Thanks you two.

Graham—I have to say that the play really got me thinking. I met a guy almost a year ago who had just returned from Micronesia, where he had served with the Peace Corps. We talked for several hours and I felt such a pull to be doing something like that, but I needed to finish college, etc.

Now, I feel slightly trapped. I have a pretty good job (yes, even though my boss is a jackass), and my life is.. comfortable. Which, now that I write that down, makes me uncomfortable—as it should. Jean’s suggestion is a good one, and honestly, one that has gotten me thinking quite a bit.

I hope you do travel Europe and have a phenomenal time—I’m sure the subsequent tales will be excellent blog fodder. 😉

I hope both our paths reveal themselves soon. (I do prefer, however, the yellow brick road type, as it is so much easier to see.) 😉

I have to say I profoundly empathise with what you describe. No matter where I am I have sense of other things that I desperately want to experience and try.

At the moment I’m considering either travelling through Europe, which is rather cliche’d, but potentially rewarding while still being familiar… or maybe putting this restlessness to some good use and doing some voluntary work, as I mentioned to you on my own blog.

I think the alternative option is to try and find the type of employment that would involve being in a new environment/culture, or something like that.

I’m not sure at the moment. Just as confused as you :P. But, I’m confident the path ahead will reveal itself soon. And, I’m absolutely positive it will for you, too :).

Jean—that’s interesting. Does he speak many languages? I’ve actually had someone mention that to me before, as I talk incessantly (yeah, well :P) and I love to travel. Oh, and I like to tell people random things. So, hmmm, that would be a good fit for me. 🙂

Someone I met this summer has solved this dilemma by becoming a tour guide in Europe. He works freelance and earns enough to keep traveling in his off months.

You should go with it, and move wherever the wind takes you. The world is a beautiful place, it deserves to be seen.
