Yeah it's tough to stay positive in situations where you're going against the ideal current of your own...
What advice of your own would you give people aiming for wanting to break free from the norms and follow their passions? (I read your article about becoming a Travelpreneur the other day) so it's nice to hear from those that have done it themselves
@hopefulvagabond Yes, that post would help, I listed there the sources, websites and skills you can look into.
I had already participated in this normal pattern of the society - finish school, get a career, work for years. Until I couldn't take anymore so I just quit and traveled. It was hard because I wasn't doing any of what I have posted in "becoming a travelprenur", at the beginning. Everything just started to come together as opportunities came along the way.
I guess my advice is that when the "time is right", when you're already prepared to take the journey (savings, sold your stuff, etc), then just have the courage to leave and travel somewhere (sounds easier said than done). Now that you have all the resources online, you can prepare maybe before you leave (to somehow alleviate the anxiety of not having the security of a job anymore).
First thing I did was signed up for - https://www.workaway.info/. There you can find volunteering opportunities. Decide where you want to go, what you want to do and look here for the volunteering opportunity that interests you. Message them. Volunteering is good as it gives you more ideas about your next step, letting you take your time in a place, minimize expenses (accommodation is usually free, food too!) and you'll meet amazing people from all over the world, doing the same.
This post might be able to help you too, :)
