Have you been considering an extended trip abroad? Are you in the process of planning one already? Travel is an adventure; it can be awe-inspiring, mind-altering, and eye-opening, but also hilarious fun and, at times, really tough.

To experience different cultures, meet people from all over the world, take in beautiful sights, and try foods that you'd never imagined in your wildest dreams can be overwhelming in both a good and a bad way.

It has been drilled into us by magazines that travel should be glamorous; cocktail in hand and toes dipped in pristine turquoise waters at all times. In truth, I'm sure travel can be like that if you have an unlimited budget!

The real country, with all its characteristics and quirks, is just asking to be discovered, but so many people have neither the courage nor aptitude to ever venture out of the safety and comfort of their all-inclusive safe haven.
