my 8 years travelling notes to travelers

6/27/2018

After working hard day and night over 10 years, as a Real Estate Agent, I finally decide to stop working. I left Malaysia to travel the world. I learn so much and these are  my best travel notes and tips that I've discovered along the journey.
​

LET THE UNIVERSE DETERMINE THE REST

When readers asking how long to stay in a particular country or region, I was cringe. Because the truth is i have no idea what you'll enjoy.maybe i found that things makes me happy that don't makes you feel the same like I do. I was planned to live in Turkey for 2 weeks but end up living there for  7 months. My advice is, you should pick a starting point and list down what you gonna do. You must have plan an achievement of something. You may trekking the longest or even the highest trails then dive in the sea! You know what you want.Follow your day and let the universe determine the rest !

what a backpack!

Packing less is more.My first backpack was 70 liters packed full.  My Current bag is only 36 liters! If you're not sure about packing something, then you don't need it. You don't need it. It's possible to buy most of the things at your destination. 

wake up before the sun rise.

Don't think to early. I wake up 30 min before the sunrise. Wake up at 5.30am's is great. Early mean you're the first one and you got avoiding the crowds.  Great photos must be taken due to soft diffused light, and easier to interact with locals. Hardworking people wake up early while scammers and criminals is just begin to having their sleep in.

PROTECT YOU

Bring simple piece of cloth/towel/scarf to protect your skin from sun, especially in Asia or mid-east, where the sun stinging your skin the most.Buy more scarf ! Don;t forget sunscreen with high protection.

back up !

What if.. it's stolen or suddenly lost or damaged or broken? No matter what it is, having most of my important documents and photos backed up saved my life. Back up files and photos on external hard drive as well as online software like Backblaze.

PHOTOS IS MATTER. TAKE A LOT MORE!

 Remember them! remember the places! You may only see these places and meet that people once in your lifetime. Great photos are the ultimate souvenir for you to keep. And great photos comes from a great camera! I've been all that brand all along my journey. But I will recommend you to this awesome camera. Remember this, once you got the shot,enjoy the view.Because you must enjoy the amazing views!

treat your engine well!

Yaah.. I mean your body is your best asset.Travel can throw your body out of whack.Try to sleep enough when it's hard to get sleep enough. Stay hydrated, eat healthily, well I'll recommend you to consume a lot of vege, fish is goo to maintain protein in your body. Eat fruits or fresh juice, especially orange to keep vit C's. Remember  use sunscreen to protect your skins!

stay in touch

Maintain your connection with your family, relatives and friends. Let them know where you are and post picture to Fb's or Insta will surpsrised them, and makes them to follow up your day to day routine and pictures. Send them Postcard! is lovely things to do.

THE LONGER THE TRAVEL, THE MATTER THAT INSURANCE.

We all can't figure when we'll get sick , injured, or robbed while traveling.But it happens. I used to contracted Dengue fever, lost my laptop, my passport and with travel insurance, you DONT HAVE TO WORRY! Hospital bills, stolen gear, or maybe emergency back to country hometown, Insurance get you covered. Therefore, i will ONLY recommend this particular Insurance for you to choose while travelling.

but how do i travel the world without working?

This is the major questions from my readers. Can you maintain your income? What if you're short of money? Run out all budget?  or when all the saving drains with the travelling costs. How about the house/car mortgarge? Will you get in control with all that? Did you have to sell it all for the sake of travels?
​When I decide to travels, i was in control. A travel is not just packing your bag and go. It's a life plan. I remember plan my journey in a Starbuck cafe. I was figure it all out. It takes me 3 months before I get my ass on flight. All I can say now is you must learn to plan. Subscribe below and write "How To Fund My Adventures". and you'll learn a lot more about travelling financial and what if travelling is a great business to do. You get paid for travel.
