It’s been a month almost to the day since I graduated college. I needed this month to eat, sleep and rest. Now it’s time to get to work. Over the past years, I’ve changed my mind so many times over what I would do with my life. I always knew three things: that I loved traveling and getting to know new countries/cultures, love history and that I am a foodie. No matter where I find myself, I always end up daydreaming about what I would be doing if I was in Europe. There are days where I would miss the continent more than others. Until now, I had a steady plan of working for a year and then going back to university for a MA in Museum Studies. But I’ve been thinking lately that I’m at a time in my life where aside from paying off my student loans, I don’t have much responsibility. I don’t have anything really tying me down. So why not go and explore the world? I’ve always fantasized about moving to Scandinavia, why not just do it? I always have a place to come back to here. But, how? What kind of job would I get? Well, I’m searching high and low. Some might think I’m crazy, but the best way I can explain myself is to use a quote by Mark Twain. It sums up what I feel 100%.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain
