Everybody loves traveling and if you don’t, I wonder why you’re reading TravelVersed. No, seriously, you just need to open your Facebook or Instagram to see incredible photos of your friends gallivanting around the world. Yet, you’re not one of the jet-setters, why?

There could be many reasons and they’re all valid. You should take a look at your life and your choices and see if there’s any room for change. Sometimes, the answer might be a lot easier than you think. So, next time you open your favorite social media, it’ll be you posting the photos.

Let’s check those reasons!

1. Traveling is not your priority

That sounds silly, doesn’t it? But it isn’t. If you don’t have the desire to travel close to your heart, it’s never going to be the first thing that pops into your mind. So, when somebody asks you what you’d do with $1 million and you think about buying a house or a car — that’s the wrong answer!

However, if you’re always wondering about the perfect waves in Indonesia, the yogis in India, or if the pasta in Italy is really that good, then you’re on the right track. It compels you to find out! And when traveling becomes all you want to do, you know that $1 million would keep you on the road for a long time.
