So as the title says, how did everyone start doing what you you're doing, travelling i mean.
I'd be really interested in hearing how everyone started out.
For me it was an unexpected affair, i was on track to qualify in the job i'd been dreaming off for years then a few months from qualifying all shit breaks loose and everything just ends up going down hill from there. I quit the job i loved and became a recluse only going out for the essential. Depression had hit me hard even now i don't know what started it, all i know is in a strange way it probably helped me more than i initially realised. It allowed me to discover who i really was and not what some education system had wanted me to become. it also fuelled my love for being outdoors and travelling.
Now a year later i've never looked back and am happy with myself. In time i may go back to it but for now i am happy and intend to keep it that way.
So how did everyone else start?
