In days of planning, he's all by himself,
Searching for places on life's vast shelf.
Exploring their worth, both near and far,
Tracking expenses, from train to car.

Managing money for each new place,
Food, lodging, life's intricate embrace.
Taking care of health, a solo quest,
Collecting real info, he does his best.

Checking hotels, reasonable and neat,
Friends' taunts for not having a seat.
Passionate about cultures, diverse and grand,
Learning from places, both sea and sand.

Maintaining discipline, as he roams,
Courage to travel, it's courage he owns.
Everything this friend does, a daring role,
To travel the world, with heart and soul.
