Hello There!

I want to see the world.  All of it.  This is a lofty goal, I realize, one only complicated by the ever-growing burden of my status as an unemployed college graduate.  Still, despite the worsening economy and because of the virtually non-existent job market, I am convinced that there is no time like the present to pack a bag and go on an adventure.  So that is my plan.  I have lived such a sheltered life--I cannot wait to burst that bubble and explore places near and far!  I am just beginning to research awesomely cool places to go to, as well as affordable means of getting to these said places, which is proving to be quite an eye-opening and never-ending process.  This whole life post-graduation thing proves very bizarre because on the one hand it is terrifying that I have nothing specific to do any more--no tests, no papers, no summer vacations--but on the other hand I can do whatever I want.  Anything and everything is possible.  My life is at a crossroads, and I am sitting in my car, in neutral, just waiting to switch gears and get going on the wonderfully and exhilaratingly open road in front of me.  At the moment, my sights are set on Australia or New Zealand--after all, what better place to begin an in-depth global journey than on the other side of the world?!
