What travels the world. Why you shouldn't travel. Plan your trips

• If there's one thing I've learned during my travels, it's this: the only way to get things done is to get out there and do them. No need to rant about going to Borneo. Buy a ticket, get a visa, pack your backpack - and it will happen. © Alex Garland
• Travel teaches more than anything else. Sometimes one day spent in other places gives more than ten years of life at home. © AnatoleFrance
• When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. After that, take half the clothes and twice the money. © Susan Heller

• Traveling means living a much more interesting life if you follow sudden impulses. © Bill Bryson
• In twenty years, you will regret more not what you did, but what you didn’t do. So throw off the knots and sail out of the quiet harbors. Catch the wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Open it up. © Mark Twain
• It's a wonderful feeling to board a long-distance train without luggage. It’s as if, having left the house for a walk, you suddenly find yourself in a curved space-time - and find yourself in the cockpit of a dive bomber. And there is nothing more. No visits to the dentist scheduled for a week on the calendar. No problems piling up on the table awaiting your arrival. Not all these “social relationships” from which you risk not getting out for the rest of your life. No false friendliness on the face to gain the trust of others... I just send all this to hell for a while. All that remains are these old tennis shoes with worn out soles. Only them - and nothing else. They have already grown firmly to my feet - scraps of unclear memories from another space-time. Well, it's not scary anymore. Such memories are easily banished by a couple of beers and a ham sandwich. © Haruki Murakami

• Whatever You want for Yourself, give it to someone else...If you want to be happy, make someone else happy. If you want to be successful, help someone else succeed. If you want to receive more Love in your Life, make sure that someone else has more of it. Do it sincerely - not because you are looking for personal gain, but because You really want the other person to have it all - and everything that You gave will come to You.Why is that? How it works? The very act of giving makes You feel that You have, that You have something to give. Since You cannot give away what You do not have, Your mind comes to a new conclusion, a New Thought about You, namely: You have something, otherwise You could not give it away. This New Thought becomes part of Your Life Experience. You begin to “be” like this. And once You begin to “be,” You activate the most powerful machine of creation in the Universe - Your Divine Self. © Neil Donald Walsh

• It's never too late, or in my case, never too early to be who you want to be. There is no time limit, there are no rules: you can change or remain as you are. I hope you do things that scare you. I hope you are experiencing feelings that you have never experienced before. I hope you meet people with different points of view. I hope you live the life you deserve. If not, I hope you have the courage to start over.

• No one realizes the beauty of travel until he comes home and rests his head on an old familiar pillow. © Lin Yutang

• Life is like a delivery service: we get what we ordered. © Stephen Covey
• I think that everything in life is art. That you do. How do you dress? How you love someone and how you speak. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in and all your dreams. How do you drink tea? How do you decorate your home? Or how to have fun. Your shopping list. The food you cook. What does your handwriting look like? And the way you feel. Life is an art.

That, hoping to catch a wave,

I'll go out for bread one day

Part of you should love the world and admire it, while the other should wait for the blow and be ready for war. © A. Solovyova

• You set your own boundaries. And they are only in your head. And no more. You choose where you will work and how you will study. What grades will you get and what color will your diploma be? Your work is your choice. The choice of your dream city is yours. And only you will choose your path. What do you want - an easy, carefree life or a narrow road full of adventure?If you don't have a dream, it means you're working for someone else. Do you want this?The choice is yours. You set your own risk level. You set the limits of your ceiling, above which you cannot jump. You choose where to develop and what to delve into. What is important and what is not worthy of your attention. You choose how to think about people or not think about them at all. Every day is a choice. And he's behind you.

Fear and risk are required stages if you want to live a successful and interesting life. © Jack Canfield

• Conquer yourself. It is better to defeat yourself than to win thousands of battles. Then victory is yours. Neither angels nor demons, nor heaven nor hell can take it away from you. To conquer yourself, you need to conquer your mind. You must control your thoughts. They should not rage like sea waves. You may think, “I can’t control my thoughts. A thought comes when it pleases. To which I answer: you cannot stop a bird from flying over you, but you can certainly stop it from building a nest on your head.” © Buddha Gautama
• To live, you have to struggle, get confused, struggle, make mistakes, start and start again, and give up again, and fight forever. And calmness is spiritual cowardice. © Leo Tolstoy
• The window of the carriage is the main entertainment for the traveler. In it, as in a kaleidoscope, stops, villages, forests flash by, bridges fly by under the metal whistle of riveted beams, fields open up, changing their color from white to black and from green to yellow.

