| My simple map, traveling with me |
This ABC Wednesdays letter T is for travel. Now it's time to write a bit about our way to do it. And you can get an idea where all this photos come from.
The blue route was from our circumnavigation (westbound) in a thiny sailboat with my husband and our son. The biggest wilderness are the Oceans. 2000 to 2003.
The red route is eastbound, two years (2008 to 2010), with my husband and two kids, mainly on land.

In no order, and not complete, my travel tips:
- Travel light
- Travel slow
- Travel long and slow (and longer)
- Stay in one place for weeks
- Take the kids
- You are your risk manager
- Make every effort
- Save before
- Live on a budget
- Keep it simple
- Use local transport
- Do couchsurfing
- Sleep in your tent
- Dream
- Go simple, go small, but go
- Be flexible with your plan, direction, way of transport

Excellent advice, Carola. I remember when I was young enough to follow it. Now I'm one of those terrible traveling seniors, and tenting is out of the question.

Tremendous round-the-world Trips and Terrific Travel advice, Carola. Having Traveled (non-stop almost) around a "normal" life (study, work) since conception, my list may be a bit different, but many of your points are True. Some people say "I wish I could travel like you do" and I tell them anyone can: it's a matter of priorities in life - you can do anything you want, but you can't do it all. My parents traveled with FIVE children.
Thoughtful travel tips!
Carola, I wouldn't have expected anything else but TRAVEL from you this week!!!
