MOVE

I found this link today:

Though the video doesn't say much I don't think it really needs to. After chatting with my soon to be fellow traveller Curt, we discussed the idea of settling down in careers right now and how it totally isn't something we want to do right now. It reinstated my thinking that while obviously "life is too short" and such, the major thing is that I cannot see myself signing a contract to a job at the age of 24--a job I may be in until I'm in my 40's, bitter, and wishing I had done more with my life while I was young and free.


The good news is since I have already taken the steps to do this, it's no problem. It just got me thinking that more people should be doing this. Maybe that's why people are unhappy later in life, because they're the ones saying "Oh man...I wish I had done that when I was your age." So thankfully, I am happy that I will not be one of those people. Instead, I will get to be "Oh wow, when I did that when I was 24..." etc.


The tattoo is really meaning more and more to me as I think about it. It's crazy to think in 36 days I will be taking off to Brisbane. I have been in contact with a hostel called Backpackers and will be staying there for the first 2 + weeks of my stay. I am really excited, even bought a new bathing suit online today! I start working at Joey Tomatoes serving full out on Wednesday so I'm super excited to start making some tip money. 


This post won't be long...found some great pictures online this week while embracing sharkweek on discovery channel. This one happens to be my favourite

Anyways, the free time I've had has allowed me to get a solid tan going so far and spend a lot of time at the gym (surf prep). Really hoping I'll be able to find success in surfing as I think it's incredible. As long as I don't drown...or get shark attacked lol.

More to come in the future...
