Hi, I’m Sarah and I want to help you travel the world!

I know how overwhelming it feels to be right at the start of your travel planning journey with no idea of where to start!

My goal is to help you create a solid plan for reaching your departure goal, tick off the important pre-travel items on your to-do list and show you how to continue being a savvy traveller once you’re on the road.

I started travelling long-term in 2012 and it has become a huge part of my life. I definitely know a thing or two about travel and planning and I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you so that you can skip the confusing parts and start travelling the world too!

Day 247: It's time. Are you ready? ⏰ This is fo Day 247: It's time. Are you ready? ⏰
This is for you if you've been thinking about travelling long-term but haven't decided if you'll actually do it yet.
I have a challenge for you.
Over the next week, I want you to spend some time thinking about whether full-time travel is in your future or not.
REALLY think about it. Write a pros and cons list. Journal on your thoughts around it. Meditate on it.
Whatever you need to do, think it through fully and make your decision.
Yes, I'm going to travel long-term. 
No, travel just isn't going to work for me.
If you decide that yes, you are going to travel, then there's a second part to this challenge.
Set your departure date.
Now, it doesn't need to be set in stone, but it does need to be a realistic goal to aim for.
Once you've decided on a date, you'll be much more likely to start taking action to actually make it happen.
Are you in??
Leave a comment or send me a DM once you've made your decision(s)!
I can't wait to hear from you!

Day 245: Saying those goodbyes πŸ‘‹πŸ» I've talk Day 245: Saying those goodbyes πŸ‘‹πŸ»
I've talked before about how one of my favourite things about the travel is the people you meet along the way.
But on the flip side of that is one of the hardest parts: saying goodbye.
It's amazing that you can form such strong connections in such short spaces of time, but the goodbyes really do hurt. Whether you've known each other for days, weeks or months.
But, do you know what?
I would never give up those goodbyes. Because if I did, it would mean I'd never have formed those bonds in the first place. 
(Or we'd all just stay together forever, which could end up being a bit impractical πŸ˜‚)
What do you think about this? Had you considered it as a part of long term travel?

Day 244: Leave room for a little spontaneity 😎 Day 244: Leave room for a little spontaneity 😎
I had a totally unplanned weekend, which ended up being quite busy and very enjoyable!
If you've seen my stories you'll know that I've been to two coastal areas in Dorset in the past two days and taken advantage of this glorious weather we're having. 🌞
Which got me thinking about spontaneity.
One of the reasons I don't plan my travels down to the day or week is because I like opportunities to present themselves to me.
If everything is planned in advance, then there's no room for unexpected trips, invitations to join someone else's adventure, or chances to stumble upon a hidden gem. 
So, if you're a meticulous planner then, by all means, plan as much as you need to. But maybe factor in a couple of days in each place for spontaneity.
What do you think?

Day 243: Take a test trip! If you're feeling nerv Day 243: Take a test trip!
If you're feeling nervous about going travelling, whether you're going solo or with a companion, have you thought about taking a test trip in your home country?
Pick a town you've never visited before, preferably in a region you've never visited before and see if you can find a similar style of accommodation that you'll be staying in on your long-term travel adventure.
You may not have to worry about cultural differences or language barriers but it will give you a chance to get a feel for the travel lifestyle.
What do you think? Would you do this? Have you done this? Let me know in the comments!

Are you taking this weekend to get ahead on your travel plans? 
Or are you taking the weekend off to rest or have fun?
If you're planning on planning, then make a concise to-do list and tick those tasks off one by one. Don't overthink it!
If you're planning on taking the weekend off, make sure you don't waste your time by thinking "I should be doing X". Make the decision now that you're going to rest and stick to it without making yourself feel guilty.

I don't know about you, but when I first started travel planning I didn't know where to start.
I knew I had to do some research, but I didn't really know what research I needed to do.
In today's video I'm breaking it down for you, starting from when you're not even sure where you're travelling to, and covering all the essentials.
Was this helpful for you? Have you been feeling overwhelmed with the research side of travel planning?

Day 239: Hostels! I've spent a lot of time in hos Day 239: Hostels!
I've spent a lot of time in hostels throughout my travels because they are great for budget travellers!
They are also the best places to meet other travellers, especially if you're going solo.
In today's video I cover everything from the great hostels to the terrible, and how to know whether you're getting a good one or not.
Was this helpful? Will you be staying in hostels when you travel? Let me know!
