About to go on a one-year trip. Do intentions matter? [24M]
I am two months out of a 2.5-year relationship and as a part of the breakup process, I realized that I stopped working toward my goals of (1) travel and (2) going to law school.My lease is up in August and I am 98 percent sure that I would like to travel Europe, Southeast Asia, and South America. I have a general idea of the countries I would like to visit by week/month and have done most of the other prep: vaccines, passport renewal, bag/packing list, long-term storage, etc. I have sufficient savings for the trip (assuming $50 a day plus airfare) and for about 4 months of expenses coming home.I also have the majority of my law school materials prepped so I just have to submit when applications open in October and deal with phone interviews abroad (google voice and skype).Currently, I have a great and fulfilling job in a field I am passionate about. I like my friends and am generally enjoying life being single. In other words, I'm getting comfortable. However, I know that I am the least encumbered I will ever be in my life right now. I feel that if I don't take this opportunity to travel between August and law school, I likely won't have the chance to travel for a year again.Part of me knows that I will regret not traveling. Part of me also worries that I may be doing so for the wrong reason - to escape from a breakup while giving up a great job, financial security, seeing my friends consistently.I am wondering if intentions matter when it comes to travel? It's hard to predict, but will I enjoy my trip if I am doing it as a form of escapism or will I regret not going at all? via /r/solotravel https://ift.tt/320Y3sl
