So here I am, 2 months after my last post. I wish I could say it was because I've been so busy, I haven't had time to update, but that's just not true. Truth is I'm just lazy.
I do however have lots of news, big changes are in store in my life. I did officially submit my resignation at work. My last day is September 10th, and of course I leave for my trip on September 12th. I only have 7 days of work left at ATCC then I am gone for good. I still can't hardly believe it. But I am getting excited for my trip, in 2 weeks I will be in Turkey! I have most of the plans I can make ahead of time, taken care of. All my accommodations in Turkey, my flight in Turkey, my flight from Istanbul to Odessa, my apartment I'm renting in Budapest. Other then that, I am going to go with the flow and see how things take me. A little daunting, but exciting. It will be nice not to have to have an exact set schedule. And traveling alone gives you that extra flexibility to travel where the wind takes you.
After I return from my trip, I have no plans yet. I am still keen on the idea of moving to Buenos Aires, but I have no distinct plans yet. It interesting when people ask me what I'm doing and I tell them I don't know, that I want to move abroad, knowing no one, having no job, and not knowing the language that well. The response to that is sometimes mixed, but overall it's been mostly positive. I think secretly most people wish they could do that, just take off somewhere with no plans, no responsibilities and just live. Most people are excited for me, saying they wish they could do that themselves but have too many responsibilities. Which is exactly my point, I need to do this now, while I still can. While I am young enough "to get away with it." Before I get stuck where I am and have regrets. I am going to figure everything out when I return from Europe. Since I live at home, it will be OK to spend a month or so getting plans in order, it's not like I have a lot of expenses.
So what else is new with me, not a whole hell of a lot. Basically this trip and subsequent plans are all I have going for me right now, which is all the more reason why I need to get out of here and get a life!
