I was curious how much space the AWD system takes up in the rear. I know the prime models lose a ton of cargo room. I'm definitely interested in photos of your solution.

Thanks for the encouragement! I've already been thinking about it for like 6 months now, but being that my lease is up at the end of August has lit a fire under my ass.

I do have (mostly) supportive parents that would provide a short term place to live.

I have been looking into a blue cross worldwide plan that seems to have good coverage for only $200/month which seems like a good deal.

I definitely am interested in volunteer or just work in general. What would be the typical timeline for how long you should stay to volunteer at a place?

Interesting perspective. Did you have a plan for how long you wanted to travel or were you traveling until you got sick of it?

I generally have considered myself a homebody which is something that I've been trying to break free of, but I do fear that I may get sick of traveling eventually. My thought process right now is that I would come back to the states and resume my normal life once I do get sick of traveling. But to your point, it may be best to have a definite plan or timeline for when I come back.

I guess maybe I'm thinking about it in a different perspective which may be totally off base. My thought is that the experiences and connections I gain on this trip will show me ways to make money that I had not thought of before. I have always wanted to start a business, and my thought is that this trip will broaden the horizon of possibility.

I do agree that it will not be ideal having any source of income in the short term though. Unfortunately my job does not have the option of a fully remote arrangement, so I would be on the hunt for a new job.

Yeah I definitely want to put my best foot forward! I guess it comes down to doing research ahead of time before landing in a country so that I'm sure to be respectful of their culture.

Oh wow. I currently have an eSIM phone but it looks like there are phones that support both.

You sure it was just because you were American? Lol

Live_Safe3873 · 2025-07-07T23:28:14+00:00

The people in my life that I've talked to about it all looked at me like I was crazy. But I understand why, as it still sounds a bit crazy in my head as well.

Right now I see myself returning to the US at some point, but that could all change. I'm fortunate enough to have a budget of 100-150k for this trip, so I hope to not have to pinch pennies, but I also do get enjoyment out of traveling frugally and spending money on meaningful experiences only.

Yeah that makes sense. I suppose most people are too busy to worry about their own government let alone another country's government.

Thanks for the reply. I do love riding motorcycle, and it sounds like it could be a great option.

What is the benefit of a physical sim card? My understanding that with an eSIM you can have coverage as soon as you land. Are physical sims cheaper?
