I must confess I love to travel a lot, but it’s going to be insane if I quit my job just to travel. When I am back from having fun I am afraid there will be no work to do. Still, it’s a difficult decision and each one of us has to weigh it.
Joji(the US)
I love to travel and have been to many European countries. I am now concentrating on local travel here in the US. I have many co-workers who have never ventured out of the US, even to Canada! I tell them not to wait until retirement as it might be too late. They tell me that they are tied down because of all the debts and mortgage. I say if there’s a will, there’s a way.
Cory(Portugal)
I find it really brave to let it all go and one day decide: Yep, that’s it. I’m quitting my job and I’m going to travel around the world. It’s quite a cultural thing as well. For instance, I’ve seen a couple of colleagues doing that here in the UK, whereas I don’t know anyone in Portugal who would ever do that. We plan for the future, to save for the time when we grow older or to save for our kids. So unless you are rich, we would struggle to follow our dreams. But I do agree that life is too short, and I have no clue what happens tomorrow, so I’m trying to slow down in terms of work and travel here and there.
Linda(China)
I’ve recently been thinking about quitting my job and traveling around the world for a year. And then, who knows what after that? Even though I love the company I work for, my passion is traveling(among other things) and experiencing new things!
Cnee(China)
I’ve thought about quitting my job and traveling around the world to learn more about myself and what I want to do with my life. But my mom believes that it is a bad idea because she thinks that I work for a great company and I should just stick to it and wait for a promotion. Currently, I am not married and have no kids. I still live with my mom and I am in my 20s. I feel like it’s a good time to travel. But I am also told that it is a good time to build my career.
Emma(Canada)
I spent four months traveling through South America, followed by four months in Southeast Asia. I’m home for a few weeks until the next leg of the journey. Whether I know what’s round the comer, how my career will end up, what future employers will think, one thing is for sure: I don’t regret the decision at all. The type of experience you get is so unique and will shape your ideas and perspectives on how you see yourself and the world. It influences the path you choose to take in a way that cements your happiness.

My Views on Quitting Jobs to Travel Quitting jobs to travel seems freaky to some people. Employment is not an easy task, and career, money, promotion, and deposits for the offspring are always top priorities. However, some people have the courage to quit their jobs to travel because they think that time waits for no man, people should live a free life and traveling is also a treasure in one’s life. Whether to quit a job to travel is a Hamlet’s question. We live for ourselves, not for our parents or anyone else. Sometimes we have to follow our own goals and motivations. Nelson Mandela, the well-known South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician, and philanthropist, once lectured that "courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that. " That has encouraged many to follow their instinct. To quit a job to go traveling is just a vivid example. However, it is too abrupt to define those hesitant to quit jobs to travel as cowards or whatsoever. Different cultures mold different people and making decisions is not always as easy as falling off a log. The traditional mindset always says no to such impulsive decisions, in most cases. Firstly, traveling costs us a lot, especially for such scenarios as quitting jobs to travel. There is no doubt that quitting jobs always involves risk, and a prospect and a plan may discourage us. Secondly, there are always alternatives for travel-lovers. For instance, an employee can take unpaid time off or use PTO(paid time off). There is no need to feel guilty at taking the time off that we deserve. Thirdly, the commitment to family members is not something to blame. To abide by our parents’ instructions will comfort them, although that may sacrifice our temporary hunch. From what has been discussed above, I still cannot say which side to second. My judgment tells me that once we have made our decision, no matter what our decision is, just trust it and follow it and it will work out perfectly. Striking a balance sounds the best, but may be impossible.
