Make Your Life a Story to Tell…

yTravel Blog’s Mission:

Life is all about the memories: Travel helps you to create profound, enriching and joyful memories.  Life is about living it. The fancy car, the mansion on the hill and the stylish wardrobe contribute very little to a deep and meaningful life.

These materialistic possessions are depreciating assets. Meaning that once you purchase them, they start to lose their value until they reach their worthless expiry date, leaving you with nothing.

Travel on the other hand provides you with experiences and memories that will continue to enrich your human experience, making it a priceless investment. Travel will create memories for you that will never die and help you to live your life so its a story to tell.

y Travel: We believe life is beautiful and is to be lived out loud. We believe that travel allows you to experience this more freely and helps you to live from a place of total joy and enthusiasm. These are higher emotions or states of awareness. When you live through these emotions you can only contribute positively to the health of the planet.

It is in our experience that travelers are happier, friendlier, less stressed, more tolerant, more grateful, more compassionate, kind and loving. Travelers are more able to live in the moment of now. It’s for this reason that we believe everyone should travel. We are dedicated to inspire as many people as we can to just go and do it. A happier you means a happier planet.

Get inspired:

We aim to inspire you with stories of our own adventures traveling the globe for over 10 years, most of that as a married couple. We also will bring to you stories of other ordinary people, who decided that life was about living it, chose to leave the box, and travel around the world. y Travel Blog will be bringing their stories to you through blog posts and interviews.

Life beats abundantly. y Travel Blog is aimed at showing you the pulse of the Earth, and inspiring you to just get out there and do it, live it, be it….“The real tragedy of life is not that it ends too soon, but that we wait too long for it to begin” ~ unknown.

Get informed:

After getting inspired to travel, the next step is to get informed as to know how to do it properly. We have over a decade of experience traveling through 35 countries, and relocating and setting up a new life in 5 countries.

From rough travel and camping in Africa and Asia, to camper-vanning around Europe, and road tripping the USA we’ve been there and done that, and we love to share all our knowledge on the logistics of travel to help make it easier for you.

Get out of the Box:

Living life out of the box means foregoing the cultural limitations of your past which instruct you to finish school, go to college, get a good paying job, buy a home, pay your bills, get married, have children, retire, and then die. Now, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that if that makes YOU happy and fulfilled.

However, we personally find “that” life is enclosed by very tight and suffocating walls. There is not much room for growth when you live in a box.

The box tells you what to think, how to act, and what to believe without allowing you the space to discover the truth for yourself. Most people fear to venture outside of the box and end up conforming to it, and then when they die they are placed in a box. The biggest whisper on a person’s deathbed is…”I wish I took more risks and lived more”.

When you realize that you are the planet, you are not living in a box anymore. The comfort zone is not taken for granted and the awe inspiring Universe is a place of great adventures. Life becomes very big but your personal story falls into perspective. Go to nature, sleep under the night sky. Remember where you are and who you are”   Yossi Ghinsberg
