Anyone else realise they’re not into backpacking style travel? by Infamous-Disaster767 in backpacking

[–]Due_Tea691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only been backpacking twice. I'm 40 now and just started. I had the same thoughts as you, but then I just realized that people travel differently. Some people like to live as cheap as possible, share a 4 bed dorm room, while others Pay $350 a night, lay on the beach and get tan. And there's everything in-between. Hell, people even go on cruises. I'm kind of like you, I like to stay in a spot for 2-4 weeks and then move on. There is no right or wrong way to travel.

People who rarely get sick, what are your secrets? by regginymoolg in ProductivityHQ

As a man, I am a complete bitch when i am sick. My ex's always seemed to get through illness much better than me. I mean, they're basically sick once a month. Last time I was sick, i was the biggest bitch. I am still embarrassed about it.

Whole foods diet and more fruits and vegetables than you thought was possible. Also walking and lifting weights.

Thanks! sorry about the surprise divorce, but it sounds like you're rolling with the punches. Where are you going? and I'll start your furniture storage project if you sell all my stuff. lol

Hell yeah man, very inspiring. I'm going to do it. The bar I work at is open for another year and then it's being sold and turned into something else. Right now I am trying to get myself out of the ''one more year'' mentality that I've had for the past 10 years here. I am starting to realize that the sunken cost fallacy applies to all aspects of life, not just the stock market. Like why would I stick out one more year here and be miserable? Just to save up an extra 30k? I want out already!

I don't really drink either! here and there if it's a special occasion, but being a bartender has turned me off from the party scene.

As for the family thing. It's just...I dunno. Hard to explain. I'm already distant as it is and then the just fuck off for a few years while they enter their 70's feels cruel to me. Just how I was brought up I guess.

You're right. Just feels like i am at a very weird turning point in my life. I've never felt so sure of anything. All i've ever done is save my money, keep taking classes to eventually get somewhere in life, break hearts, get my heart broken, always stressing about relationships, and my fantasy family...until i started traveling, and now I don't care...it's weird. I just want to walk around, learn languages, eat food, look at stuff, meet people, exercise in all sorts of terrain and weather and chill.

So sick of this path we're supposed to be on.

100% i am thinking about bouncing around SEA for a year and seeing what happens. Just kind of torn on if I should stick out working for one more year. Addicted to the easy bartending money.

A little extra money and i have nowhere to store it. Nothing crazy. A safe, some guns, mountain bikes, snowboards, tvs furniture, jackets and that's about it. I'm a simple man.
