Just be careful out there. All of us wandering souls seem to start this journey in our younger years in which we can become vulnerable to people we run into along the way. While I'm not traveling at the moment, it is something that I love and seems inherent to me. It is very rewarding but can be grueling at times, so be prepared for that. Keeping a good attitude is the key. No matter how much money you'll ever come across ... obtain and spend ... the trip itself is what matters most. There will be times when you're hungrier than ever, exhausted from lugging around your gear, wondering if this lifestyle was even worth it. And then you remember why you started. This builds character.
