For over a decade i have lived outside of my country. And due to my job i was always traveling. A couple of months, in one country, a year in another or a couple of weeks. Life was always on the road, my home was where my bed is at any given time. It was fun in the beginning, exciting with every country i visit and worked but then it became tiring and the lack of permanence left me feeling unstable. What about you? Would you enjoy life on the road?

Since i was young i have dreamed of traveling and living in a different place. I can now sense that it is not that good dream? I may also enjoy it somehow. Honestly i wanted to experience what you have tried.

I think there is no right and wrong in regards to dreams! You have to experience it to know it and live it. You will enjoy it, traveling is actually one of the best education I have in my life. You should experience it.

yes when people are new to this kind of jobs really enjoy to work in full energetic way, with lots of excitement as they can see many places, travel to other country , its feel very amazing at begging , but after a certain time we feel frustrated with this same job, because a time comes when we thing to get settled at a permanent place and a permanent work environment.

Yes Kajal1992, definitely after a while we look for permanence and stability. But of course each travel is still excitement but it would also make a difference if you travel for work or for leisure. :) then everything looks in a different level.

I enjoy traveling, but I do not like living on the road or traveling. The trip is part of life, but life is not part of the trip.

You are truly blessed! The journey is more exciting than the destination. Every journey is a learning experience, new people, new places, new things to discover! Well, you can always settle in the Philippines and make it your home!

In the beginning when it was new to me, it was all great, even if I travel more than a day just to reach my destination was an amazing experience. But after a decade of doing so, things changed, my perspective changed and how I see it, also changed. Before I only see it as adventure and learning, now its more like a task.. but it is still the best education in my life. :)
