Breaking away from a set pattern of life has been a dream for most, but these days many are living that dream too!
How prevalent is the trend of taking frequent diversions from our pre sketched-out life plans can be seen in the strategic tie-ups between nations for reciprocal working holidays. Australia has a tie-up with 19 nations (India isn’t a part of it yet) with a restriction on the age bracket so that people don’t further their career plans in the garb of these travel options.
People from countries that are not in the alliance list needn’t get disheartened, since a tie-up only helps smoothen the process… For an intrepid backpacker, there are country guides, hostel listings, travel insurance and helpful citizens (like me!) to help them through their journey. ‘Cheaper than the cheapest’ options are also available for those constrained by finances. Instead of hotels, surf for a couch offered on sites like couchsurfing.com by those willing to spend time with travellers and learn about their experiences. Peter Moore, a travel writer, has explored many such options and can’t forget the stay at a tattered but livable yacht with a couple in the backwaters of river Thames in UK. While air tickets are something one has to bear, there are those too who choose road trips for their matchless experience.
The world is full of options and people and places and dreams. But breaking away from the comfortable rut surely takes guts. But who’s asking to let go of the comforts forever? Steve’s back at home, and Natalie will be in another 3-4 weeks for, as of now, she’s diving off the coast of Egypt!
