It's my career
No
New York-Southeast Asia, Overland up to Beijing, Beijing to Johannesburg, overland to Cairo, fly to Berlin, or maybe Barcelona, then I don't know, come home?
I spend my life working, not seeing the rest of the world. New York feels small. HAve saved some dough, my career is one I can return to. Work to live not live to work.
Will the long overland voyages be "too much"?
Will I run out of money?
Will I suffer from pointlessness and anomie?
Friends highly supportive. Family mostly supportive.
Winged it a lot
I'm going to bring very little. If the people there need it, they have it for sale.
Wow, uh..
I want to open up my mind and my senses to what else is out there besides work in NY
This is more of a lifechanging thing. I'm ready to turn a big page in my life. I'm somewhat dissatisfied.
I have no idea.
It's eye opening and constantly stimulating and interesting.
haven't done it.
