Well, I’ve been doing casual work while studying for years, but I’ve finally found a job that I’m not planning to leave anytime soon, and that pays enough to finance my travelling. Awesome! It took ages to find a job that pays double my last one, and then to actually GET the job. Am very happy about it.

How I did it: 8 years of formal study at home + a semester of university exchange! Six months of studying in french does the trick! I know my french is still not perfect, but I understand almost everything and can converse easily and without too many, "comment dire... en francais?". ^_^ Read how I did it…
It was a great little treck. We were staying in a Ger camp for a few nights, and one afternoon some locals took us on a ride along some of the ‘roads’. Lots of fun, and really relaxing. The landscapes of Mongolia are the most amazing I’ve ever seen.
Highly reccomended!
I’ve recently started going running most afternoons. I try to run non-stop for at least half an hour at a time.
I’m not a very sporty person, but it feels great to just run without a reason. Gives you time to think and afterwards I just feel so much better about myself.
Apparantly that kind of frequent exercise is meant to make you less negatively emotional. WHO KNEW!
