Leaving everything to travel the world full time

in Lifestyle on 09/03/21

Sounds crazy right? Trust me, I know it is. But besides marrying G in September 2018, nothing has ever felt so right in my life.

I’ve been dying to share more about this as things started to happen, but I couldn’t do it because A.) We weren’t 100% sure it was going to happen and B.) It could have affected G’s job somehow…. But anyways, now I can fill you in with all the details! However, if you follow on Instagram you know more or less what’s about to happen.

travel the world full time

When do we leave?

We leave on Monday. Where? I have no clue.

We won’t be back until the middle of December for the Holidays, so I was told to pack for Summer and Fall, so I did my best to pack a Summer Capsule Wardrobe and a Capsule Wardrobe for Fall. Both capsule wardrobes are very small and with basic pieces. I hope I did ok. We’ll see when we’re on the road I guess… I will of course share some outfit ideas too later on.

How did I commit to this? I guess for YouTube LOL we thought it would make our first travel video more interesting. We’ve been documenting the whole process, so I’ll keep you guys posted when I share that video.

How it all started…

For the past almost 4 years, we’ve been saving money with the intention of traveling the world full time one day.

I feel like I’ve been living in 2 worlds; my present world and our travel world. It’s been hard, so hard! Just imagine trying to live in the present while planning this crazy adventure. I couldn’t not picture myself going on safari in Africa, diving with sharks and manta rays, roaming the streets of Tel Aviv, volunteering all over the world, seeing Mount Everest, riding horses in Patagonia, trying street food in Vietnam, going back to the Caribbean Sea, exploring Cinqueterre… you get the point. Can you blame me?

If you want to learn more about how this dream came about and how we got “ready” for it, check out these posts on our website:

  • How to prepare for a life of full time traveling
  • How to save money to travel – Our story, how we did it and useful tips

I’m feeling all the feels right now… I’m so excited for what’s coming our way, but I’m also terrified… I’m someone who always thinks about the worst case scenario and trust me, I’ve thought about all the things that could go wrong with this trip, but I’m not letting my fears to stop me from living my life. This is something I’ve never really openly talked about, but I plan to. I just wasn’t sure if anyone could relate to this and it’s something I’m embarrassed and ashamed to admit.

But for now, I’m putting all those fears aside and adventuring out there into the world. Everything is going to be just fine.

What exactly have we been up to?

I feel like we’ve been kind of sneaky, but guys, I have spent the last -almost- 4 years getting ready for this trip.

Learning new skills, planning, budgeting, saving money, practicing… Ways of the World is ALL I’ve thought about and had in my mind since the moment we first came up with this crazy idea.

I’ve specifically learned so much over the past year. Even more intensely over the past 6 months. I’m so proud of myself for learning a few things that felt so intimidating before. Me and G have created something we are so proud of and we can’t wait to see how it unfolds. Building something meaningful together has been a dream of ours for a very long time now. It’s finally happening.

What is Ways of the World?

I promise Ways of the World is not one more travel account filled with highly edited photos without any type of context or information. Our goal is to travel better, leave a positive impact in the places we visit and educate ourselves as we discover new places.

We’ll also share costs so you can create your own budget and of course all the good and bad things as they happen. We have so many cool experiences planned and I can’t wait to share them with you!

To learn more about us and our blog make sure to visit our About Us page:

  • About Ways of the World

We plan to travel very slowly because of COVID-19 of course. We’ll start doing our thing at our own pace and doing a lot of outdoor activities because we do want to be safe. We are not sure how things are going to look like honestly, but we are ok with taking it one day at a time and see what happens. I’m sure we’ll find a way to make it work.

For now, I only know we leave on Monday September 6th to an unknown destination and we will maybe end up in Africa towards the end of the year. We are in Chicago right now, and we should be back in the US for Christmas and New Year’s and in January we’ll go somewhere else for a few months, but we literally have no idea where because we don’t know how the world will look like to be honest. We don’t have a choice other than to wait and see.

How can you support us?

We will be publishing 1 weekly video on our YouTube channel, so please subscribe :) It will take a few weeks before we start uploading, but our Instagram will be updated sooner, so please follow us there. Pretty please!! :)

There’s also a “Support Our Work” page in our blog if you want to go the extra mile.

What’s next for Ways of Style

If you are wondering what will happen to this site and my Instagram, well I’m not 100% sure.

It’s going to be a lot of work to maintain everything, and honestly my priority is Ways of the World, so things will be a little bit slower than usual but I will keep sharing stuff on Instagram at least once a week. Mostly just for fun which I hope you appreciate.

Here on the blog, I’m planning to write a couple of times a month and share more about travel style and anything related to packing, essentials, outfit ideas for traveling & airport days, how to maximize the things you packed, etc. More travel related stuff and of course, lessons learned along the way.

In the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing some blog posts I already scheduled and then after that, I’ll start sharing hits and misses with the suitcase I blindly packed for this 4 month adventure coming my way. Can you imagine packing your entire life in one bag? It’s crazy. And it’s not the first time I do it LOL.

I can’t wait to show you all the ways to style the pieces I’m bringing with me!!! And the best part, is that those photos will be from really cool places!!!! It feels like a dream to say that out loud!

Final thoughts

I know how this looks. You can feel my happiness and think that the past 4 years have been nothing.

Back then, 4 years sounded like A LOT. And guess what, I now look back and I understand that time passes by anyways… might as well do something about it.

