How do you guys fund your travels? Specifically the people who

I slaved as a chef for six years.

>>1290216
Just go work and don't waste your money for cigarettes, expensive poser cars and other useless stuff.

200 euro a night? In Vegas this doesn't even last an hour.

However most of the money I spent is for flights and hotels as I just fly business class and use 5 star hotels.

But with just 3000 Euro per week you can have really nice travel experiences.

No need to be rich!

>>1290216
Slave in various jobs, live with parents while doing so, then airbnb my entire trip.

I also strongly prefer hiking and cheap self made food to retarded tourist experiences like the eiffel tower or $100 meals.

Im not rich at all, but I have a job that gives me 4 weeks paid holiday, and most countries are cheaper than where I live, so traveling actually saves me money

>>1290216
I'm a single guy who makes 84k so money isn't the issue. Time is the issue. I only get 14 days vacation each year. Shit sucks

It's like any other hobby, be it cars, Anime dolls, video games, cooking, LARPing etc. Even if you work as a line cook for ten bucks an hour if you put away all your disposable Income and just play Vidya/eat at work/live with mom you'll eventually have enough for a kick ass trip and live the good life from a week or two.

I work 2 jobs while going to uni for those long term funding goals
Planning to go to thailand/malaysia/singapore in february

>>1290325
>>1290325
That's my worst worry desu. Gonna graduate in a year with an EE degree, so I'll have money but am worried about how little vacation time I'll be getting

>>1290216
I am a IT network engineer/consultant, I work my ass off and take 2 x 2 week holidays per year overseas.
I don't own a car, live within my means and save and invest as much as possible when working but when on holiday only stay 5 star and that's my time to relax and spend on myself.

>>1290227
> 3000 euro a week
> 12,000 euro a month

are you fucking retarded?

>>1290325
lol I love living in Scandinavia

>>1290216
I work in banking and with the same group I started with 6 years ago. 25 paid vacation days + federal holidays per year. I also get 3 remote days per month (can work anywhere with a good internet connection).

I live in a major city so it's easy to get to the airport Weds/thurs night, lots of direct flight options to Europe arriving early morning and spend a long weekend returning Monday.

Also no car, 1br condo and cook my own meals to save money

>>1290227
So you're living a frugal life just to save money only to throw it all out while traveling?

Construction Manager, make roughly 100k usd a year and have a 150 per diem account, but i was sent to North Dakota so not all good. And I mainly eat like sandwitches and shit and save the per diem money to travel, dropped 3-4k on a trip to the alps a couple weeks ago, it was nice

i must be holidaying incorectly... $25-30k AUD for 6 weeks in russia/japan

>>1290407
Read it again. Think again.

Guess who of us is the retard.

are you really asking how people make money? are you fuking retarded?

Work in data for a large firm - they're unfashionable and I came from the banking industry, so they ended up paying me well over the odds.
30 days holiday + public holidays. Been to Italy and Bulgaria so far this year, going to Greece and Austria in the next few months.
Works out pretty well.

>>1290503
Yea, you. You are the retard. Throwing your dick around "biz class flights, 5 star accommodation... you too can have a really nice vacation for the low price of 3,000 euro a week"

Dude, you are larping hard.

>>1290523
Well, reading your shit one doesn't get the impression of you being over educated. May explain why you can't afford some nice traveling.

>>1290347
that's what my degrees as in also. after a couple years i'll get 20 days per year at least. i wish i could make half my salary and only work 6 months a year but no jobs let you do that

>>1290408
cause you have more vacation? i could actually get a job with more vacation in the US but i chose not to because they are uninteresting to me. there would be literally no jobs in my field in scandanavia. i would rather have less vacation days and like my field

I work a seasonal job as a fork lift driver and travel in the winter.

>>1290216
Fucking 24 hour door repair. Started at $22 hour. On job training (ride around and smoke weed with a guy that's done it for a few years) for 1 year. 5k a month with complete bennis. All the time off you want. *gov bonuses. Work on gov property get $65-75 an hour. But only once in a blue moon. Meet an married a spanish girl from Madrid now I get free stays in Europe.

This fucking tard would rather see it as boasting instead of seeing it as someone telling everyone there's good jobs out there in the labor market that are good paying and chill. You just gotta not be an asshole and talk to people in the street. Saw a guy asked him what they pay and how he liked it> hit up the company> b.s.'d my wayh through the interview. Now I can go where I want when I want. Way better than 12 years I spent as a chef.

