Paid to Travel

How i wish i could travel too but i really have limited fun..maybe soon when my kids are a lot older. I have friends who are single and able..they just went to France, Spain and Venice.

When I was young I travelled a lot and I lived and worked in 4 different European countries. At that time I wanted to live like that for the rest of my life, but today I live in my own country and I plan on staying here. I still travel as much as I can, but I don't travel for many months or work abroad. My last trip was an interrail trip in 2010 where I visited Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Poland and Germany and my next trip is in November and December this year where I am going to visit Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. In order to save up the money for the trip I had two jobs for several months. I had one job from Monday to Friday and another job in the weekends.

My last trip was in March and April 2012 to Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Uruguay. I traveled there with my five year old son and my three year old daughter. A large proportion of my money goes to my traveling and it always has in my adult years. I am following the story of a man from Liverpool which visited the most countries in the world in one year by land and sea. He carried on visiting every single country in the world. Recently he got back home and I very much hope he will publish a book detailing is adventure. He is called Graham Hughes. Another man is currently on his trip around the world over land and sea only. He is intending for the trip to last around four years. Recently he left Nepal and is continuing with his journey. He does some website start ups and gets donations from subscribers. He is called Niall. I did a working holiday and let out my cottage at age 20 years old to afford to travel around the world. I worked as a children's nanny in Finland at age 18 years old. Now I am in my 40s I still travel and do it with my kids. I have a bungalow to live in. I have mortgage payments to keep up. I am hoping to visit Eastern Europe by train next year and go to Ukraine by rail.

I love to travel, but I have to admit that it has been far too long since we've had the opportunity to travel. The reason that we haven't been able to travel in the last several years because of the health and financial difficulties that we've been through. The last place that we travelled to was Columbus, Ohio and that was in May of 2008. However, we are hoping that sometime next spring or summer we are going to be able to take our children to the beach for the first time in their lives.

No, because travel like that is 'addictive' ... not in a bad way, so it's good for you if you're committed to 'being single'; but there are lots of 'temptations to adultery' out there (other women-or-men), so I wouldn't travel like that until I were married ... and then not without my wife to guard me from 'temptation.' (Maybe that's what Jesus Christ meant with the "And lead us not into temptation" in His "Our Father"-prayer---'And give us good wives-or-husbands to keep us from gettin` in too much trouble.') Even if you don't fall into that particular temptation, traveling too much (without your spouse) convinces your subconscious that the wide world has more to offer you than you can find at home; and you risk being depressed at home if you do not consciously remind yourself of the things you can only find at home that you give up to go abroad.
