WELCOME To about forever roaming the world
Roaming the world since 2010
Traveling is my life but it seems like I’ve lived two. One pre traveling where my life was going nowhere, stuck in a rut, wanting more from it but not knowing how. All I dreamt about was traveling but I was too poor for that. I couldn’t even afford a bus ticket how could I go traveling? However in 2010 Something just triggered inside me. With just £600 to my name I left England and started my nomadic life, bought a one ticket to Australia and haven’t looked back since. (Check out the timeline at the bottom of this page)
Somehow I made a dream into a reality. And I want to show you how you can do the same!
LONG TERM BUDGET & SOLO BACKPACKER
Hi, I'm Amit, a long term solo and budget backpacker from England, UK, slowly traveling the world. I don't collect passport stamps, or brag about the number of countries I've been to. I take as much time possible in each country I travel through & savour the moments
TRAVEL WRITER
Forever Roaming the World is currently working on 4 projects to help with your future travels. The first of which will be the most comprehensive long term solo travel questions & answers. Whatever question you many have will be answered for you
TRAVEL BLOGGER
Forever Roaming the World initially launched in 2017 as a personal blog. However in Jan 2020 it was relaunched with a much defined goal in mind; to help & show you what long term solo & budget travel is really like. This isn't your normal type of travel blog (Currently nominated for a blogger award at the british travel awards)
Without a doubt, starting and continuing a nomadic life will change your life in more ways than you can imagine. It changes your perspective on life, what’s important and not, how you perceive other people and cultures and it will change your own character. You will experience the most incredible experiences, have defying moments, meet inspiring people be left in awe to what this earth we live on provides us. But, It’s not for everybody.
Hand in hand with the highs and incredible moments come the lows and hardships. Over the years I’ve come across first time backpackers who set out on long-term travel but are completely oblivious to what they’re getting themselves into. In some cases It’s not their fault, they were just shown the shiny glamorous side of travel, but nothing under the veil.
