I’m Off to India for the Rest of the Year!

There’s one productivity tip I left off in my last post, do you know what that is?
Taking FREQUENT vacations of course!
This productivity tip works best AFTER you quit your job. LOL
In the spirit of living the Super Affiliate Lifestyle, my wife and I are yet again taking a vacation. This one is more than just a vacation, it’s near and dear to my heart…
We’re going to India for the first time together. We’re going to meet up with family and visit Mumbai (in Maharashtra), Gujarat, Rajesthan, and some other cool places.
Seriously, I’ve almost lost count of how many trips Shilpi and I have already taken this year, here a list:
- Bermuda
- Alaska
- Vancouver & Victoria
- Austin, TX (3 times)
- Houston, TX (twice)
- NJ (twice)
- Las Vegas (twice)
- Miami
- Chicago (twice)
I NEVER could have done this if I was still working a job for two reasons:
Lack of Time : I spend WAY more time traveling than the 2-4 weeks vacation time you get in a job
Lack of Money : I will have spend over $50k traveling (that includes conferences) once I tally in the India trip!?! There’s no way I could even come close to paying for this if I was still working at MIT.
I love traveling, especially to other countries where I can experience different people, cultures, sites, and cuisines (yum!)
Shilpi and I plan on traveling even more in 2008.
So what’s India like?
I’ll tell you all about it when I get back!
PS While I’m gone I’m going to ask some of my closest and very successful friends in the business to do some guest posts. They really know what they’re talking about and have a LOT to share, so stay tuned!

have a happy holiday & a safe flight…
I’m looking forward to reading about your trip to India. I’ve always been fascinated by that country.
Request: could you direct me to the posts on this blog that you’d recommend for absolute beginners in AM?
Enjoy India Amit, I’m off to Kerala next year for a well deserved break!
Hey Amit,
I totally agree! Vacations that you can take whenever you want are a reminder how great being self-employeed is.
I see that one of your vacations was to Vancouver, look me up next time you are here.

Hey Amit if you get a chance, do travel up north and visit taj mahal, gloden temple and red fort. I lived my entire first 15 year I was in India up north (first new delhi and then punjab) before moving to canada. I’ve never been to Bombay. Everything has changed so much there i’ve heard. I will be going to India next year.
Have a nice trip!
Have a great time in India, Amit.
Namaste
