In late 2005 I went though a "what am I doing with my life" slump. Then it happened... i-to-i travel sent me their regular newsletter, only this time, it included a live/work program for Australia. I have journal entries dating back to fifth grade writing about Australia. I talked to my boss about this three month program and started to budget. It gave me a goal...something to look forward to. It definitely drew me out of my slump.

I started to date Alex toward the end of 2006. He showed interest in coming along which eventually turned into a solid plan. However, it didn't make sense that I would be working 40 hours a week while he was off playing with kangaroos. Instead, the three months turned into seven weeks including New Zealand and Fiji in the mix. The remainder of the time requested off was scattered around in other areas of the world for scuba diving trips and action packed adventures.

Needless to say, I am far from being in a slump these days. While the original "big journey" is over, we are keeping the travel bug tame with shorter trips and future planning.