I'm a happy 29 years old guy, have a long term relationship and I'm not rich at all.

However I prefer comfy traveling and set my lifes priorities in a way that allows me to book expensive flights and hotels.

On the other hand you look very unhappy with your life - or is there any other reason why there is so much hate coming out of you.

I hope you turn lucky soon, bro!

I'm a escort and still a student. I go to dinner/events with rich as fuck hardcore closet fags and pretend to be their GF/fiancee/wife as long as we're in public. With the full backstory and proofs service.

Can't beat $20k cash for a weekend of fine dining, meeting top tier CEOs/politicians and going home with a new wardrobe full of top of the line designer cloths, bags, jewelry and other accessories.

I'm a sugar daddy and I don't pay anywhere near $20k for a weekend. You must be extraordinary in bed for men to pay out that much. My sugar babies are perfectly happy with $1k a weekend, and I seriously doubt you're at all prettier, smarter, or more fun than any of them.

>>1290676
Well, it's more the business class flights which aren't much cheaper then 2000 Euro most of the time.

Glad you like good hotels - however I prefer modern styled hotels - not so much the good old grand hotel style like in your picture.

Enjoy your comfy traveling, you are doing it right!

(Never used a travel agent however)

I never fucked one of them and never will. They pay to not look gay (all my clients are) and not get embarrassed by the bimbo that can't write his own name nor knows the difference between astronomy and astrology that goes for 1k a weekend.

>>1290768
Yeah right. You're telling us that you get $20k for a weekend and don't even put out? If you don't spread your legs whenever ordered to you're not going to get a single cent from anyone except some really mentally fucked beta cucks.

I own my own company and we work in the internet marketing space which means we do a lot of media buying/ad spend. What does it mean for a small business owner when he puts $500k in adspend annually through his amex? A metric fuckload of points. I don't even dip into my own pocket to afford travel. And if I did, it would be through the business as a deductible expense at a 40% discount

>>1290845
Not OP but have you ever actually partied hard in Vegas?

VIP Table $1,500 US gets you 1 bottle
$200 bottles there after of vodka and mixers
$160 for ball of Coke.
$300 for decent room.

I think I blew about $10k in Vegas in a week. 0 regrets. Living in Australia I would get fuck all for my money compared to this.

>>1290852
I know that feel. Money isn't an issue now for any type of holiday, could easily travel around the world continuously. I find myself to stressed from the work that brings in this money driving my coke habit and giving 0 fucks about actual travel and anytime I actually think about somewhere new I get stuck in the what's the point just the same fucking experience as here.

The last few times I have gone overseas I haven't enjoyed it as much as I should have just thinking fuck can't wait to get back home to my own bed.

Hopefully this passes and I can go back to feeling the way I used to about it. That excitement. I think a lot has to do with the age just turned 29. And thinking I only have a good year or 2 left until I look like an absolute sad cunt and will need to settle down with a misses and kids bringing and end to everything for the next 18 years.

I am almost 26 and these are pretty much the feelings I am having now. Just a weird form of existentialism. Money has never been a concern so I just don't know what else to do with myself. I see a lot of my peers getting married, buying a house, having children, etc... but then I also see a lot of people just living the single life and working. It seems like a rat race either way you go. I dunno

>>1290216
>Specifically the people who talk about dropping 200+ euros a night in London, Vegas and New York, what do you do for a living to have that kind of expendable money?
For most of my traveling career, comprising quite a long time now, I've had full-time professional jobs, as has my wife.

So we don't have serious constraints on our budget, just on our time--it's hard to take more than ten days or two weeks at once before someone starts missing you at the home office, even if you get 20 or more days off per year, as we both did, being relatively senior (perhaps obviously, we are Americans). I also used to travel internationally a lot for work, so I often had a few free weekends or more tacked on to my business trips, along with earning a lot of miles.

Nowadays, I'm self-employed in a reasonably well-paid, quite specific field, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I can work remotely. And my wife is senior enough in her relatively normal corporate gig that she has some flexibility, people who work for her who can fill in when she's gone, and a special "sabbatical" leave benefit that allows her six uninterrupted weeks off every few years.

>tl;dr: We have careers and make money.

My man, I paid 300 euros for a round trip flight from Cologne to Miami, 10 day vacation that cost me around 700 euros total (including the flight).

Some of us have enough disposable income that we can pay 3000 euros for a business class ticket without batting an eye. You simply don't understand what a world of difference it is to fly business class in long haul.

