3 Great Resources to Help You Change Your Life

Is This You?

I recently began looking at different sources around the internet for advice. It’s not for me, but I didn’t feel comfortable writing about these things since I’m still learning myself! I know it takes a certain type of person to give up their life and change their path because I’ve done it. Friends and family back home at first thought I was crazy, and now they are just envious and miss me. Ever since I made the move I’ve wanted to help others do the same, and since I feel these websites are concise and well put-together, I have decided to share these precious gems with you!

1. Answers to Common Excuses Not to Travel Full-Time: First you need to get over the issues that prevent you from making the change. Cherie gives us great answers to people’s common excuses for not doing something with their life more exciting! Why does everyone make excuses for not doing things? It’s easier to repress your desires than fulfill them, but 100% of us who fulfill our desires are 100% happier than those who repress them!

2. 30 Days to Redesign Your Life and Travel the World: After you’ve decided to make the change, you need to take the steps necessary to make it happen. Christine shows you how to take these steps one day at a time so you can travel like you’ve always wanted to!

3. How to Get Your Blog to 100,000 Visitors and Beyond: Once you’re off and traveling, this article can be your guide to get people’s attention and show them they can do it too! I personally only have a few hundred visits a month, so I know it will help me in the future and I hope it can help you too! This website also tries to help its visitors learn more about personal finance, so don’t be shy!

I hope you all enjoy, and if you know of other resources that are just as handy, feel free to let us know here by leaving a comment below!

New site

by on May.03, 2009, under Daily Life

A few days ago, I finally had the time to separate my personal blog posts from my travel website and the result is this new site. I’m still making changes to it, but that will be completed soon!

I’m still looking for a full-time job that comes with a contract and a new work visa, as my current one expires in July 2009. My hope is gaining employment at a university close by, that I can remain in my current apartment. Nick floated an ingenious idea, which I believe I’ll pursue immediately, and can’t believe I hadn’t done it earlier. More to come on that.

I’ll stress again how much I needed that trip to Shanghai, especially having been by myself. I hope in the future I can take more trips like these, preferably to other countries.

I’m now writing for my travel site, this site, and three other sites: Nomadic Matt, Nick Bowditch, and the Solo Traveler Blog. I’ve even included a widget in the sidebar that show you my last few articles from my travel site!

After returning from the beautiful sunny days in Shanghai, I feel cheated because the weather in Wuhan has become unacceptable once again. I’m only grateful for the fact that it isn’t 40F (4C) anymore! As soon as the sun stops hiding, Lily and I have planned to go fishing with her uncle. Tonight I’m having dinner with them!

I know my mom mentioned to some people how I’d be returning in the summer, but I’ll be honest, it’s not happening. I don’t earn enough money at this point in time, so I’m just going to save like a madman and hopefully next summer I’ll be able to afford it!
