I've been in the same job for nearly four years now, and i'm at the point where i really need a change, or i'll go mad. I'm thinking of taking a couple of months, maybe august and september, to do something ? I don't have a hell of a lot of money, but would love to do something completely different than my normal life in Ireland will allow. Bus across the states ? live like a hermit in alaska ? has anyone had any similar experience ? it would probably mean giving up my job, and having to look for something when i come back.......but, i'm prepared for that. any suggestions welcome..........has anyone expierienced the alaskan highway ? cheers, Retch.
This ain't no holiday. |

A trip across Australia or Chile. Or maybe a US coast to coast car trip. Or a trip in Sub saharian Afrika or the Transiberian railway. There are too many interesting places to visit, as long as you avoid turist locations. If you don't care about finding a new job at your return go for it. New experiences can't do you but good, specially if you are tired of your everyday life.

You can come work for me if your want to and you are qualified...
I live right next to the commonly known 3rd world country ("derek") called West Virginia (not 3 syllables but 5 with a twang)
But you're welcome to come
No hustle and bustle really
I'd like to go to Ireland though, I am 25% Irish I think if that means anything, and I used to be into Sinead

I quit my job in September b/c it was HELL. Then in October I went to the UK (saw Frank twice - whee!) and traveled around a bit. I JUST found a new full time job, but the time off has been worth it. Hard and LONGER than expected, but definetly worth it. So I say, go for it! Whatever IT is.
Travelling across the states sounds good, I have always wanted to do that.
