I'm going to live in italy for a year when I graduate... Since i own a flat whaaaaaat lol.
So I'm going to be all up in Europe!!!!! maybe go backpacking for a month.I'm really excited!!!!
I'm just going to focus on myself and the present and not worry about my future because I've been focusing on that since I was 15.. I'll probably just do some freelance work for that year.. Or do some cute **** like work as a barista or something.
I feel like being a waiter would be a good way to get numbers too LOL... since i need to build up a social network when I move to new places. That's my mercury thing going on.
I need to see more of Europe myself, want some company on that backpacking?  I think we'd get along alright even in person. We could go to the spas on lazy days and have our nails done, fight over dudes lmao! Dance all night, be silly. Yeahhh. ------------------

Sooo can I join you guys?  I may or may not have no money at the moment but I'm trying to save up... I've been to Europe but only during high school and with family so I didn't get to explore much but I'd really like to go back and you guys are pretty cool lol

Never been overseas, but I still experienced culture shock when I moved from Tucson, AZ to New York City. Everything from the attitude to the way of life is so different over here. I had to learn to move and act at a quicker pace or I wasn't going to survive. Also had to grow eyes on the back of my head while riding the subway lol. I will admit the first few nights in the city I was scared out of my mind. IP: Logged |

Well, I've lived (as in more than three months each stretch) on four continents and I've traveled across six continents. I think I do alright in terms of adaptation. I have relatives all over the world. IP: Logged |

The incident that stands out in my mind right now is when I went to Japan.I had a few drinks out with my girlfriends. I'm 5'10" and I was wearing 6" platform heels and a mini-skirt. I had to go to the bathroom and when I entered the stall... there was no toilet. It was a literal hole in the floor. I honestly don't know how I didn't fall in but I survived somehow to type about it now. IP: Logged |
