the future is near/here

I can't believe that I'm going in 2.5 weeks to travel the world. I'm starting to think that I should have gone for longer and worked in the ski fields of Canada or backpacked through Lithuania, Latvia or explored Macchu Picchu in Peru.

However, I am determined to stick to my original goals. Go travelling for 4 months, come back and work for 1.5-2 years and then head to London/New York/Hong Kong. A couple of good friends of mine have also targeted 2008-2009 as the time they head overseas as well.

It's a rite of passage. You gotta do it.

I'm sure its not just me, but I feel like I'm also getting older. Friends of mine are getting engaged left right and centre, and getting married. I guess its about that time huh? When your friends are 24 - 26, they start settling down and getting hitched and all that jazz.

Now is the right time for me to start taking chances in life. I'm still young, have some work experience and money, and would have travelled the world and have seen a lot of things. I'll look into starting up my own business, work overseas for 5 or so years, might get an MBA, then come back, settle down in Australia, get married, get a mortgage, 2.5 kids, etc...

I'm out like the past,

Apologies, I've been distracted!

I met up with some old high school friends today. one of them said, what's happening with the blog? The updates aren't that frequent anymore.

Well I've been busy.......with facebook! It's jsut so interesting. Plus I've booked my holiday and will be leaving in 3 weeks! I've decided to go travelling around the world for 4 months.

I'm spending 2 weeks in Japan, 2.5 months in Europe and a month in U.S.

yes, one huge trip. its exciting and something i've always wanted to do. I've seen some of my friends go on massive trips, and been inspired by them and people I've met while travelling. So I thought, screw it! I'm doing it too!

I figure that it be worth the experience and it will broaden my mind. It'll be a blast and I can do it now cause I'm young and dont have that many commitments.

I'm out like around the world trips!
