So i am honestly considering just ditching the whole 'try and find work and a place to stay for 6 weeks' and just going traveling. spending more time in bali and thailand then originally planned and returning home with my sister the end of july. trying to find work and a place to live is stressing me out too much, and i havent even looked very hard. i spoke to naomi (a girl with iep) today and she said that she would take a look for me and get back to me later today or tomorrow.
what do you guys think? does this make sense to you? because as far as im concerned, unless i get one of those fantastic jobs where i get free food and accommodation im not going to make very much money anyways (especially us working/travelling visa-ers get taxed $0.30 on the dollar) in such little time - ESPECIALLY since i will be spending what money i do make on food and accommodation. So today i will go to manly, wait for naomi to get back to me and if i get nothing i do think i'll continue on my trip onward and upward to cairns, down to alice springs and through to adelaid....drive the ocean road and then get back to brisbane around the middle to late april - stay in bali for a month and in thailand for 2 months.
am i just giving up? did i not give it a good enough shot?
i met a guy yesterday from winnipeg and he did just that - he got his work visa but didnt work. once he got here he decided to travel. and he seemed to have a pretty good time with it. he's off to singapore in the next couple of days - then thailand and then europe.
like my mom said, i wont be setting up my paypal account - keep your monies for yourself, for your babies (christine), and your new floor (jenn) and i'll just bum whatever i need off my ever-so-loving ma and pa!
id love to hear your guys opinion on this!

Dear Alia Beth;
I was wondering how long it would take you to come to this realization. Do you really want to spend 6 weeks sleeping on a strangers couch? Sure, it would be a good experience, or it could be a horrible experience. I think if you were staying there for a full year, and you were planning on working for six or seven months, it would make sense, but finding work and a place to live for 6 weeks, just doesn't. Go ahead girl, like Mark Twain says, throw off those bowlines, catch the trade winds. You've been wandering around now for three weeks, look at a map, make a plan and set out!!!
But never, ever forget how much we love you!

This is for Shea - Uncle Willy is my cousin, Alia's cousin really, but he is known by Jenn and Alia as Uncle Willy. He is lovely. All my cousins are lovely. They have a lovely Mum.
yeah travelling is better than working anytime. if you have the opportunity, do it.
If there is one thing that I find people make mistakes with...it's not doing what they want to do. So...
DO WHAT YOU WANT :)
You can't ever regret that. See the world and enjoy what time you have. And when the money runs out, come back home to people who love you. That's what you should do.
