Apologies for the multiple posts today...

I've been thinking a bit. I'm currently a "grown-up," working for a living and earning an actual paycheck and all that fun stuff. Granted, I know that a lot of stuff could very well be in flux for a while, and anything could change, but I'm still thinking...

And I was sort of wondering if it might be fun to save up and do some traveling next summer. Like, go to a con or go visit some people. I love to travel and I love to see new places, and there are some people I want to visit/meet. So I'm sort of putting it under major consideration.

Don't know if it would happen, but...I'm thinking about it ^^ And now I'm going to bed.

Yes!!! Definitely! Taking time off and traveling is the best - and you have a profession that will allow you to do that as long as you're okay financially.

Europe, of course, is very expensive now, given the strength of the euro and the dollar being in the toilet; particular the UK, where the pound is more than 2x the dollar (and something that costs $25 here costs 25 pounds there - meaning it's $50). But there are plenty of places to see here, there's Canada, Latin America.

Of course, I'm partial to Brazil - I think it's the best place on earth. :)

Yeah, it's the financial aspect of things that's going to keep this idea up in the air for a while. I know I'll have the time (summer vacation, whoo~!!), but I don't know if I'll have the money.

I wasn't thinking so much of going international as going, say, somewhere in the States to meet some LJ friends, or fly out to Idaho where a couple of my best college buddies live or something like that. Again, all up in the air--would have to talk to people, too ^^;;

I did love Europe when I went, though (Germany and Austria), but I've never been to the UK. Or Brazil XD I need to see more places! My dream is to go to Japan someday, though ^____^

It's awesome to have the time to visit everyone - and cheaper than traveling internationally definitely.

I've never been to Japan but I have a friend who lived there for a few years. He loved it so much he married a Japanese woman and is now living there for good. :)

That's one of the top countries on my list of places to visit before I die (as well as China and Mongolia - Mulan nut, after all). It's supposedly a beautiful country. My friend loves the lifestyle there.
