One thing that these nurses have in common is that— they are all very optimistic, and very adventurous. They would always say that travelling is always a necessity. Cathy believes that the world is a beautiful place created by God for us to explore and experience.

Mark is a constant backpacker, and a well travelled one. He has this goal of travelling at  least 5 countries a year. He would go for experience and never for the cost.

A lot of portion from their savings are allotted for travel. They love travelling with family as well, so they really save up for it.
