"I can't afford to travel; I don't have the time. I can't travel alone, may be in a few years when work is more settled." These are some of the excuses given by aspiring travellers. Funny thing, none of the people I met during my travels were filthy rich. They found a way to travel despite work engagements and family responsibilities.There is a false belief that people who travel are special or lucky. That they can ask their parents for money or they earn in dollars and spend in rupees. No doubt you need some amount of money to travel, but it is more important to have the right mindset. The truth is that nothing about your circumstances stop you from travelling, except your own mindset.
