You have made the decision to put your life on hold. No more boss breathing down your neck to get your work done, or no papers due or exams to stress over. You are going to drop all that and get the best experience of your life bouncing around the globe seeing what our world has to offer; and you want to share your traveling tales and photos with all of us on the world wide web.

What are you going to need to do this?

1. A camera: Get a camera that you are comfortable with, something that is capable of capturing all the new sights you see and something that you actually will carry around with you. There is no point in getting a $3000 SLR camera if you don’t know how you use it and it’s too big for you comfortably carry around all day!

2. Laptop: Get a good portable laptop that you can use as your communication home base. Smaller the better, lugging around a 17” wide screen laptop isn’t going to be something you look forward to. 12-14” laptops are perfect for travel, they have all the features of their larger counterparts. A laptop is not necessary if you are going to be able to post from internet cafes.

3. An open mind: If you travel the world you are going to realize that the whole world doesn’t have all the niceties that you may be accustomed to. There is nothing worse than reading a blog dedicated to complaining about everything from a bad smell in the air to non English speaking Mcdonalds workers. So before you get over where ever you are going, keep an open mind and by all means comment on these differences.