We had zero money when we started saving for this trip. ZERO.

We didn’t know anything about video editing, or SEO, or building a website or brand.

Guys, do yourselves a favor today and write down a big goal. Something you picture doing in 5 years. Then make sure you spend the majority of your days from here to 5 years doing something little every day to make it happen. It’s really that simple.

The key is to do little things consistently. Change your daily habits and you will see a difference over time.

Some days will be hard, some days you will feel like giving up. But that’s all part of the process.

Learn how to rest without quitting but do not loose sight of your goal. Think about it every single day. I promise it will be so worth it when you finally make it happen.

Do you guys have any questions? Ask away! I’m so excited to share this new chapter of my life with you! Things will be a little different, but I promise it will be fun, genuine and inspirational.

Sending you guys SO MUCH LOVE!

XO,

Aimara

PS: Things have changed a lot in the past 8 weeks when it comes to COVID, the variants etc. So I really don’t know what’s ahead of us. I think we are mostly moving somewhere else for the next 4 months and experience life somewhere new. We’ll show you around, I promise.

What a crazy feeling when you start loving somethi What a crazy feeling when you start loving something you once thought was scary. It really makes you realize that fear is not real and exists only in your mind.

Never stop pursuing what sets your heart on fire. Even if it’s scary. And if you don’t know what that is yet, I encourage you to make the time to find out 💙

PS: this photo was taken on a scuba dive trip while in Cozumel a couple of weeks ago. If you ever find yourself there, do yourself a favor and do it with @scubatonycozumel 🤿 You will not regret it!

We are currently slow traveling through the Yucatan peninsula. We are having the time of our lives and documenting it all on @waysoftheworld_ 🌎 See you there? 🙃

Yesterday we had a full day of exploring different Yesterday we had a full day of exploring different places and I needed different outfits but I didn’t have space to bring a whole new look. That’s when button down shirts + sneakers come handy! 

In the morning we went to the beach to snorkel and in the afternoon we explored Mayan ruins and had drinks and dinner. I needed sun protection and sneakers because they don’t recommend to walk the ruins in sandals (uneven terrain). I was able to change the wet bathing suit at the beach restaurant and didn’! get sunburn! Win win!!

PS: you can now shop all my looks via the @shop.ltk app ☺️ or via stories!

Back home after spending the best 3 months of my l Back home after spending the best 3 months of my life in Turkey 🇹🇷❤️

We definitely left a piece of our hearts there, but we also learned so much and we know we will be back many times! And it feels good to be with family this time of the year.

I know I didn’t do a good job at posting in here. Honestly, I thought it was going to be easier, but starting a new Instagram, blog and YouTube channel from scratch for @waysoftheworld_ took a lot more time than I ever thought it would! So now, I’ll try to share some of my favorite photos from this trip in here because it’s never too late 🙃

This one was taken in a small mediterranean town called Kas. It was one of our favorite places in all of Turkey! It’s the perfect vacation spot to just enjoy life 💕

Feels good to be back! Hope everyone has a great week ahead and thanks so much for being here!!

Turkey has been incredible. We are blown away by h Turkey has been incredible. We are blown away by how beautiful it is, all the different landscapes, the food, and above everything, the people ❤️

Looking back to a few weeks ago when I was really afraid of going on this trip, thinking about all the things that could go wrong, being a little upset with myself in a way for not wanting the traditional life path I always thought was my only choice; get married, buy a house, have kids, save money and travel when you retire. That’s not for me. 

I’m very happy I followed my heart 💕 I wrote a letter to myself on the blog: “What’s the best that can happen if the worst happens?” You can check it out by clicking the link in my bio. I hope it inspires you to think about what YOU really want in your heart, make a plan and go after it (but be patient). I promise that if I did it, so can you.

You have everything it takes ❤️

I basically only wear olive green and white now 😂 

Our days in beautiful Kas are almost over. I’m leaving a piece of my heart in this cute little town and we will definitely be back! Now it’s time to hop on a 6 hour bus to Pamukkale and see what that place is all about! 

Honestly, the only reason we are going there is because of me. G is not too crazy about it, but I’ve seen it on Instagram so much that I wanted to see for myself what the buzz was all about. So I’ll keep you posted on what it actually is!

If you are interested in knowing more about Kas (and all the amazing places we are visiting) we share a lot more on @waysoftheworld_ 💞 
We talk about useful tips, costs, best things we do, where we stay and so much more. I also update those stories daily! So I hope to see you there 🙃

Until next time friends 👋🏻

I was brave 💙 This was the most amazing experi I was brave 💙

This was the most amazing experience. I was SO nervous and anxious before but somehow I managed to push through and tried this very scary thing for the first time. And you know what I learned? That I loved it! I would do it again a million times! It wasn’t scary at all. It was all in my head and it wasn’t real. Also, they had the sweetest dog at the shop named Lucy that really help me not to think about it (swipe to see her 😍)

We didn’t do any crazy tricks like G did and it was a very peaceful flight. It’s up to you how you want to do it.

I can see why Ölüdeniz is one of the top places in the world to go paragliding. If you only want to do it once to cross it off your bucket list, this is the place you go to. We shared a post about with useful information in case you are interested. Link in bio + stories.

Would you do it? 🙃
Make sure to follow our adventures around Turkey on @waysoftheworld_ 🙏🏻