But keep on calling people idiots just because they don't conform with your angry poorfag Real Traveller(TM) viewpoint.

>>1291083
I can't afford to travel business, I only do it through miles redemption, but talking of transoceanic flights there is a reason why people who can afford it do it: it makes the chore of flying an actually enjoyable experience. Same reason people drive premium cars, dine at fine restaurants or sleep in a 10k bed. We all have to commute, eat and sleep. But if you can afford to do it in an enjoyable way, why not?
Your post just shows ignorance.

I never understand how people don't get this. I worked as a teppan chef for a year and a half, saved all my paychecks and only spent my tips on what needed to get done and had 18k saved to fuck around with. Then this summer I got a serving job and again socked everything that wasn't bills away. After car, insurance, phone, groceries, dental bills and rent I still had 3k so I bought a trip to Japan. Everyone you find who talks about how hard it is to travel goes to Starbucks daily

>>1291293
I regularly fly business for my job and I understand and usually demand it as I need to be fresh and ready as soon as I jump out of the plane.

But I'd never fork out that much with my own money. Being slightly more awake don't justify the 1500 extra bucks for a flight, ffs.

I never rag on people for splashing cash

>>1291358
By "most travelers" you mean on this board or in general?
People from the middle class tend to underestimate the amount of people in the classes above. There are LOTS of people out there making big $$ and spending big too. Of all boards, it doesn't seem far-fetched that /trv/ would have some well off people.
I, myself, am far for rich, but I earn about 5K€ a month and if I didn't have other expensive tastes (living in a very nice area, driving a premium~ish car, riding a brand new motorcycle and spending money on various stuff like a fucking child) I could afford flying business. I still only stay at nice hotels, eat in nice restaurants and indulge when I travel. I could easily last a month on a 1week budget, but I have no desire to live less comfortably traveling than at home...

>>1291345
Because it would still be a sacrifice for your budget. Some people buy a business class ticket just like you and I when we buy the cheapest economy seat available.
Also if you fly business mostly on domestic/ <5h flights or shitty airlines your opinion is invalid. Real business (flat reclining massaging seats, chef food with wine pairing, super nice staff) makes a huge difference in 10h+ and overnight flights. You don't just arrive "marginally fresher" but well rested, well fed and pampered. Also being able to shower and wait for your flight in the cosy environment of a lounge makes the trip so much more comfortable. Usually I'm already fed up with the whole process by the time I drop my luggage and collect my boarding pass.

>>1291369
thats cool man, some people are rich; so they travel rich.
If I could I would, I traveled with some very wealthy people in my time who wanted to try slumming it.

It's just the people who spend big to show off that piss me off, they give locals the impression tourists are all millionaires

>>1291374
I feel you man, but are you sure they all do it to show off?
I mean, I have a Rolex watch (bonus at work), and I was very cautious about wearing it as in my opinion only assholes flaunting their cash wore Rolexes. At the time I couldn't tell one from a Seiko divers watch tho.
Then I got into it and learned about watches and found out there were genuine enthusiasts out there. And that regular Rolexes were actually cheap when it comes to luxury watches.
Nowadays I smile and nod when people complain about those "show off" wearing Rolexes, while unknowingly having one just under their nose. They are making a blanket generalization about something they can't afford and don't understand.
Also I found out some people I work with have really expensive watches (think 100k and above) and I wouldn't have guessed they had that kind of purchase power. Sometimes people focus so much on something that they miss the bigger picture.

>>1291387
to be honest I see that as wasted money.
if I had ten million dollars I still wouldn't buy a 100K watch, but it's criticism unrelated to travel.

>>1291345 here

>>1291369
>spending money on various stuff like a fucking child
Ok anon, I understand the attraction for a comfortable flight. Any opportunity to enjoy a good rest far from the kid is to be taken !

Basically, of course, if disposable income is no limit, there is no point to travel in the cattle box. Yet, these services always feel "fake fancy" to me, though I very much appreciate the luggage fast track. The rest is meh.

Even though I now have some disposable income, my crusty Jew senses and the stories of my friends working in the airlines management really make me feel like business class is a bit of a scam, like overpriced gas station sandwich : it's the best available but really, it ain't good. So I stay away.

All the power to those who just buy the ticket and keep it to themselves. I simply dislike those who insta themselves in their seat, blowing 80% of their budget to upgrade to business class, doing nothing particularly nice afterwards.

