Tim Ferriss’ Post

Ever heard of someone who was laid off and then decided to embark on an Italian vacation? Sounds absurd, right? But let me share a story that might change your perspective. A client of mine, freshly out of a job, made an unusual choice. Instead of tightening their belt and hunkering down, they chose to pack their bags and head to Italy. Why? Because they believed in the power of experiences over material possessions. They could have succumbed to a scarcity mindset, trading the richness of life for the fear of being perceived as 'poor'. They chose instead to invest in an experience, a memory, a lesson. They chose not to limit their life to their current financial situation. Fast forward ten years, they are now financially secure and happier than ever. They often look back at their vacation, not with regret, but with a sense of pride and accomplishment. That vacation became a testament to their belief in living life to the fullest, regardless of circumstances. This story isn't about reckless spending, but about understanding the value of experiences over financial status. It's about breaking free from societal expectations and choosing what feels right to you. So, the next time you find yourself at a crossroads, remember this story. You have the power to define your narrative. Don't be shackled by the fear of financial setbacks, instead, embrace the richness of life's experiences. Now, ask yourself: Are you letting your circumstances dictate your life, or are you choosing to live it on your own terms? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

To retire allows some of us to travel even more than we can imagine. For others, we might always travel. And for another group they might never travel. So it is always a possibility. And if you retire (at whatever age you might be) there are many things to do and wonder. Not only where to go and when. But maybe what you need to do to take that trip and really see the world you always wanted to see. Whether it is here or there. Maybe with a little more time on your hands the possibility is endless. So put together some notes and pack a bag to explore. It is helpful. There is no rush to get back to work. There is a rush to see what is out there. Sea. Travel. Enjoy. Explore. #seeing #learning #explore #travelagent #travelandleisure #travelplanning #history #education #retire #options #solo #thoughts https://lnkd.in/eacc6F9R

💭 “For years, you’ve toyed with retiring abroad. It is an enormous undertaking, but the first step is simple. If you’re ever going to live in a foreign country, you’re not going to do it just by daydreaming or sitting at home reading expat memoirs and blogs. You’ll probably need to visit a place a couple of times, maybe more, before you’re sure.” ⬇️ Deciding to retire abroad is an important decision, one that needs to be planned very carefully and in advance. Here are some tips if you are considering this lifestyle choice, or even if you want to move into this new tourist market.  https://lnkd.in/g6teG8D4

It was in 2021, when I first packed my bags and left for the full-time backpacking venture. Later, there came chances when I had to live in the city, follow schedules as well as, had to keep checking the calendar for the bills. But at the end of the month, when I would look back to where and how the month began for me, I would see that not much had changed and I would find myself in the same place. Whereas if I were constantly moving, traveling, my life would have been changing on it's own. Now, when I leave for a journey, I'm aware that I also have to be back soon. At times, it irks to have somewhere to return to, however, to have a private space is for sure a privilege. People who have been sanely/happily living in their accomodations might not resonate with what I have to say here, but hear me out, don't you agree, that traveling breaks the expected patterns? I have heard many people say that they want to once make so much money that they could travel all their lives. But I fear sometimes, will we waste ourselves if we start living the vacation in our early 20s itself? Where are we all heading though? The only thing that I love at this moment is the fact that I can see new places all by myself. I'm scared that can change. Infact, I have experienced the most beautiful things, when I was seeing the new landscapes. Who do I blame for this desperation to see more, and to keep seeing, reading, writing more. #seeing #traveling #write #journey #narration

Day 160 of the sabbatical: Time to reflect. As I type this text in Cusco, Peru, I cant believe how fast the time flies. Here’s some pointers of the journey so far: 💡 8 countries visited; South Korea, Canada, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Bolivia and Peru. 🚌 50+ bus rides, 10+ nights in a bus and 6 flights taken so far. 🏔️ 1 new altitude record broken at 5430m, Chacaltaya Mountain in Bolivia. 😵 6+ weeks spent in 3300+m above sea level. 🌠 2 modern wonders of the world seen: Machu Picchu and Christ the redeemer. 🏒 2 childhood dreams fulfilled: NHL game in Vancouver and soccer game in Rio de Janeiro at Maracaña stadium. 🥾 60+ days hiking nature trails (900+ km) and 20+ days camping. 🥷 0 times getting robbed. Its not safe everywhere, but street smarts and common sense gets you far. 👩❤️👨 0 divorces despite spending 24/7 together with my wife. 😃 🍜 50+ new dishes and exotic fruits eaten! 💸 100%+ inflation of Argentina, the currency crisis and the economic crisis the people go through, makes you realize the issues in Finland is nothing in comparison. Can you imagine how it feels as an entrepreneur when the 100 EUR received from the customer is worth only 50 EUR one month later, and you cant get access to stable currency due to government restrictions, but you should still pay 100 EUR worth of salary to your employees at month end? 🇫🇮 0 people have negative assumptions about Finland and most often they're neutral/positive or they have no idea what's Finland. 😂 This is something to be grateful about as it makes traveling easy. Then perhaps to the most important point. ♾️ Infinite number of cultural stereotypes have been broken and dozens of new friendships have been formed. The assumptions of South America have been replaced with first hand experiences. This is why everyone should travel. If everyone are humble and open minded, gets to know people from other cultures without media/history bias, there would be less racism, less wars and the ridiculous illusion of one race/nation being superior to others would be broken. The void of darkness would be filled with love and then overflow as compassion and empathy to fellow souls, which the humanity sorely needs. I have zero regrets to go on this travel, but there’s been countless sacrifices to make it happen. If you have ever thought of having that long travel, but your brain stopped it (career, family, money, being afraid etc.), just make a plan to execute it. Follow your heart. You won’t regret doing it, but you will regret not doing it. The trip is not over yet as there’s 138 days of travel left this year. Next destinations are: More of Peru (Amazon!), Colombia, USA (+Hawaii), Mexico and Guatemala. Then to Finland for holiday period, and time to decide whether to return to working force during winter, or to continue travels until spring – or both simultaneously. My heart is open to receive whatever comes in the future. Stay in touch, ciao! 😎
