“Don’t wait around. Don’t get old and make excuses. Save a
couple thousand dollars. Sell your car. Get a world atlas. Start looking
at every page and tell yourself that you can go there. You can live
there. Are there sacrifices to be made? Of course. Is it worth it?
Absolutely. The only way you’ll find out is to get on the plane and go.
And let me tell you something. That first morning, when you are in your
country of choice, away from all of the conventions of a typical,
everyday lifestyle, looking around at your totally new surroundings,
hearing strange languages, smelling strange, new smells, you’ll know
exactly what I’m talking about. You’ll feel like the luckiest person in
the world.” – Jason Gaspero
