Why 1000 Days?

Learning a new skill takes time. Crash diets don't work. You can't become an expert in chess, finance, or ballet in a day. You can't see the world in a week. Or even a year.

If travel is your passion, slow is the way to go. You'll delve deeper into a culture. You'll run into unexpected adventures, make lifelong friends, maybe even learn a new language. It takes a long time to see the world. That's a good thing: it means that you'll never run out of new places to see, people to meet or experiences to have.

Do you only get a week or two of vacation time per year? Want to know what it takes to do a longer trip? Need advice on saving money? Tips to retouch your photography skills? Do you neglect travel out of fear of losing your job or ruining your résumé? Want to travel more, but don't know where to begin?

Then this website is for you!
