It was a tough decision to make after university: entering the work force or taking out a loan to bum around the south pacific. I chose to leave everything behind for a year and head for the unkown. I had never travelled on my own before (to a different continent that is) so I was a bit nervous at first, but the whole experience was tres worth it. I went to new zealand first, taking in the beautiful scenery and reconnecting with nature. After three months I flew over to Sydney add worked odd jobs here and there for some spending money and accomodation. I met soo many great people (mostly from the UK though) and it really helped me figure things out (well, maybe i didn’t figure everything out since i have a list of 50 billion things i still need/want to do with my life).
So go on, re-finance the house, sell the car and take the plunge down under you won’t regret (unless you get bed bugs or one of the 1000’s of killer species in australia gets to you). bye bye.
