Is your job stopping you from becoming a traveller?

I became traveller in real terms after joining a bank. Yes I am a banker and I am thankful to my "9 to 9" job to fill my pockets so I can afford to travel.

I never felt my job is hindrance between me and my love to travel. I am born in typical maharashtian middle class family where traveling is considered to be a luxery and something that we could not afford as basic necessities must to be met first.

I joined bank and was sent for induction training in Goa for a week. There first time I was without my parents exploring a new world with new people. Goa was something I was always dreaming about.  I had heard about it by my cousins who been there when thier father was posted there. Luckily  I got the chance due to my organisation. I always feel gratitude about it.

Then I got so many friends because of my job, spreaded in different branches of Mumbai . We made bonds. We made a group and together we explored many places. I am thankful to my organisation because of which I got travel enthusiastic friends.

After 3 years serving as cleark I took promotion and entered in officer cadre. My orgenisation sent me to Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Indore during my period of probation at different times. I met people from various states in such training programmes. Got an opportunity to know about thier varied lives and it expanded horizon of my knowledge further.

I am in service from last 13 years and my profile is witness that I have taken life time experiences already even before my marriage. I never felt that my job is coming between me and my wanderlust instead my job has awaken same in me.

I have been to Rajasthan, Kerala, Ladakh and Himachal with my office friends. I have lived a dream life. Life anybody can imagine of. Dancing in Silent noise club of South Goa, playing Antakshari in night under beatuful starry sky in ladakhi-marathi-hindi songs at shanti stupa of Ladakh, staying in houseboat at Allepy, staying in tent in front of pangong lake, roaming in goa in shorts on scooty, ayurvedic message in Kerala, sleeping in hot cave of Manikaran, eating lunger in pattharsahib gurudwara.....my list of experience is undending.

Journey is not stopped even after getting married.  Thanks to my husband.  If I can have these much experiences, expeditions, fun and live my dream life of roaming, meeting new people, trying local cusines then what is your excuse ?
