Some travel blog’s have beautifully photography, some have well designed pages while others are full of amazing prose that give us a wonderful sense of being in the place the author describes. Rarely to they urge us to seek a better life. Andy’s Blog HoboTraveler does just that and his writing as a result is inspirational and very compelling.
I think perhaps it is his complete credibility. Here is a man who has been there, lived there, seen it, done it and got the T-shirt. He is homeless and has been a perpetual traveller for 10 years and visited more than 80 countries.
HoboTraveler.com is difficult and confusing to navigate around. But I strongly recommend that you take the time to do so. Hidden within it’s 8000+ pages are some really gems. Truisms that will inspire, comments that force you to look closely at ones own belief systems and strong opinions that he is not shy to share.
If you are tempted to venture on your travel adventure and are on a tight budget there is an excellent section on how he has funded his travel over the years. It demonstrates that with a bit of hard graft and an entrepreneurial spirit following your travel dreams is very possible.
It is so tempting to wait to follow out dreams for everything to be perfect. Often we put things off because we don’t have enough money, its not the right time, I cant leave now. Excuses are so easy to find. But please follow Andy’s example and get started. Live life in the here and now. Reach out for you goals and let nothing stand in your way.
The following quotes from his Blog give a flavour of the man and his writing.
Travel Blogs aspire to be somebody, to be a something, to be more than just one person rambling about his or her vacation.
Travel is one of the most selfish, self-centered, self-absorbed things to do on the planet, we do it alone, and all the decisions are made by us.
Make a list of all the things you want to do before you kick the bucket. When someone says, get a life, this is what they mean. We negotiate our life while living on a small precipice; we look over the edge seeing all that is possible. However, still as timid souls we ask too little of ourselves, we believe in tomorrow more than today.
I stole this tip, I am copying this tip, and I am buying into this tip from a movie called, “The Bucket List.” Two men who have terminal cancer make their dream list of what they want to do before the kick the bucket. The difference between these two men and the rest of the world is they decide to be the heroes of their life.
Make a list of all the things you want to do before you kick the bucket, then start to today to find the hero of the story. Please go watch the movie “The Bucket List,” and make all the tomorrows become today, then one day at a time you can become the hero of the story.
Once you have “The Bucket List,” you will learn there are people who love you and will help you achieve your dreams, and there will be many who say this is just a movie… it is not a movie, it is the story of your life, do not lose the negotiations, your life is at stake.
