Re-gaining the Mojo

---

Ok I’m ready to declare it. My mojo is back. My dreariness, cautiousness and ill health from my sickness is for the large part gone.

I’m ready to travel again. Not because I feel I have to, but the desire is creeping back. Here’s my update list of things-to-do. I want my next leg to be purpose-driven more so than location driven, so I’ve now revised the list to have the what first and the where second:


• Hiking in Fimmvörðuhálsand and road-tripping in Iceland. Can mix in drop-ins to my much-loved France, Spain, and what not.
• Organised hike in Madagascar, Mt Kiliminjaro or, more likely due to cost, Himalayas.
• Organised volunteering in Philippines or Kenya.
• Non-organised volunteering in Manila. Can mix in beach weekends and short trips.
• Organised tour, volunteering or otherwise, of Sahara Desert, Morocco. Could easily combine with Iceland hiking if not for cost.
• Visit Grandma in Adelaide. This I could do easily do en route to elsewhere. Grandma would be happy to see me I’m sure, but at the same time I don’t think landing there for days and days would be fitting.
• Stay to study in Sydney. Would also let myself finally buy a motorbike due to the extra funds saved.


So the point is that it may seem to others that I'm kind of hanging around pointlessly in Sydney, but I definitely feel a lot of progress in terms of strengthening my health and clarifying my intentions for this break. I feel much more ready than last time I left due to knowledge I learnt about myself during the two months away.
