Wish to travel? All you need is a little motivation, some financial planning and the will to travel the world. A woman from Kerala travelled places – not only in India but internationally with the income she earned from her grocery shop. Well, things do work out if you follow your dreams. Molly Joy is a 61-year-old who has travelled to destinations like London, New York and many other destinations in India with the help of tour operators. She decided to travel the world after her neighbour first asked her if she wanted to accompany them on a journey.

Molly Travels The World, Now Plans To Explore Kerala
Molly never took a loan. However, she would pawn her jewellery at times. She has, over the years, spent 10 lakh on her travel and paid back the loan with the earnings from her grocery store. Travel magazines inspired her to travel abroad. Her ability to draw out the perfect financial plans has helped her travel to more countries. Although Molly does wish that she knew the English language better, her favourite destination is London. She received education only till Class X.
Now, Molly wishes to travel the places closer to her home. She wants to explore Kerala’s gems like the backwaters of Allapuzha, Wayanad and Kollam. She believes that the best thing about travelling in Kerala is that it is affordable.
