I am about to upgrade my beautiful T4 transporter to something a little more substantial to travel Europe and beyond .
I love an adventure.
There is lots to see here in Wales so you don't have to travel too far for an adventure.
Scotland is very beautiful , if like me you like walking... Walking Sludge ... walking..

quit my job in my late 20s to travel around s e Asia, Australia, new Zealand and French Polynesia.
was the best thing I've ever done, I would recommend it to anyone.
my boss at the time even offered me a promotion to come back at the end of it
Everyone should do a bit of travelling, it’s good for the soul to see how others live. I appreciate it’s not for everyone and can be a cost initially ( vaguely recall you needing to show £3000 in your bank to get an Ozzie visa back in the day). I landed there with £200 at 19 and picked grapes for a few months in 40 degree heat in mildura. Came back with enough cash for a car.
I did very similar in my early 20's, Asia and Australia
My boss at the time was so keen to keep me on, he offered me a share of his business, ( he wanted to retire in a few yrs and thought I was the person to run the business with his son, it wasn't a massive business, employed about 20 blokes, but was decent enough ) of course I was young and I wanted to party around the world, so I went , in hindsight I would do it exactly the same way, as I had the time of my life
I think there’s a misconception that travelling is an expensive thing to do. A few years back me and a couple mates did 18 days in Eastern Europe and the total cost for hostels, flights, trains/busses, food and drink, etc was ~£400 which was roughly a weeks wages for me at the time.
Check out Skyscanner and when choosing a destination select “anywhere” and it gives you the cheapest flights from your chosen airport. You can get to about a dozen different countries in Europe for 40 quid return.
Same here. I try to visit 3 'new' countries a year (new to m, that is) and I love boning up on the history, learning a score of phrases in the local language and couchsurfing with local people for a night or two. However, I have checked my wanderlust for the time being as I consider it irresponsible in the current health climate.
I found travelling fairly pricey to be honest when I was in Australia
I came back around £6 K in debt ( I purchased my first house a few years later for £27 K )
I was working full time in Sydney and still managed to run up a massive debt I might have been living slightly beyond my means at times ( to my defence my PADI Dive courses and Dive equipment cost a fair bit, in hindsight getting to and passing my Dive instructor course was a little waste, to my defence I was planning on teaching Diving in Thailand ) oh and out partying every night of the week might have been a little OTT
Oz is different mind, India you can live like a king for tenner a day, bit like Mexico 20 yrs ago. Cold corona 20p!
Sydney is one of the most expensive cities in the world, property akin to London which is why you find 4 bed houses with about 30 people living there. Great place to party though and if you can sAve enough cash to do south east Asia en route home.
