One more paycheck and I'm gone
No
I have vague plans only, depending on my success getting working holiday visas. My itinerary may change drastically. Who knows? The plan is to go to Australia, New Zealand, Bangkok as a jumping-off point in Asia, through Europe overland and then home.
I don't want to live on drop zones anymore, and a friend suggested I travel...
Running out of money.
For the most part.
Winged it a lot
I am packing heavier than I would like because I want to be available to work at anything, including temp office work. My most important/indispensable items are my paper credentials, money and my address book.
No idea yet. We shall see what happens when I get there.
Fear, trepidation, excitement, like doing my first skydive all over again, and it just seems like time to do it.
You don't see anything in two weeks.
No idea, but I'll keep you posted.
I have a curiosity to see what is around the corner. There may be nothing special, but I haven't seen it for myself yet. Plus, you meet a lot of new and interesting people.
No idea yet, but I'll keep you posted.