>>1291227

>>1291395
So much poorfag projecting. This is why you're poor, because you spend every little penny you earn. And you assume that people who can afford a business class ticket are as retarded with money as you. You spend 300 on a flight ticket because it's all you can afford, and it still leaves your wallet empty. I spend 3000 because I feel it's worth the money and it doesn't take away from my other spending. If business class were 30000 then I wouldn't spend my money on that because it wouldn't be worth the price.

You're an example of how poor people very often have poor sense of spending and don't understand the value of money.

>waltz into the lounge. Have long, hot shower. Skype with the wife in my small private sofa, have some foods and drinks but nothing too much, don't want to spoil my appetite.
>boarding time! Walk up the queue, priority boarding for the win.
>champagne Monsieur? (I had juice)
>play with the massaging fonctions of the seat
>take off, menus are handed. Fine foods, 4 courses, matching wines to chose from.

>>1291391
That's the point about hobbies. If you had 10M, would you spend 100K on anything? A boat, a car, a lifelong RTW trip? Anything you spend your money on will be a waste in someone else's eye...just live and let live.

>>1291401
I think it's funny that you assume I am poor because I'm chastising you for your blatant waste of money. Genuinely, it's intriguing how someone who was obviously born in a poor household projects their internal anger at everyone who they believe is poor. You use economic standing as an insult because you know the constant ache of poverty from first-hand experience.

>>1291391
A watch of that caliber actually retains its value and will often appreciate. Even your standard $10k Rolex doesn't really depreciate. That's a poor example of a waste of money.

>>1291429
Well, it's might only apply for me but when I travel long intercontinental flights, it goes like this.

> work the whole time (consulting job)
I can either be in the lounge or at some airport restaurant, I really don't mind much.
Also, I will work until the last minute of boarding, so I don't line up either. If on a private trip, I read.

> eat at the airport restaurant - or an actual restaurant - before departure.
Food tastes poorly on board, due to the dryness of the air.
The only thing I indulge is probably wine and champagne, which you often can have even in economy (I usually fly Air France).
Air France serves some serious food : fresh salmon, great soup, meat in sauces good quality cheese, pastries, etc. But it's generally not as good as the meal I had while in the airport. It's not gourmet food I would actually go to a restaurant for, the air really kill the tastebuds.
For the service, I'm French, so I'm very much used to not so stellar service and really don't mind if the hostess doesn't tuck me in.

> work onboard
Nowadays, it's common to find plugs to charge your computer even in economy so there we go.

> sleep the whole time
Probably the most important : I'm extremely fortunate to sleep easily anywhere. I thank all the nightbuses I took while slumming it in my student years which made me very resilient.
I can easily sleep up to 10 hours and it's very common I fall asleep before the plane takes off and only wake up on landing during shorter flights.
The only aspect I really use during business flights are the short luggage service and eventually the lounge to shower and to smoke, as some airports don't have smoking rooms for everyone.
The rest (massaging chairs, etc.) are nice, but they're basically gimmicks for me at this point. Not really worth more than 200 USD really.

I might change my mind when my back and joints start to fail me but so far, with about 2 flights every other week (short or long, depends), it's been OK.

>>1291401
I'm frugal as fuck and I'm still poor. I don't spend my money on anything other than food and living. You're just a fucking nigger.

I'm French too.
When I was traveling a lot for work I would only have economy seats booked by the company, and my life was pretty much what you describe. Got lucky once for an upgrade with Air France on CDG>HKG. Otherwise I flew Cathay 90% of the time and they have pretty high standards, also I was in my early 20's so I was happy with it. Silver status gave me permanent access to the lounges and priority boarding even while traveling economy so I would shower, eat and hit the bottomless bar before boarding the plane last minute (had to ride the funky golf cart once) and crash fast asleep.Slept like a baby, too.
I still have to use economy now that I'm self employed, and obviously it hasn't killed me. But I keep thinking it's worth the tab if you can afford business. I'm tall~ish (185cm) and depending on the aisles layout a 12h flight can be a torture. Also depending on the airline the blankets are sometimes too small to cover my legs/feet AND shoulders. I can sleep easily in most conditions, but I'll still wake up with a sore neck if I slept in a bad position.
I was happy for the first few years, now 15 years later flying is just a chore.

>I was happy for the first few years, now 15 years later flying is just a chore.
Getting closer to my late 20s here, I will probably long for more comfort in the coming years, I guess.