In motion, everything seems so cute and a little toy-like, as if it weren’t real. Looking out the window, the passenger becomes a little child, discovering with surprise how huge the world is, how much space and air there is in it, and not just the usual streets and houses.

There is a secret charm in the carriage window, when you look at the lullaby rocking of the wheels and do not hold your gaze on anything. The pictures fly by, as if blurred by a brush, and from this measured movement and constant change of impressions you plunge into a light drowsiness in reality, and thoughts come to your mind by themselves and just as easily disappear.

Sometimes you want to go to nowhere. Just drive and listen to your favorite music, look at the flickering lights, look at all this city bustle. Forget about all the problems and just enjoy.

• It's not people who create trips - it's trips that create people. © John Steinbeck

• A good traveler does not have precise plans or intentions to get somewhere. © Lao Tzu
• Tell me, what changes in a person’s life after going to the mountains? Worldview. He begins to look at life differently. Values ​​change. There is no money, no usual amenities. Returning home, newcomers begin to understand and appreciate the delights of simple things, people begin to have a different attitude towards the benefits of civilization. After all, up there, far from home, everything that happened before the hike seems like a fairy tale. In the mountains, completely different demands are placed on people than in the city.
• There are three traps that steal joy and peace: regret about the past, anxiety about the future, and ungratefulness for the present.

• When you travel without knowing English, you begin to understand what it means to be born deaf and dumb. © Philippe Bouvard
• This happens to me too. I look at the map - and suddenly a wild desire arises to go to God knows where. As far as possible from the conveniences and benefits of civilization. And see with your own eyes what the landscapes are like there and what’s happening in those parts. To fever, to trembling. But you can’t explain to anyone where this desire came from. Curiosity in its purest form. Inexplicable inspiration.
• Remind yourself often that the purpose of life is not to accomplish everything you set out to do, but to enjoy every step you take along the path of life.
• It's easy to love life when you're abroad. Where no one knows you, and you are alone, and your whole life is in your hands, you feel like a master like never before.
• You also get used to loneliness. It’s even possible to have a completely harmonious union with him: you live alone with yourself, cook dinner for one, fall asleep in front of the TV and don’t wait for the savior to appear, which anyway only happens in books and films. Yes, this loneliness is painful, frosty, but it is honest - it is better to be alone than with just anyone. © Elchin Safarli

• Once a year, go somewhere you have never been before.
• I decided to go on a trip, a real, big trip that probably everyone dreams of, but never has time to decide on. Every day I felt more and more clearly the need for this, and not because I wanted to see new interesting places, but because I did not feel attached to any place. Andrey Sidorenko.
• Losing your way while traveling is unpleasant, but losing the reason to go further is even worse.
• Life is a journey. For some it’s a trip to the bakery and back, for others it’s a trip around the world. © K. Khabensky
• You know, when I woke up this morning and looked back at my life, I thought: “Should I be afraid to take risks and do what I really want to do, not paying attention to other people’s opinions and criticism of me? Not paying attention to the imaginary fears that my “smart mind” draws, distancing me from the realization of my desires?” Death happens to a hundred people out of a hundred, not to ninety-nine, but to a hundred people. Is it worth worrying about her if the moment comes when she knocks on my door and says: “Well, it’s time!”? I think the worst thing is when she knocks on my door, and I, looking back at my life, will very much regret that I had the opportunity, but I didn’t take the risk. That I could approach the girl and meet her, but I was afraid that she would send me away. That I didn’t have time to tell my parents how much I love them and don’t want them to fight. That I didn’t quit a job that was boring and uninteresting to me and never took the risk of opening my own business. I will regret that I did not travel much and did not take care of my health. Etc. Now, when I have any doubts, I ask myself one question: “What am I afraid of?” and there are no more doubts. © Alexey Demidov
• Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember that you have the strength, patience and passion to reach for the stars and change the world.

