Comments on: Why I’m Perfectly Content not Quitting My Job to Travel https://casualtravelist.com/not-quitting-my-job-to-travel/ Travel and food, with a dash of adventure Mon, 02 Jan 2017 22:27:50 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Alex S https://casualtravelist.com/not-quitting-my-job-to-travel/#comment-25283 Mon, 02 Jan 2017 22:27:50 +0000 http://casualtravelist.com/blog/?p=4715#comment-25283 First, this is a great list! Each one of the reasons you listed are for others the reason why they want to quit the 9-5 world. For some, it’s an opportunity to escape. For others, it’s about exposing themselves to new cultures and food and becoming more “worldly.” Personally, when I did work in the corporate world it felt as though I sold my soul to the devil. I was great at my job, got to travel a ton, but it wasn’t fulfilling. Quitting my job last May to follow my dream of helping promote local business in ski towns throughout North America I’m traveling less, making less, ad working more but it’s the happiest I’ve EVER been. Was it worth leaving the stability? Absolutely! Do I miss being in a different mountain town every weekend chasing the snow? Of course, but I wouldn’t change anything. It’s every person’s goal to find a job they love doing because that’s what your going to spend the majority of your time on. Anyways, keep up the good work!

I agree on both accounts!

I really do have the best of both worlds

That sounds like an incredibly rewarding job!

Maintaining a home base requires that I am discerning with my travel destinations and also encourages me to find the hidden gems closer to home. It doesn’t make us any less adventurous or curious.

Sounds your life is just how you like and pretty darn good. As much as I love traveling I couldn’t imagine not having my comfortable home, cats and Suburu Forester either! Sounds like we’re on similar journeys!

I love your blog and this article. I am on a 9 week sabbatical from work and I am trying to figure out how I am going to pair my demanding job with my desire to travel more when I go back to work in November. I started a blog mostly for me so I can capture those memories and special times and share it with my fam and friends. We will see what happens… I have 5 weeks left on my sabbatical. For now I am getting ready to leave for Oahu where I will be living for the next 4 weeks. 🙂 keep up your blog! Hugs, Ana

There really is no place like home.
