[custom_adv] Have you ever wanted to quit your job, sell your stuff, and travel the world with only a backpack? Many people think about it, but how many actually do it? Lake Mary’s JP Salva is one of the few who literally walked the walk. A software developer and consultant for 15 years, JP, now 38, surrendered to his wanderlust more than four years ago. [custom_adv] JP’s travels have taken him to the world’s most remote countries, some that are difficult to reach or are consumed by poverty, and war. [custom_adv] Long-term traveling can teach you more than almost anything else. About yourself, about life, about what you need to be happy. [custom_adv] It’s too easy to get complacent at home and if you aren’t at least a little uncomfortable, you probably aren’t learning anything. This is something I hear from everyone I talk to: “Matt, I simply don’t have enough money to travel.” [custom_adv] This problem — and how to overcome it — is my most asked question. I have answered this question in a plethora of posts, emails, tweets, and Facebook posts. [custom_adv] Long-term readers might even be getting sick of me discussing this subject, because it is one I talk about so much. But I know no matter how often I address this question, it will come up again. [custom_adv] Since this question comes up so often, I like to constantly remind people of this fact: You do not need to be rich to travel. [custom_adv] Why not get a job overseas? There are plenty of opportunities in the world as long as you aren’t picky — and after all, this isn’t a career you are starting, it’s just a way to earn money for travel. [custom_adv] Even if you don’t earn a lot or you have debt, there are still ways to go overseas. Follow this ultimate guide to travel frugality and see the world on the ultra-cheap: Not making enough money at your job?
