How far have you travelled?

We all long for that travelling feeling, living out of a bag and being free from work, rent and responsibilities. Unfortunately we also know that this is difficult to achieve, however the main obstacle to overcome is yourself, as so many of us place mental barriers in front of completing what we want. Earl wrote a great blog on taking the plunge, which can be read at http://www.wanderingearl.com/every-trip-is-a-trip-of-a-lifetime/
Take that trip of a lifetime, and if you do, let us know if you loved it :)

Why do people travel

I, for one, have an unappeasable desire to travel the world, with my last adventure being in Sharm El Sheikh. I also watch longingly as my friends have just jumped on a plane to South East Asia, as I sit in my office in Croydon.
When it comes to travelling, Familyonbikes have a vast level of experience, while their latest post on 'why people travel' is a great read, which you can view at http://familyonbikes.org/blog/2012/08/why-do-people-travel/
