yes! I tend to get my undies in a bunch when things don’t go as planned and feel bummed. trying to get better at it.

I do tend to err on the side of being too cheap to spend the ticket money on attractions…but I can’t think of anything that really stands out to be as ‘worth it.’ Mostly, if I really want to do something, I do it–the money factor comes in when I’m not sure if I want to do something…
I enjoy living overseas, but the visa and job aspect can be very intimidating–for an American, anyways, it’s generally easier to get a job in your own country!

Wow – the job and house exchange in Whistler sounds like it was an amazing opportunity for your family to take. Thanks for sharing and I am off to check out your blog!

In reply to Malinda. Great advice! Just have the time of your life while you're travelling.

I think cheap flights and timing is always a big toss up, you have to consider both and decide if the cost saving is worth while or not. And once you get somewhere, especially if it took a long time or a lot of money to get there, always just pay the entrance fee, do everything you want to, don’t say no. You might never get the chance to get back there again.
Thanks for joining in #wednesdaywanderlust

I do think you can regret things (especially when it comes down to saving money) but as long as they are somehow made up for by serendipitous discoveries then I think there’s no point worrying (well there’s never any point worrying after the fact and usually not before it!). I didn’t travel when I was at uni (other than the all-bunk-in ski trip) but I lived overseas, aged 41, for twelve months – my husband did a job (and house) exchange to Whistler, Canada and our daughter went to school, while our son was a baby. I got a year off from any work and organised our travel adventures to New York (twice), California and the Rocky Mountains. So you can do it later – in fact we took off for our year in Canada only 10 weeks after arriving home from China with our newly adopted baby son. The amount of paperwork required (Chinese, Australian, Canadian) still makes me shudder, but it was all worth it. No regrets

There have been a few boat tours that we haven’t taken on #ouradventureofalifetime and a part of me is a sad about that but at the same time they are incredibly expensive and if we had of done them all we might not have had the money to get as far as we did. Living in the moment can be so tricky some times. I hope you get a chance to go back and do some of those things
