Usually I am not one to respond to blog postings, but I can really relate to globetrekker’s story. In one of my previous relationships, my girlfriend was not supportive of my travel ambitions either. But at one point I realized that if I kept waiting for her support, I would never leave. In my view, although this may appear harsh, you should realize your ambitions regardless of her opinion. If you break up, then so be it. I know I never regretted my decision, in fact travelling is one of the best things in my life.

Good luck, I know its not as simple from the inside.