More power to you to endure the lifestyle, anon !

Anyway, I can't wait till they bring back supersonic commercial flights, it will be great.

Stay poor filthy nocoiner

OMG has the backing of the Thai government and is partnering with McDonald's

Also the government of Estonia has announced their own crypto only today

Like I said stay poor it makes no difference to me I'm just trying to help people fund their travels

>>1291369
Oh god, it's such a nice relief to see that I am not the only one. Love your words!

Really looks like 95% of trv are some weird schmocks living in their own little world.

>>1291454
Ha, you are the "stop rolplaying" guy, aren't you? You are such a lost soul. I hope you get out of your fucking depressing life someday.

>>1291475
Nope just came into this thread, saw your retarded comments, and said something. Nice projection though. How many years were you depressed for? Or are you still depressed?

>>1291430
Someone else might find it funny that you waste thousands on anime figurines. But everyone spends what makes them happy. No point in getting angry about it.

>>1291369
It's amazing how so many posters here think that flying business class is only for millionaire trust fund babbies. Take a normal single guy in his 30s, with a decent job. He'll easily be able to spend 5k on a luxurious vacation. His 5k goes a lot farther than that of a family of 4.

>>1291503
>Someone else might find it funny that you waste thousands on anime figurines

I did? When did I do that? Last I checked, I don't own any, but hey I guess you know me better than I do

>>1291507
Yeah, people might say that you don't know how rich they are, but actually you can know a lot on someone's economic standing from their view on what is expensive and what is not.

>>1291510
It's also about priorities. I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, I drive an average priced car and I don't need expensive clothes.

However if I have to spent 8, 10 or 14 hours in an aluminum tube above the cloud, I want to have a fucking bed, a lot of space and good service.

Same goes for hotels.

You don't have to be rich to treat yourself some good stuff.

>>1291336
Can attest to this.
An even more extreme example, I'm an unemployed student going into his third year. I do translation work here and there, not even making crazy money. This past week and a half, without drinking, going out to eat, buying clothes or video games, I saved up 500 dollars. Once I removed the "fun" things I used to blow cash on all the time, I can see myself taking a very nice trip relatively soon (end of the september).

>>1291562
This is solid way to afford a trip.
However is this sustainable long terms? No fun, no treats? All work and no play seems a good way to hate where you are, artificially hyping the next trip.
Also, (not talking about you personally ) I wonder if this method explains why we have so many shut ins on /trv/ posting threads about being unable to have fun or meet people or go about everyday' life abroad (such as ordering a coffee) without spilling their spaghettis.

>work work and eat ramen erriday
>no fun, no socializing
>medium depression kicks in
>hate life even more
>finally time to travel!
>omg what have I done? Central part of my life, work, has been taken from me and I don't know how to have fun or socializing.
>spend holiday on 4chan in hostel lobby
>fly home, rinse and repeat.

Also, and various studies show that, Y generation places traveling above all other matters. So many people forget that traveling, however life altering, mind blowing, eye opening of an experience social medias make it to be, is a mere hobby.
Anon works hard and has no fun to afford the car of his dreams
>lol kiddie still plays with toy cars go watch fast and furious dingus

Anon works hard and has no fun to afford purchasing the limited edition books/figurines/Magic cards that make him happy
>lol get a life, nerd

Anon works hard and has no fun to afford getting tattooed by well known artists
>lol do you also cut yourself, edgemaster?

Anon works hard and has no fun to afford traveling
>OMG so enlightened you're doing it right!!!

>>1291562
I meant end of semester, not september. I want to go to Japan.

>>1291593
Well I don't plan to cut everything out entirely, but essentially I'm saving 75 cents of every dollar. So if I make 100, about 75 or 80 will be saved away, the rest to go out or eat something at a diner with friends and such.

>>1291458
Yeah they went full retard when they stopped operating the Concorde, I think they rushed there. Didn't seem so comfortable tho. Anyway the trend is to cram more and more people in a flight nowadays.
>>1291473
Lol if I helped make your life better for a quick moment then I'm glad

>>1291507
Tell me about it, I have a wife and kid now and I even rather not take a trip than half assing it because budget is a constraint. We still take decent vacation (5 to 8 weeks a year).

>>1291510
This takes some practice and taking interest in other peoples. I found out most people are too self centered and unaware to notice significant features on others.
If you know about them, you can notice many details on a person. Understated watch, taylored clothes, something as trivial as the socks one is wearing actually tell a lot more than a gold plated Gucci watch, iPhone 7+ and 300 bucks air jordan. Yet most people will consider the later like displaying expensive tastes.

