.
I have only very few dream countries to visit. Holy Land, Rome, Holland, Africa and Spain. i don't know if I will be able to visit these dream countries because like you, my income and resources would not permit me to make it into a reality. Who knows one day, I can visit even just the two of them.

On the second thought, we cannot just limit the journey of our life to visiting dreams countries. we can make our journey the way we want it to be.
Journeying is more of making your life more worthwhile while you are still alive,like doing the best we can.If you are a student, by studying well, pass your course, have a fulfilling job,have your own family, etc. Journeying into life is more of making the best we can of what we have and not wanting what we don't have especially if we know for real that it is impossible. It can only lead to frustration and sadness. But if we just realistic and attainable goals in our life, we can achieve them, that can make us happy already. Try to notice the blessings and graces you receive each day. These are simple 'presents' that we should be thankful for. Develop that habit and you will be amazed at how life's journey will unfold right in front of you everyday of your life.
Happy journeying! :-)

There are many ways to travel the world. The only thing you need is time and the will to do so. Since you are ready to offer your life for that dream I assume you are also not too lazy to work or?
You can start walking around the world, work in between for food, a place to sleep. You can meet people and learn a lot. You can hitch hike, take a train, work on a ship. There are plenty of low budget airlines you can take to get somewhere as well.
You only need the will to do it and also being creative. You will need to be creative if you want to survive and make the journey of your life. I assume you want to see the world like it is not the world tour operators show tourist.
For some reason I think you are not creative enough to do this or have courage enough. Otherwise you would have discovered all the travel stories already at the subject: travel and also been reading the internet. Plenty of info about how to travel. You can even volunteer to work for some organisation somewhere.
If others will plan your journey you never made it. I doubt if you will sleep better then. I also find it strange you think you can only travel the world if you have a lot of money.

Thank you WakeUpKitty - I am really willing and ready to do your advise, If only i would think of my self alone, Maybe I'm not creative enough or have the courage enough to pursue my dream. But there are things need to prioritize, My earnings from my hard work are only enough to support my family which is more important to me. That's why my first step to achieve my goal is to work harder to be able to earn more that would be enough to support my families need as well as achieving my dream. Soon enough,I will have the perfect chance to make it come true. Have a nice day.

When I was 20 years old I got made redundant from my job and it was in a recession. I found it impossible to get another job and so I let my cottage out to get a monthly income. I got a working holiday visa for Australia and bought an airline ticket around the world. On my fantastic trip I visited California, Hawaii, Fiji, Sydney, Adelaide overland to Cairns, Darwin, Sumatra, Malaysia and Singapore. I worked in Australia as a children's nanny, a factory packer and a charity collector. I hope that you achieve your dream to travel around the world.
At 29 years old I did my next longest trip and that was a return trip to New Zealand with some lovely stopovers. On that excellent trip I visited California, French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, Auckland, Christchurch and Samoa. I came home with much debt on my credit card. It took me two years to pay off that heavy debt. My holiday in 2003 had to be a budget flight to Italy and camping in Croatia, Montenegro and Slovenia. I am a very experienced traveler and know that traveling around the world is an excellent journey.
I recommend budget fights, overland travel and cheaper countries. Good luck.

Indeed traveling is costly, what more if your travel around the world. We'll if you really want to pursue your dream, why not work harder and save money so that you can travel. why not start in your own country, travel around your own nation then eventually you can try other countries as well. Of course do not forget you have to work hard to reach your goal.

Don't you know that it is my ultimate dream too, to travel all over the world, my friend to dream the impossible dream is free of charge so go on with your dream just don't forget to put foundation on it. We are never given a wish without also given the power to make it come true. We may have to work for it, however!

you know, the journey of my life i can go to the abroad, but the shovel hard at first, because many tests of your dreams or travel on your life, you still need to work to earn a big money, so you can use something you'd like to be able to achieve my dreams to go to other countries like Canada and Europe, that's my dreams when i was young.

One of my bucket list is also to travel around the world. Maybe not all around the world but I would like to go to as many countries as I could. I don't want to just visit though. I want to live for at least a month in each country do I think that will be a very long time lol. Would be better though if you have someone with you.
Dreams can happen. I you really try your best, who knows :P

You know, sometimes dreams can be really hard to achieve but if you make every luttle step in reaching it, you'll get there. Nothing is impossible. So reach for it and when you do don't end your life. Just build another dream and keep moving on! have a nice day!
