Urge to travel

Postby Tony_S » February 6th, 2008

I was in New York City last Thursday for the weekend and on the way back stopped in London for a day and came back home tuesday.

it was my first trip abroad.

I've got a trip planned for Spain on the 29th of Feb and until that time i'm planning to work again and earn some more money

but ever since i got back i've been feeling kind of restless with this sudden urge to just take off again to anywhere.

Have any of you ever got that feeling to just go ?

Unfortunately money is my biggest problem with traveling. I don't have any of it. And the only problem with living inland on an Island continent is if I want to go OS I need at least $400 to fly anywhere return not to mention the 6hr drive to Sydney to make the flight.

I just got back from Xi'an, China a month ago and and am in the middle of my thesis so there's nothing more I want to at the moment than jump on a plane and go away again. I have to keep telling myself that I just need to wait till the end of the year and I can celebrate in the Pacific.

The only thing that gets me through it is continually planing for the next one.

Yep, I definitely know the feeling.

Exam season is just starting, I have two essays due tomorrow, and I'm so tired of being car-less and stuck in this city. Fortunately I have less than two months left here until I head south for a truly epic summer- my first ever solo trip to South America in May, a camping trip with friends in June, and then I head to New Zealand in mid-July for a year abroad.

45 days to go until I'm outta here...
