If you had the means to travel before you died, would you?

[Moxim]

I have quite a bit of money saved up, enough to travel anywhere in the world. I'm just wondering if it's worth going and seeing something beautiful before dying. Maybe I go to Greenland and see some of the natural beauty there. I'm undecided. It's jut a matter of whether I can be bothered with all the booking and whatnot. I wanted to ask, if you guys could travel somewhere before you died, would you? Or is it simply not worth the hassle? Maybe one of you could even come with me.

 

[Ondine0000ff]

I mean, if you have the money why not? I've never liked vacations, but im still curious as to what other places looks like, how the food there, the people, the architecture... I think it could be cool! Then if no destination really appeals to you, then its not worth it.

 

[angel_cries]

I aways dreamed of living in Tokyo since I was a kid. Coming to Japan was a new beginning for me but things didn't work out despite giving everything I had in me, including my soul. Now I'm coming back, and the electric town will be my tomb.

 

[lostintheloop]

If you'd enjoy it and have the money, why not ? Or if you have bucket place then may aswell.

Personally, I wouldn't want to. I don't enjoy anything these days so travel is just stressful and nothing else to me.

 

[Forever Sleep]

There are definitely places in the UK (my home country) I would want to see and say goodbye to before I go. If I had the money to travel, yes, I probably would. There must be some incredible places out there. If you can still experience joy- why not make the most of it?

 

[notverylucid]

If you have the money and a destination like Greenland in mind, I'd say you're already halfway there. The more you will it into existence, the more likely you are to go. If it can bring you some happiness then why not?

As for me, I feel like I've already done all the traveling that I'll do in my life, save for my ctb attempt. In the past, I was more motivated to travel, to see if it could change my perspective on life or something like that. It helped me to realize a lot of valuable things, but I was still the same person as before.

 

[FuneralCry]

No, in my case I just don't really have much interest in existing in general and I find everything tiring, existing is just so dull, empty and meaningless to me, I only desire the eternity of non-existence, I only wish to sleep. But if you decide to do that then I wish you the best of luck.

 

[guinea-pig]

I would do it. I was just talking to my therapist yesterday about how if I could do something I actually wanted in life I would travel lol. It'd definitely be worth it to see some beautiful scenery and to experience almost everything the place has to offer.

 

[LonelyKitten]

I've tried to travel as much as possible once I realized my end is near.
UK, Spain, Portugal, most of Germany (hate being here, but trains are always soothing.).
Might even get to go to Canada for the first time, before I finally collapse.

There's something soothing about being someplace away from your troubles, with little to worry about beyond your basic needs and some digital entertainment at your side.
Plane rides are one of the most liberating, beautiful experiences to me.
Especially ones to the US, where I felt at home

Never been to Greenland, though.

 

[MyChoiceAlone]

greenland would be awesome. love the cold and would love to have a chance to see the northern lights. only problem is my mobility is questionable. probably won't mind hypothermia either lol.

 

[CW36]

I've already travelled the world, but if it included 'time' travel, then I'd sign up without a second thought.

I'd never even contemplate catching the bus if I could experience England's good old glory days!

 

[outrider567]

No, I've already been everywhere I wanted to go: Romania Russia Montreal Northern California Oregon, Washington State Colorado Mtns, Florida Keys Maine--- Banner Elk North Carolina and Vermont 15 times each to see the Fall Colors and Hills

 

[Darkover]

no i'd just buy lots of cocaine and weed

 

[MyChoiceAlone]

Romania, Russia, Colorado Mtns, Banner Elk North Carolina are the places i've never been. but i can make that up with a few countries and a few states. glad you have good memories. but the world is vast and there can always be a place you'd love to see. though it wasn't doing well the last i heard; great barrier reef would be on my bucket list. never had too much interest in the eu (hey, to each, their own). plus last i heard, italy was charging 2 dollars to have your sandwich cut in half! yeah, no place too touristy. love to spend more time in yosemite. would love to try fishing in a remote lake in montana. i've been to a chuck e cheeze for my nephew's bday so we can cross that off the list...

 

[TAW122]

Given that I've traveled before and years ago, I've attained my travel goals, I have no additional interest in traveling (I often play the facade of travel as to appear 'normal' for the normies and for obvious reasons). I would instead just try to enjoy what I can with the money I have, depending on health and pursue other personal goals (not necessarily travel related as again, I simply just don't have interest in that) and make the most out of it before I CTB.

