One more paycheck and I'm gone
No
australia and new zealand is my main focus but i figured hell, why not SE Asia, scandanavia, and ireland as well?
i love freckled redheads and AU n NZ have em (sap looking for love). i have the money now and i'm not getting any younger or healthier. i wanna see the rest of the planet i happen to live on and whom i'm sharing it with. ive lived in prague and nyc and seen bits of western europe.
dining alone in kitschy restaurants along highways. going from one town to the next with no contact with local people and towns starting to look the same. no adventure no romance no surprises. eeyore type stuff.
they'd hate me if they knew i could afford to do it. supportive? i guess.my family'd rather see me in a Gulag.
Winged it a lot
my only task/responsibility is simply to keep a journal as i've done every day for the last few years and i think my tiny laptop would be indispensible for this. it ain't worth much $. i travel light.
either i'll be surprised by new things i'd never imagined to kindle my hopes for happiness or i'll at least have checked out another few possible lives. hopefully i'll make some friends. foster a belief in myself beyond what money can buy and a mother's love.
this could be some adventure.
i'll tell you when i get back (if i have to come back).
"the rest of the world owes us americans for how great we are."
i love foreign immersion. if only i spoke 20 languages.
try canada first.
