I couldn't get that much time. Whatever your age, occupation, and stage in your career, people like you are finding time to travel. Once you really resolve to travel, you'll find a way to make the time. I have a job and a career. I have children.
Children are another great reason to take a trip around the world.
Few other gifts you could give your children could match the lifelong value of international experience and exposure to global diversity as a child. No one I know who has traveled abroad as a child would think of trading a year of world travel for a year of conventional schooling. Experience living abroad as a child is the single best predictor of success in international business as an adult. I don't have that much money. You can't extrapolate from short vacations to long- term travel, or from package tours to independent travel.
