First and foremost, hello! I hope you are all doing well. You can call me Dais. I’m 22 years old. Currently residing in upstate NY. I guess I made the executive decision to join this site as am heavily considering leaving my current life behind to be free and explore the world.
For a bit of background, I have always had a deep love of traveling and just going on adventures in general. I’ve been to most states here in the US (I moved from Cali to NY as a kid) and I’ve been to some beautiful destinations in the Caribbean a couple years back. I prefer to go to places with warmer climates and BEACHES! I also love being in the south/west if that matters! The winter weather here in NY is awful. Aside from all that, my travel experience is limited. I just know that it is my goal to get out of my sleepy town and see what the world has to offer.
I apologize if this isn’t the correct forum to post this on, but I was hoping if anyone had tips for embarking on solo travel. I would also be open to finding someone to travel with, but unfortunately, my friends are not into this lifestyle. Granted, I will need to turn to friends and people along the way for some help. I have a few ideas I’ve brainstormed. I’m thinking of traveling to Florida and possibly settling there, but my resources are extremely limited as of right now. I’d imagine I will do a combination of taking trains, buses, hitchhiking, walking, couch surfing, among other things.
I want to be as safe as possible and do as much research as possible before I make any permanent decisions. I’m not taking this lightly. I’ve been very unhappy for many years with my home/personal life, as there has been a lot of drama and tension that has prevented me from reaching my potential.
If anyone at all has any resources, ideas, or general tips for how I could make this dream come true, please feel free to leave any comments or messages. I’m thinking about leaving soon and I want to be smart about it.
Thank you for taking the time to read this! And if there are any forums that you feel would be of benefit to me, feel free to let me know! I’m still figuring out how to use this site.
Peace!
