Ask Dali Mama

DEAR DALI MAMA:

I am longing to travel the world but have no money, even really to go anywhere nearby. Do you have any suggestions for how to make this happen?

–Gypsy at Heart (Canada)

DEAR GYPSY:

Even if you don’t have funds, start saving 10% of any money that comes in and start putting together a travel fund. Don’t touch it until you have enough to take a trip. You’ll be surprised how it adds up over time.

There are ways you can do it cheaply—hostels, camping, trading places with friends in other locations, or www.couchsurfing.org.

In the meantime, go to your local library and read books about other cultures and regions and time periods and countries. You can also do the same with Netflix or some other movie subscription, allowing yourself to visit other places through film and literature and art.

A third thing you can do is to set your space before you go to sleep, intending to visit other places with your astral body. Doing it this way, you can even travel beyond this galaxy or dimension! When you wake up, write down anything you remember. Over time, you’ll probably remember more and more from your astral visits.

Happy travels!
