@ugcbyabbiesimone: I’d been wanting to go backpacking since i left uni but somehow there was always a very responsible excuse 🥲 no money. no one to go with. can’t leave my job. Then it upgraded to: mortgage, career, dog and a boyfriend who absolutely did not want to go. plot twist: I still have the boyfriend (successfully bullied him into coming), our dog child is with family, my amazing boss approved my sabbatical so I’ve kept my job and i’m halfway through the trip, currently in Rio de Janeiro 🌴 Turns out there are a million reasons not to go but only one that matters, you actually want to. I stopped finding excuses and booked the flight (and yeah… it’s even better than I imagined🥹) #travelling #traveltok #travellinginyour30s #backpacking #backpackingtips
