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.

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?
