"The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.”
~ Saint Augustine

A road of 1,000 miles begins with... a cash advance :)

(seriosly, begins with a single step)

People should be given an average score since no one is as good as his/her best act or as bad as his/her worse.

lollylo25, I think a tight budget can make a person do odd things which may lead to an adventure. Also a big budget would allow a person to pursue adventure without ties.
Good question, because a person could have such a low budget that they would have no ties, which would lead to adventure.

From Caroline Myss:
The author wanted to know why her father why he gave to every homeless person who asked him for money.

His reply, "because I'm not the one who is asking."

Sea Urchin:

I have mostly had the time of my life on tight budgets. Of course, money does help, but it does not insure an exciting trip. You need some finances for sure to travel, but many think you need loads of $$money$$ to wander the world. Burning desire is #1.....and it helps if you choose a place where your currency is the strongest.

I agree, lolly. A trip is what you make of it, whether you have a tight budget or not. I have had a blast in the past with just pennies in my pocket and I have had times of my life in expensive places too.

Poor planning on your part does not necessitate an emergency on mine!

"If there is no wind, row."
Latin proverb

My first trip outside the U.S. was to Jamaica. I had $100 cash total for the trip! No passport, no charge card, no ATM card... nothin'. We had a ball.

Another trip same era I remember on the way home from the Dominican Republic my boyfriend and I had 79 cents between us! What the heck were we thinking? Again we had a blast.

All that is gold does not glitter,not all those who wander are lost. JRR Tolkien

The other is.. Never argue with a stupid person, they will bring you down to their level and win by default.

Oh so true. :>