 

[gov]

I would go visit my boyfriend in mexico

 

[RichardFirst]

I have some money, but I'd prefer to leave it to my family or friends.

 

[never mind me]

Go for it! When I started travelling long term (several months while also working abroad in between) at age 19 it was the first time in my life that I felt truly happy for weeks on end! The experience was so awesome that afterwards for the first time after moving away from my parents I felt I had a goal in life, something to keep going for when things got tough again. I'd even go as far as to say that my wish to see as much of the world as possible before I die is why I'm still around.
If you try travelling I'd advice to focus on experiences that allow you to be in nature and/or to get to know people as both (people and nature) can have a healing influence on you,

 

[whywere]

I have traveled for work for almost 32 years, hoping to get flight clearance from medical tomorrow. I LOVE to see the sights, when I am laid over for a weekend, but the aspect I love the most is talking and interacting with the locals and of course their food.

I have a bucket list that is VERY long and if you have the time go for it.

I always remember growing up, as far as my "mom" always saying that she wished that she had traveled, and I took that to heart.

Greenland, Iceland, Antarctica, the list is endless!

Go and have a great time. The memoires I bet, will be great.

Lots of hugs and wonderful weather for now and when you go.

First of all, hey everyone, first time posting here.
I love this topic, this is actually one of the things I would love to do before I end myself.

I'm from a middle low-class - latinamerican country, so my family is not wealthy enough to travel the world, but we have visited some parts of our country.
My mom is a really really good person, she is the kind of person who would sacrifice everything for their loved ones and she's done so much for me, this is one of the reasons why I used to feel so bad with myself for thinking about suicide for a long time.
My dream is to get my mom in a plane and travel with her to China since she loves asian culture (me too) and I just think is unfair how someone like she could just never meet it for not having enough money.

I think to myself, if I'm still here, it's because I wan't to make that dream come true, she deserves it, and I'm afraid of not being able to do it because I end up finishing myself before that, but man... I know I'm still so far away from that... , and I'm not even guaranteed I will get a good job, save enough money to make it true or if she will even be alive at that point. I don't think it can be before 5 years (I'm a uni student, kinda close to finish it but getting a good job and saving money and ... ...)
You know, life is kinda unfair

 

[front of me]

Traveling for the first second I was in my mother's womb and committed suicide at that time

 

[moonseeker]

The problem is that life gives me no joy. I can't even enjoy watching a movie or playing video games. When I go outside, all I get is anxiety. My brain refuses to produce happiness chemicals anymore.. So I know that traveling will only be painful for me.

 

[SolomonKado]

I have quite a bit of money saved up, enough to travel anywhere in the world. I'm just wondering if it's worth going and seeing something beautiful before dying. Maybe I go to Greenland and see some of the natural beauty there. I'm undecided. It's jut a matter of whether I can be bothered with all the booking and whatnot. I wanted to ask, if you guys could travel somewhere before you died, would you? Or is it simply not worth the hassle? Maybe one of you could even come with me.

Because of the military I have seen almost all of the USA, Mexico border town Tijuana, Australia, South Korea, Japan, Canada, Alaska, Singapore, Guam, and the airport of Hawaii . Because of this I feel more complete that I've done something with my life. I said for the longest time after being to all those places that if I was to CTB right now I'd be more then okay with it.

To see new and beautiful places helps you to see what this planet is…Beautiful. My problem is the people are the ugly part. Traveling is worth it to get to see what is so beautiful about this planet.

I was lucky and did it while getting paid so not everyone can do it because of money, but if you can scrounge some together just to visit one place to experience then it's worth it.

 

[jessisme]

Yes, absolutely.

 

[ctvunny]

Hell yeah! Also have a safe travel <3

 

[letmegetout]

I also have money saved up and previously had thought about places I would want to see, but right now, no I have no energy to do anything and no enjoyment in most things and little enjoyment in very few. But if you fancy traveling what have you got to lose

 

[carac]

I have hardly travelled anywhere in the past 20 years mainly due to I'll health and anxiety but also due to lack of funds(again due to I'll health) I'm starting to recover now and so travelling is something I would love to start experiencing. Just need to start building up the bank and maybe find some friends to accompany me.

 

[benzol]

I cojld travel regarding the money.
But my depression doesnot see any sense in travelling.
I think, me personally, so not judging anybody else, if I would still appreciate travelling, it is not the right time for CTB for me yet.
