Gathering Information About Travel & Entrepreneurship

I have been gathering information about traveling and entrepreneurship on the road for almost 6 months now. I have talked to a lot of fulltime travelers online! They are really nice and very eager to help me with information or to tell me where to get it. Thanks to them I now own a favorites list in explorer with I don’t know how many links to check sometime soon and lots of documents to read sometime soon.  The important ones I already read and applied for the things needed.

New Words

Besides getting to know a lot of travelers I also learned a lot of new words like wwoofing, digital nomads, wanderlust, etc.

Digital Nomad

It’s cool to know there are more people out there doing what I am about to do. It is going to be an adventure and it will ask a lot of improvising from me. But it’s worth it, seeing lot of places and meeting new people. A dream comes true. I have been living towards this moment for months and every month getting a step closer by arranging something.

It’s Nearing

It’s funny I had months preparing and getting used to the idea, but most people although I told them months ago are now getting aroused. By asking questions I already been asking the other travelers for months: 

• ‘Did you arrange this and that?'

• 'How are you going to do that?'

• 'Did you buy a ticket?'

• 'Are you realy going?'

• 'Do you have enough money?’ 

• 'You had a psychosis, so you are not allowed to go'

• 'What are you going to do with your big beautiful house?' (I am not living in that house anymore for months)

• 'You can't go alone'

• 'You are to old to go backpacking'

• 'You are to old to stay in hostels'

• 'Do you have visas'

• 'It isn't safe to travel alone as a female'

• 'You don't have friends there'

• 'You won't get work there'

• 'Only caucasian people do this'

• 'You should go to Curaçao where you are from'

Relax… I have been preparing for months and if I am not prepared for something I will have to deal with it on the road… Years of practice in life changes :-). I did it and did it again, and again and again and will travel after COVID again.

Gathering Information Is Big Data

As I told earlier I asked around among travelers about how they sustain there travel life. By talking to them I got to know new travel terms and looked them up. With looking them up I gathered lots of websites and documents, Big Data about being a traveling entrepreneur. This data is new and diverse. I combined them to information I could use to travel the Pacific for 5,5 months and also for other travels later on.
