I guess I never got over the whole backpacking deal. Backpacking has become so much a part of my life that I decided to keep doing it and make some money at the same time- I opened up a backpacking tour business – iheartbackpackers.com You don’t have to “settle down” away from what you love to do…just find a way to turn it into something profitable. Become a travel writer (www.matador.com has great advice), Travel Agent, Tour operator, or something that enables you to do what you love. My philosophy has always been to live and love your work, not work to live.

Great tips, especially traveling close to home. It’s surprising how much stuff there is to see and do right near to where you live.

You can also use you settled time to write your travel memoir or create a slideshow with all your photos:)

Funny I posted when I just started my trip. A year later I can truly say that all these methods will keep you sane once the trip is over.

The Traveller-Virus has turned out to be benign but incurable. Contacted at the tender age of three, haven’t stopped travelling since. Still mortageless at 53, I did manage to come up with a family! Planning to go completely nomad in a couple of years.

Some great tips I’m not done travelling yet, but these are already some of the things I do to keep myself going in between being at home and being somewhere else.

I’m on my RTW trip now and realize I’ll have to use your tips eventually…but not right now! Thanks for the article Amanda.

I second that – I’ve enjoyed the generous hospitality of many folks through the Hospitality Club in my own travels, that I can’t wait to eventually host some travelers myself. I see how it can keep the fire lit and passion for travel burning without having to leave your home town.

Great tips. I have another one. If you are not traveling sure you love it to meet other travelers, show them around your town, tell them where nice places are, let them cook a local dinner for you etc. You can sign up with sites like Travelers for Travelers, Couchsurfing or hospitalityclub to meet travelers at home.
