  What do you think are the top two things that most of us need to save up for before travelling to new places? We say it is   time   and   money . We all have twenty-four hours a day, yes. But do we all have at least five days to spend on a remote island away from our responsibilities? No. Do we all have the liberty to spend cash on a plane ticket just for fun?
