I think this is an awesome story, I like to travel myself and wanted to a world tour at some point. You guys are right when you say that the hardest part is just doing it. People are too busy getting in their own way to realize it's just as easy as saving up some money, booking a flight and setting off on an adventure. Its not about having tons of money. Its about having the courage to throw away your day planner and maybe discovering something that's more fulfilling than getting up in the morning, going to work, coming home and then doing it all again the next day. Heaven forbid we should learn something new or get to know a culture other than our own. Ignorance is bliss. There are quite a few jealous people commenting on this section.

The Lost Girls aren't trust fund kids, and even if they were, your sarcasm is flat out rude. Hey now phony spotter – did you actually read the article?

Even Europe does not have to be expensive...we only spent 33 dollars a day for a family of three in a gorgeous 15th century white village last winter enjoying the sun and the warm people! I am sitting here at typing away at a pool in Santorini and living sooooo much cheaper than we did in California. You can travel, live your dreams and spend MUCH less than living at home while doing it. You go Lost Girls...from SoulTravelers3 !!

If only life were that easy eh? Otherwise, great website and enjoy Australia. The East Coast road trip is highly recommended.

First and Foremost I want to give my kudos to the Lost Girls for living the dream. This is my dream as well, and I am just beginning my career as a writer, so I look forward to the days I can write on these kinds of topics! So girls thanks for paving the way for the rest of us! Secondly when it comes to the whole "travel thang". I agree with many here that are saying travel is important for young people. In my opinion I believe travel is the greatest teacher, not just to learn about the world, but about yourself, which is ever MORE important. That is what makes someone a good traveler - is knowing themselves, having confidence in themselves and then making the most of their trips. I "philosophize" about this topic often as I think here in America, where a lot of people are just not educated about the "outside world" because most of what we see about the "Outside world" is negative, people are afraid to get out there - fear is the driving force of people NOT traveling. I really want to change that here in America. I am just starting out, but I think it is a worthy goal. Good Luck to all of you! Wow, this is so interesting.