• – What do you need to enjoy life?

– Start traveling!

Be happy now.

Don't forget: she is your creation.

Two years ago I left my favorite job as a designer and went traveling, starting with the simplest and cheapest part of the earth - Asia. Having rafted there for two years and traveled several tens of thousands of kilometers, I have acquired a certain sense of smell that allows me to identify mocking slogans from the phrases of other travelers calling on people to leave everything and leave. And before you make the biggest mistake of your life (unless you already have children), I implore you to read the following analysis of quotes that will help you save the most precious thing in your life - time, and a few thousand bucks in your stash.

In this post, I'm not advocating for people to avoid traveling, I'm just warning people of the consequences of having high expectations.

1/8 “Quit your job, get rid of your things and start traveling” - beautiful words and nothing more.

I was one of the few who loved my job and deeply valued my privileges. It was never difficult for me to learn and start working. I easily did what I was good at and when the opportunity to leave my job came up, I really panicked that I wouldn’t be able to get it back. After all, finding a job is the first thing, and learning to work in such a way as to be needed is a skill that many, alas, never manage to acquire.

Not working with clients to achieve my goals threw me off track every day. Imagine you are offered a job for good money, and you say “no, thanks.” The process of closing the company in the register, bank accounts, and tax reports ultimately took about two years. Without delving into the fact that due to the time period and stay abroad, communication with the tax office was flawed and resulted in fines due to late payments.

When I sold and gave away my belongings, it turned out that I still had a couple of bags of things that were too precious to me to get rid of. In the end, they had to be returned to where I had once taken them from, to my parents’ house. The fact that I found myself needing these things less throughout my life is also a fact, but I simply couldn’t morally get rid of them completely. This is me, a person obsessed with things.

2/8 Travel is a luxury, not a “necessity of life.”

In the genetic lottery, I drew the lucky ticket given to me at birth - I was born into a middle-class white family with average income. My parents' priorities did not include vaccinations against deadly diseases, scarce drinking water, finding food, or moving from the slums to the city. I had a well-fed adolescence, a good education and a respectable job. I allowed myself holidays, gifts and vacations, and traveling to meet the world was something like a fantasy on TV. The very concept of the word “travel” was helped me define by Arthur Clarke and Jack Kerouac, whose heroes, for a number of specific circumstances, traveled around countries in search of solutions to life’s problems. But the truth is that many of what was written were fiction, and those that were true were meant to be tramps that were once in vogue.

While I was traveling in the Himalayas, most of my friends were working hard, paying off mortgages, student loans, or car loans, and buying bags of diapers for their children, jockeying for their jobs, knowing that this was the only right path in their lives, and who their maybe he's to blame for something?

3/8 Feeling of life, self-discovery and enlightenment.

Tasting life is not the same as feeling alive. You don’t need to go to another part of the planet to feel “alive”; all you need to do is poke yourself with a needle. If you are in pain and bleeding, you are alive. Look, I've already saved you a couple of grand.

I don’t understand how you can find yourself while traveling. Before you find something, you need to lose it. The journey is not a result, but a process in which you are who you are 100%. By transporting you from one environment to another, you will not be found or lost, but will only begin to react differently to other conditions. But when you return back to the environment, you will immediately return to your previous state, because the environment shapes you and your behavior necessary to get used to these conditions. Getting used to it does not mean finding it. The one you are looking for is an ever-changing model of your personal existence. This way, any problems you face now will be with you there too. Whether it's a loan debt or a disagreement with your wife. This will be with you during the Thai massage and Full Moon Party. And the one who believes only in his own actions to achieve some goal and encourages others to live the same way is a real scoundrel.

4/8 “You must be the person you want to see the world.”

The most natural modern cleanliness of a traveler is to do nothing and be clean. Live in communes and don’t interfere with others’ lives. Smoke dope and love everyone equally. Traveling is no longer necessary to make the world a better place. Now it’s more important to more actively reorganize the world around you, increasing good over evil, doing something directly for the world, and not focusing on yourself. This can be done without leaving home.

