 Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #1 23 days ago, November 6th 2009 | Sometimes threads are posted here on TravelBlog, by people looking for others to sponsor their travels. | My first thought is always, 'why dont they save up for it, like the rest of us do?; but maybe there is more to it...  Vinovat Sudarynya Jonathan Campion Post Count: 701 Msg: #2 23 days ago, November 6th 2009 | I have the same opinion as you, Mell. Unless it's for charity (in which case why not just give the money directly to the charity?) it seems a bit rude to ask strangers to fund your travels. | J. Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #3 23 days ago, November 6th 2009 |  ...in which case why not just give the money directly to the charity? Good point! Those people doing it for charity make it seem like they are making a great sacrifice, to get the money, when in fact they are doing something that we would love to be doing right now.

Especially if the person donating had travelled themselves in the past. Other than that, you have a point, why not just donate directly. | Vinovat Sudarynya Jonathan Campion Post Count: 701 Msg: #5 22 days ago, November 7th 2009 | No, but we'll sponsor you..... | J. system TravelBlog System User Post Count: 922 Msg: #6 22 days ago, November 7th 2009 | 1 posts moved to this new topic: Thailand | Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #7 22 days ago, November 7th 2009 | No, but we'll sponsor you.....But, with information and advice, rather than with money. ;) Number of Users: 4 | Number of Posts: 7 | |||||||||||||||||
