I talk to people all the time who say they want to travel more.
They light up when they talk about it—sipping espresso in Italy, hiking Patagonia, waking up on some beach in Southeast Asia. But then come the classic lines:
“I don’t have the time.”
“I can’t afford it.”
“Maybe next year… when things slow down.”
Let’s just call it what it is: a dream that’s stuck in the waiting room of someday.
But here’s the thing—most people don’t miss out on travel because they can’t do it.
They miss out because they never decide to.
Look, the obstacles can be real. Money, time, responsibilities—they matter.
But the real lock on the door?
It’s the belief that you need everything figured out before you start.
When I started my nomadic journey, I didn’t have it all mapped. I didn’t have a six-figure travel fund. I had desire, alignment, and a little bit of bold faith.
And that was enough.
Because here’s what no one tells you:
Your comfort zone will hand you a “good enough” life until you forget what “great” even feels like.
You don’t need to sell your stuff or go full nomad tomorrow.
But you do need to take one step.
Book the ticket.
Take the weekend trip.
Dust off your passport and use it.
Prove to yourself that this dream isn’t just fantasy—it’s direction.
Here’s the raw truth:
The longer you wait, the louder the excuses get.
And the louder the excuses get, the more your dream starts to fade into “wasn’t meant to be.”
But the second you take one step toward your dream—no matter how small—you activate a part of yourself that sees possibility instead of problems.
If travel has been calling you…
Stop ghosting the call.
You don’t need a plan for the next year. You need a decision for today.
Say yes. Even if it’s just a whisper.
Because the real truth?
You’re not waiting for your dream.
Your dream is waiting for you.
Let’s make sure you don’t leave this lifetime with a passport full of blank pages.
See you out there,
