Hi guys. In a few months im leaving my home country alone and travelling around south america alone dor atleast 1 year minimum.

Im very excited, but also cant predict how it will be. Im assuming i may get lonely somtimes etc

Just wanted to ask for those that have or are currently aborad alone for a extended time how is it ? Do you get lonely somtimes? Do you get bored somtimes ?

Another thing for me is im wondering if i would get bored ? Because im not going to be working whilst overseas. Im predicting i will need somethings to occupy my self, sure traveling will be amazing but once i set up a base i think i may eventually get bored and want to occupy my time, im considering having a go at a online business for something to do.

Anyone else abroad for a year or years without working ?

    I started last year and my trip back home is getting less and less frequent. I am adapting more to this life. I go back to place I have already visited and slowly expand. I think my method is fairly sustainable for doing this very long term. You don’t need to do 1 single 1 year trip imo.

    Meet and date people. Locals if possible. Be a good person, date people you can form some sort of deep connections with and leverage their social capital. You can re-date them on your next visits.

    Home-base - Australia

    December to February 2023 - Bali March - April - Australia April - June - Bali June - August - Mexico and USA August - November - Bali and Singapore November - January - Nepal January - February 2024 - Phillipines and USA February - March - Australia March - Undecided - Bali

    Another thing is have a goal in all of your trips and have a hobby. The reason I am going back to Bali a lot is that I have taken up surfing. I met few cool people surfing in Mexico and learned some Spanish.