5/8 Motivator with the picture “You can if you want.”

My peers and younger people had an idea about the need to travel. Moving around the world began to be considered a duty, calling for forgetting about money problems. Millions of people around the world post motivational quotes to places that many people want to visit. But the truth is that most of these pictures are fabricated and their creators are lifestyle influencers. This is something like stimulating one's vanity, teasing the viewer with pictures from a life that he will never have, and making him feel like a failure and change his life in a different direction. I myself am guilty of giving false hope to many people in developing countries, because for the wealthy classes, traveling has become a way to pat themselves on the back for something that, frankly, anyone with the means can do.

Anyone who says “You can if you want” is simply a hypocrite, he either does not understand the difficulties of life, or is connected with travel companies, and is ultimately trying to sell you something. Tourism is a colossal business. In 2014, 1 billion people left their countries. This says a lot about the growth of personal well-being, but this is only 1/7 of the world's population, which means that the remaining 6 billion people cannot afford it for many reasons. By the way, these calculations also include mass immigration. The truth is that travel is not a necessity, but a competition between wealth and opportunity, and advice to “don’t worry about money” only adds salt to the wounds of those who have neither.

6/8 Getting out of your comfort zone.

Leaving your comfort zone means being aware, because without knowledge, inconvenience will begin. Getting out of your comfort zone means being prepared to see little Chinese children shitting on the sidewalk. In India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, people may spit red tobacco gum on you (accidentally, of course, but still possible). You need to be prepared for the streets of London and Paris, which in the evenings from Friday to Sunday stink of urine due to drinking in taverns. How to react to a festival where a bunch of religious fanatics drive a cow into a corner, cut off its head, and leave it there to die? Seeing poverty will collapse your personal understanding of happiness once and for all. And next time, before paying the bill at a restaurant, you will know that for the same money you can feed a village.

Traveling without comfort, staying, for example, in some budget hotel, you will undoubtedly acquire bedbugs. After all, if you have skin, there will always be someone who wants to suck on it. The problem with skin is that it doesn't have eyes. If they were there, they would show that the proboscis of a mosquito is inserted into it, which seems to drink your health from a straw, injecting malaria molecules into it, or that the deadly jaws of a giant shaggy spider are trying to bite through it.

The world may not be as dangerous as the media makes it out to be, but it is unfair, dirty and rough, and if you are left alone in some place, you can feel all its cruelty.

7/8 “Traveling is easy.” I didn't do anything more difficult.

You are not Anthony Berdine or Bear Grylls, who are paid to travel around the world and thereby entertain others. In order to climb the volcano you need to sweat a lot, otherwise you will have to pay the minions who will carry you there in a chair. It’s also not easy to find a hotel, navigate a chaotic area, and not get robbed or get food poisoning from the local food. The information media distorts reality - the world is no longer the same as it illustrates. There are almost no places left in the world that do not belong to someone, and their animals are protected in a reserve or have long since become extinct. The remaining 3 thousand wild tigers in the wild are proof of this. This is slightly more than the population of Taiwan's Lan Island, spread over an area of ​​45 km².

White man = money. It's sort of like a rule that sets up a dynamic between you and the locals that is difficult to overcome without paying.

Travel is a kind of school that teaches through your efforts. It’s as if it throws you onto a platform among cannibals and looks at your reaction and ability to maneuver. Travel is not without comfort; not everyone can withstand the constant test of endurance, weak stomach, cramped conditions and chaos.

8/8 Travel for cultures and people.

This is as absurd as looking for yourself. After all, people are the same everywhere and are not far from a global monoculture, with the same instincts and needs, and the satisfaction of these needs. They also live and work, and know that prosperity is their only way to procreate. And if you are not an anthropologist, be honest with yourself and say that traveling for the sake of cultural heritage is more important to you, only for the screen saver and the like in the feed.

And finally.

