In the how long to go for section, Astrid discusses the styles of fast travel vs. slow travel and shares a very cool formula developed by travel blogger Lillie Marshall designed to help determine trip length.

Lillie Marshall is from my hometown of Boston where she taught high school English while spending her summers volunteering in Latin America. In 2012, she took a 9-month career break to finally get out and take that trip to see the world. She went to 8 countries on 3 continents to make travel a bigger priority in her life. She returned from the experience a changed person and now folds travel into her life wherever possible. She takes students on group trips and participates in teacher tours, while making it to places like China (twice), Greece, India and Belize. Most recently she had her first baby and I'm excited to compare notes with her as she adjusts to traveling with an infant, certainly a new style but by no means an end of anyone's travel days. Travel is always a choice and I suggest you take it.

You’ve just got to do it." More Quotes from Lillie: "It’s this feeling of being blind and trapped when I’m not traveling. I feel blind because I feel like I’m stuck in this little box. And out there there’s all these things going on and all these colors and all these surprises and new things and I’m being left out of them unless I have the opportunity to get on a plane and walk around in different places." "Before traveling, I didn’t want to be here. I couldn’t focus on what was here. It wasn’t until I really gave myself permission to explore everything else that was out there that I could finally open up and meet someone new." "Everything that my life is now is so much about having taken that around the world trip. So anyone on the fence about it, do it. Do it." "When you’re traveling solo there’s no need to have regrets as long as your safe because you can always just switch your circumstances."
