...just now. I saw myself completely overwhelmed and overtaken by my (new) job and that I'll be so taken with work in general, that I will forget about my life-long dream - to spend 18 months traveling around the world.
I could see it slip by and just being a lost and unfulfilled dream. True, I am traveling loads at the moment. Hell, I'm traveling every other bloody week - but I want to travel in leisure and go to places and really get to know them. I want to see different ways of life and hoping that some of them are untouched by Western influence although I doubt these exist! I want to go hiking, walking, swimming in nature and breathe in different landscapes and sceneries because who knows, in 20 years time they won't be here anymore. I want to meet people and learn about them, their histories, their cultures and their lives! Yes, that's what I want and I better not lose sight of it!
Two years ago, I said I will do this in 5 years time while making my way home to Samoa. Meaning that I have only three years to go. My situation has changed and with my new position, I have at least 4 years in this job. With that in mind, I think I'll aim for end of 2014 to begin this journey. I'll be 33 years old. Damn.
Yikes, that just brought even more scary thoughts!!! LOL
All righty... let's see how that goes!