It amazes me to no end how many people set off to travel the world and then complain that the process of traveling is quite tedious and boring; that you need to take a plane, then a train, a bus, a taxi and a rickshaw. That you need to walk around the city in the heat, from one place to another. That the bacilli bite, there are no toilets or showers, food makes you swell. This is as stupid as thinking that traveling is a vacation. Traveling is all of the above inconveniences. Travel is work. And just as it is given to a person not always to love his job, home and resort will be his only places of relaxation.

Write

Life in constant motion cannot but be interesting. And also cheap. You have to pay for the constant change of places and new acquaintances. How to travel the world without spending a lot of money? Remember how many charities there are in the world waiting for help from people like you! Therefore, free travel is not a myth.

1. WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms or Willing Workers on Organic Farms)
Changing the places of words does not change the essence. And it consists of voluntary agritourism. Those who wish and suffer to work on the farm for 6 hours a day must fill out a form, where they express their desire for field work. After some time, one of the farmers will be ready to provide the workaholics with housing and food for their work. Moreover, you will be given the right to choose: from the desired country, the agritourist is shown the entire catalog of farmers participating in the program. All that remains is to dial the number and agree on the terms and conditions of your stay. You can call it a kind of barter: he gives food and bed, and you give him the result. In this case, you will need money only once - when paying the organization's annual membership fee ($20-60). The website itself: www.wwoof.org.

Today, WWOOF operates in 53 countries, from Australia and the UK to Hawaii or Taiwan. There is one in Russia too. Farmers from countries not on the list are actually also participating in the program.

3. Conservation Volunteers, Australia and New Zealand
www.conservationvolunteers.com.au is a new project in Australia, New Zealand and several other countries. The name of the organization roughly translates to “volunteer conservationists.” The common goal of the participants is to protect nature and develop ecotourism. To become a member of the fund, you need to make a small deposit. Usually it is no more than $100, which covers further food and accommodation. The British version of the fund is BTCV (British Trust for Conservation Volunteers), www.btcv.org.uk.

4. Sudan Volunteer Programme, Sudan
You can become a volunteer for this program by filling out a form on the website www.svp-uk.com. For those who know English, this is a good way to earn extra money over the summer, because the program is focused on teaching Sudanese children and students a foreign language. The accommodation conditions, of course, are not the most pleasant, but you won’t have to walk far after work: you can sleep peacefully at school or university. Project participants only pay for the air ticket; other costs are covered. Newly appointed teachers receive a small monthly stipend. Since the founding of the SVP - on March 24, 1997 - thousands of British volunteers have visited Sudan. And every year new members of the Sudanese community join the organization.

5. Appalachian Trail Conference, USA
The Appalachian Trail Conference's primary goal is to preserve the organization's 2,175 miles of trailhead, 250,000 acres of green land from Maine to Georgia. On the ATC website - www.appalachiantrail.org - it says in big, bold letters: “Our mission is to ensure that future generations have fresh air and clean water, beautiful scenery and wildlife, and finally the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors. It’s within our power!”
The first meeting of the Appalachian Trail Conference took place back in 1925. Today you can take part by registering on the website. More than 30 organizations around the world are looking for volunteers at ATC: food and accommodation are provided.

6. Trip Leader for HF Holidays, Europe
www.hfholidays.co.uk - This is one of Europe's most popular volunteer hiking organizations. So to speak, “galloping across Europe.” The main task of Trip Leader for HF Holidays is to introduce people to European nature and show all its beauty. There won’t be much to save; instead, participants will experience many adventures, including rafting and rock climbing. Particularly gifted volunteers have a future position as a guide conducting excursions around Europe. In general, you will definitely be able to relax, unwind and communicate with new people. You can select the desired location on the website by clicking on the map of Europe.

9. United Nations Volunteers - UN volunteers
www.unv.org - provides a wide range of assistance, ranging from healthcare to disaster relief. The UN offers this project to those who want to settle abroad. The UN, together with QANGOS, offers vacancies in non-governmental organizations.

