Traveling is not the same as being on holidays. On the contrary. The people I know who consider themselves travelers don't have a home, work while they travel and are always busy with all kinds of things. I also consider traveling as a profession, a daily occupation.

Generally people on holidays stay at place A, and maybe they circle around it. But what is traveling? People on holidays, do they also travel, when they are 'traveling' to their location, or when they circle around their location? For me it is not.

Traveling as a profession means you are taking it serious, you are making it such a part of your life, that you are no longer a real tourist leaving its fixed location to visit and consume another location, preferably a touristic hotspot.

Traveling means you are biting the dust, you are not living the luxury tourist life, but you live low-budget, work while travel, be a bohemian, a troubadour, a busker, or a person who just finds a regular job at the temporary permanent location.

You know what it is to be dependent on others, you exchange skills and happiness. You are not just consuming a town, a city or a country, but many times also bringing something back into the communities you visit.

Traveling is a profession, a daily occupation, as you organise your life between life, work, pleasure, planning, traveling and relaxing.
