We are all tired of hearing of people who had really tough lives

Live in a country with very lenient welfare benefits
Or be childless until you are 35ish and invest all your savings into some investment funds and live off its yield

Have you ever heard of a personality profile test? In other words, we're all different. Your life might be meaningless already because you have no spiritual base and never even sought something, or no one has ever loved you (incl your parents), and you have shit for habits and genes (addiction). Would you long for home? Or is your home friends base, house, mattress nothing crave-able? Long for a special someone to spend the glorious travel moments everytime one of them happens because you personally don't feel complete without that life's milestone? So, yea, we're all different. How long have you been at this travel thing, are you a newb, are you low budget, are you poorly educated where you have absolutely no understanding of the humanities nor want one? Would you like a gorgeous sunset on a sailboat as the highlight of your day, or would it suck without some people around you to party with? Do you have a drive to make your parents proud and be making grandchildren, getting some of the toys your peers can afford but you can't, etc.

Most of the people I see who travel are aimless in life and spending savings until it's gone (not very smart). They might have a skill like welding, or oil worker, something in demand but where working gaps aren't cared about. They are post breakup, post work project (and I mean like 3 years of say 90hr workweeks of programming for instance) or not sure what to do next (talent careers or unfinished education). I know some college grads like myself that work per diem, ER doctors, people who do vacation relief for large companies they _used_ to work for at full-time. I know a good number of people who have great investments post tech boom and still going strong through rental properties they maintain, like this guy said, a fixed income you can get by on >>1177640
There are also people who teach abroad, which I don't recommend unless you have some desire to meet your future spouse there.

Answer to all of those is "depends"

For myself, I can't go for longer than a couple of months before it all starts to feel pointless and self-indulgent and want to get home to do something of real value, but your mileage may vary.

I like this guy.

Took me a while to admit it but you basically described me (with aimlessness)

traveling is over rated

Why are you here, then?

I understand. It has a lot of "ifs". The thing is, I've only had a real trip once, spend 3 months by myself in germany. It is pretty tiring, in the physical sense, but I just loved it.
I have been having a lot of melancholic feelings lately, about life being pointless and stuff like that, but the hope of being able to travel one day seems to have started a new fire in my soul, and it feels great. I really want to do it, I want to do something spectacular with life.

Problem is I can't think of the after. Maybe I shouldn't think too much forward.

I was just thinking, can I make traveling into the meaning of my life? Can I turn my life into a constant adventure? It would be so amazing.
