Now that I am having my extended break, I feel really in need of some adventure. I feel like going for a travel - a new place, a new country, perhaps. I truly believe that it gives you a new and fresh perspective to travel to a new place. Whether it is learning a new culture, language or meeting new friends - it is all about learning and realising that the world is bigger than you think.

However, one cannot escape from the budget when money is concerned. We cannot deny that without sufficient fund, you actually cannot travel anywhere. An unemployed student on a gap year - where can I find sufficient travel fund for myself?

How I wish I can earn enough, get good deals and perhaps some extended stay hotels to add on it.

When I was young, I used to keep count of the number of times I sit on a plane. I find air travel fascinating and fun. After finishing secondary school and moving on to college, I have since left home and crossed a sea to pursue my studies. Unlike my parents’ era when they get to fly home only once a year if they were abroad, I get the liberty and privilege to fly back home every holiday. It was so often that in one year, I could have easily flown more than 20 times. Average of two trips per month.

I soon get real tired of flying and started dreading the flight journeys.

No, pilots do not entice me.

Today, the travel  industry ahs grown so much that travelling is now no longer considered a “wow” thing for many. Most people have the technology and convenience to do travelling almost everyday. In fact, some people have to travel by air so often that they have lost count of the times they fly on planes. While travel has been made easier and more accessible nowadays, it comes with risks as well. That is why it is always a wise thing to take on a travel medical insurance, especially for those who rely so heavily on travels for their jobs.