I have tattoos on both shoulders that occasionally poke under the rim of my sleeves, a matter of half a centimeter maybe. I'm wearing T-shirts every day and every person who is into tattoos would ask me about them right away after we meet. But there are people I work with on a daily basis that fall off their chair when they find out I've been tattooed the whole time they have known me. They just don't look.

I'll never understand those types of people that work super hard, save every penny, live like a piece of shit just so they can save up for that once a year, 1 week long vacation. That 7 days is gonna fly by quick, then its back to hell. That's not a "lifestyle" I would ever like to live. You won't like to hear this but the vast majority of travelers I meet are spoiled upper middle class white kids from the US, Canada and western europe. They have no responsibilities and are just bored.

>>1291622
I don't think I would enjoy it either, but I do understand, if they really really want to travel and have no other ways of funding it, what's the alternative?

Like any hobby, to each his own, let them be bro.

>>1291622
Dpes buying more big macs, clothes, and better cars make you happier? Alcohol abuse? Partying?

Its all about your mindset anon

>>1291510
Also from the way they reply.

>Yes, I fly long haul on business because it's worth the expense for me and I can afford it
>reeeeee fuck off idiot it's too expensive you're a moron for spending your last pennies on it

>>1290216
My parents give me 900 euros every summer to go for a vaction abroad. Usually, 700-800 goes to the hotel expenses, as for the cash I add this hundred to my 300. Enough for a week, I suppose.

Currently, I'm in a final year of my LLM degree. About to start working as of the third week of September.

>>1290216
>be New Zealand
>High living expenses
>any flight overseas is going to be well over $1000 return, europe usually close to $2000+ return
you just save, dont buy anything beyond your basic needs and you usually have enough after a year for a 3 week long holiday.

I try not to blow money on stupid shit, and I save everything I can while working as much as possible.

>>1290216
Just get a job that you can handle from your laptop. My main cost is flying home to meet family. If it wasn't for that I'd stay away forever. I am scandifag, so just about anywhere is cheaper than my home country.

>>1291306
I think it is more than one opinion el duderino.

Larping about blowing a lot of money and treating it as casual just comes off as smug. Money doesn't buy class, after all.

>>1291365
As long as there are middle age mildly-successful corporate dweebs to pay the prices in their desperate attempt to pickup girls, it will a,ways exist.

>>1291398
Dude stfu ! Stop sharing this info. If people here want to learn about crypto they need to learn about that shit themselves.

>>1291430
Fucking REKT!
This faggot larping so hard "hurt durr look at all this money I blow on biz class flights... what doesn't everybody? Stop being poor stupid!"

This little middle class faggot think the people here criticizing him/her are doing it because we don't have money or lack education. It's quite the opposite. We are doing it because they are coming across as smug, arrogant, and completely lack class.

You will never know about a person/ or a group of people Who really have a lot of money because they will never talk about it because they have class.

>>1291845
Obvious samefag is obvious.

>>1291230
>even hillary clinton flies coach
actually, she doesn't
If you spot her on a flight, it will not be coach unless it's a shuttle flight for which there is only one class.

>>1291845
Ah 'blah blah larping' guy is back to repeat is boring shit again :-D

>>1290216

I don't make very much. I'm a crew chief for a very large airline that just announced the ability to expand into the far east and other destinations. However, I get an insane discount on standby flights. I'll be heading to Europe this year for less than $200 CAD.

>>1290325

Is saving, investing, then quitting your job and travelling the world for a couple years out of the options? May not be a luxury travel but with 15-20k $ savings it may be doable, especially if you decide to stay long term in SEA, Africa.

>>1292148
Another anon. I have a well paid job and could easily travel a year or more with my savings. The problem is that if I quit, I will not so easily find another job that's as well paid and with future career potential. Not worth the risk. Only if I knew 100% that I have a job waiting for me after a year of traveling I would do it.

>>1292148
Another anon too. We all wish but probably not. Many jobs with higher salaries require you to have a good network, a good place in internal politics, customer portfolio, up to date training, etc.

You lose it all as soon as you leave your job for international traveling. Yet having all those features is a big part of your worth.

You'll still find a job after a few years but it's very probable you won't even get the kind of job you had before leaving. You'll be probably thrown back to a position slightly below (2 years, say) until you get up to the level.
