For myself, it would be a quick and easy decision to pack my bags and journey off to the wild. All my life, I’ve vowed and longed to see the world and all of its jewels. I’ve been fortunate enough to do some traveling of my own but often, life’s limitations hold me back at the moment from backpacking. But alas, nothing will stop me from completing this goal.
So lets throw in a new variable. Lets say you did win a million dollars, or any large prize amount that would allow you to travel. Money is obviously not a limitation factor in this equation. If I had a million dollars, I would see every part of the world I possibly could get my hands on. The world would be my lemon and I’d make tons of lemonade. I would continue to live a pretty frugal lifestyle; having most of my money in the bank and budgeting myself accordingly, but once in a while, lavishing and enjoying the fact that I am abroad.
For me, its the challenge of self budget and self control that is appealing. The money would go to the hard and expensive parts of backpacking such as transportation. Once in a while a hotel would be dandy, but its experiencing the life adventures with other backpackers that I would miss out by not being in a hostel. Sufficed to say, even with a million dollars, I’d just make sure I’m comfortable, safe and doing every adventurous and fun experience I possibly could!
Put yourself in these shoes: What if you won a million dollars?
How would you go about traveling? Would you remain on a backpackers budget or go buck wild and spend it all?
