All too quickly I had to head back to the states. It was very bittersweet to have the trip finally end. I was happy to be back in the US after almost 3 months away, but depression and reminiscing about the good times quickly set in. I’ve been back in SD for about 2 and a half months and things are back to normal. I got a job working at a surf camp and I’m still looking for a second one to pay the bills. I’m enjoying not working in an office though! It’s great to be outside most of the day at the beach. Kasey is back at Joe’s, slingin crabs. The edible kind. Jamie recently got a job at a coffee shop, and Ianne is doing the nightlife thing, working at Fluxx and Pasha.
So what is next? Well, the travel bug is still with me. I’m already itching for the next big thing. I’m planning a year living and working in Australia and New Zealand. Plus a month surfing in Indonesia. Definitely a big idea and one I’m currently trying to figure out how I’ll fund. Donating my eggs? Creating a pyramid scheme? Collecting cans again? :) I’m guessing good old fashioned hard work is how I’ll make it happen, but I’ll entertain any suggestions you may have. I’m not sure how you plan for living a year away from your home country so if you know anyone who has done this I’d love to talk to them. Until then, I’ll enjoy what San Diego has to offer. Summer is finally here!
