Quit my job to travel the sea by kayak. From my home town, Barcelona, till Sicily along the coastline and many many islands. I have paddled over 5.000 km within 3 year. Slow enough to not miss too much.

I found a dog on the way, and now she lives aboard as a sailor dog. We discover new places and cultures together, making thousands of friends along the Mediterranean coast. The journey continues!

    I'm glad for him and his dog, but seriously, any time I see an article titled like "I quit my job to *insert travelling goal*" it makes me feel like unemployment is not a real problem.

    Without quitting the job, I would have not been able to travel/live in this way. Why do you think I earned for doing anything..? There are other ways to handle money without having a job, for example paying less stuff. Or fishing on the go. We only need food, water and not get cold when sleeping. That's possible if you know how. Travelling alone pushes you to learn new skills, to deal differently. Maybe also making money on a different way. My goal was independent from money, but the freedom to travel without a dateline.