10. Kibbutz Volunteer, Israel
What is a kibbutz? It is an agricultural commune in Israel, characterized by community of property and equality in labor and consumption. The number of jobs in kibbutzim far exceeds the number of labor force, so volunteers are always welcome here with open arms. As a rule, the work that visitors get is “dirty”: milking cows, washing dishes for the entire commune, or harvesting crops in the fields. The beginning of the working day is marked by the first rooster crows - at 5-6 in the morning you should already take your workplace. But there is another side to the coin: after working for a month or two, you can agree on a more attractive and less physically demanding job. So it's not all bad! You can find the most important answers to questions on the organization’s website - www.kibbutzvolunteer.com.

11. Couchsurfing
www.couchsurfing.org is a global community whose goal is to make travel around the world accessible to everyone. Having arrived in another country, a person lives with a family of local residents - community members - completely free of charge. You, in turn, can invite someone to your place in Russia.

With the usual rhythm of life, it will not be difficult to maintain a diet and exercise routine, but how to stick to your schedule when traveling? How to travel the world and not gain weight?

Traveling is exciting and educational, but even the most active holiday can cause you to gain extra pounds. When traveling, people abandon their usual daily routine in order to get as much done as possible, and do not limit themselves to food in order to try local culinary delights. Proper nutrition is forgotten, and there is simply no time left for training. We offer several secrets that will allow you to travel without consequences for your figure.

Plan your trips

If you carefully plan your upcoming trip, you can determine in advance how busy you are and schedule workouts for your free time. Even before arriving at the place, it is advisable to find places to exercise, as well as places where you can buy healthy food. Planning a trip will allow you to have time to do everything you would like and not get out of your sports schedule.

Keep active

During a flight or trip, passengers are forced to spend long hours in a sitting position; this circumstance must be compensated for by activity upon arrival. Go for walks as often as possible, use every waking hour as actively as possible. This way, your body will remain in the same shape, and the trip will become even more exciting.

Use your suitcase as a training weight

Nobody takes bulky workout equipment with them on a trip, then the lack of equipment becomes an excuse for skipping a scheduled class. Instead of strength equipment, you can use improvised objects, for example, a bag or suitcase is suitable as weighting for arm exercises.

Run through the hotel corridors

Deserted and long corridors are an amazing platform for sprints, be sure to use this opportunity. A short, intense run will burn extra calories, especially if you do it every time you need to cross a corridor. To increase the load, you can use stairs; running up the stairs will require significant energy expenditure.

Do exercises every free minute

Many exercises can be done without equipment in any conditions, primarily bodyweight exercises. In order to do push-ups, burpees or squats, you won’t need a lot of time and free space, and if you do the exercises with a backpack on your back, you will burn a lot more calories.

Rational use of every free minute will not only keep your body in good shape, but will also help you develop strength, increase flexibility, and work on your sense of balance.

Get up as early as possible

Getting up early is a good start to the day and allows you to feel energized and active throughout the day. In addition, the habit of getting up early in the morning will give you more free time to implement all your plans.

Sleep at least 8 hours

Getting up early doesn't mean you have to sacrifice sleep for it. Keeping track of your routine while on vacation is difficult, but possible. Adequate sleep is needed for the body to recharge itself with energy; in the absence of rest, the body will try to stock up on calories from food, redirecting them to fat deposits.

I use sports apps

Fitness apps on your smartphone will allow you to understand how active you are, how much you move and how many calories you burn. Some applications track not only activity, but also caloric intake, that is, they provide complete information to control your figure.

Watch what you eat

Cooking your own food when traveling is most often impossible, but this does not mean that you can eat everything that comes to hand. Carefully study the ingredients of products before purchasing in a store, and inquire about the ingredients of a dish before ordering it at a catering establishment. Unknown products and combinations can bring not only extra pounds, but also an upset stomach, malaise and other unpleasant symptoms.

Enjoy your holiday

Any trip should be enjoyable, even if it is a business trip. In a good mood, it is much easier to control the amount you eat and stay active. The ability to enjoy ordinary things reduces stress and helps you stay in good shape.

By following these recommendations, it is easy to travel with pleasure and stay in good shape. If you remain vigilant about the volume and quality of food, and also do not forget about the daily activity norm, then your vacation will not be overshadowed by unpleasant consequences.
