I want to but...

So I was training a lady on something and in the mist I commented on her cute New York shirt. I said "oh you've been to New York?" She looked up and said "No, but I wish I could." I said you can.

The point:
She said she hasn't gone because she doesn't have anyone to go with. I had a relative say the same thing about traveling.

My point:
Traveling is a privilege for sure,but you do not have to be bathing in cash to go if your good at managing your money. I would also say you do not have to wait on people to pack a bag.

Do not get me wrong, it is SAFER to travel with someone especially as a woman. If I travel alone it's to close states or somewhere where I know people, but even then I let people know what's going on I trust.

It's also cheaper to travel with others usually. However, make sure you choose wisely those you travel with. I have some friends I care about, but would not want to be on a cruise with.

Picking a travel buddy:
1.) make sure you all are on one accord with your expectations & what you plan to do.
2.) you both have saved up & the person is reliable (will not accidentally leave their wallet)...
3.) you trust each other
4.) they're positive (my God, no one wants a major complainer on a trip!).
5.) you know each other well. I know sometimes a person can be brought that is xoxo's best friend, but this is your trip too so if you need to ask xoxo about his or her friend's attitude and such.

Traveling alone:
I am not telling anyone to do this, that is your choice. If you do:
1. Have your destination and places mapped out by looking up/booking locations in advance.
2.)take a gps and map (gps can sometimes be wrong).
3.) let loved ones know
4.) be careful about posting your where a bouts on the net especial if no one stayed to watch your stuff.
5.) be organized with numbers, addresses, money, etc

There are probably plenty other things to post and please do. My point is there is nothing wrong with not only being a live, but thriving in life. If your thriving means never leaving your state...do you, but for others evaluate, pray, etc, just make sure your not filled with "what if's," due to fear.

Be Fierce, Be Fine, Better You...WhyKnot?!
