He was headed to China to teach English for a year, I was headed off on my big trip but we were able to meet up in various exotic Asian locales and started a pretty serious romance. Now we're planning a big trip to South America in the fall... together.This was not at all what I expected to happen when I set off to plan this trip (and when I wrote the above manifesto, the spirit of which I still absolutely believe). I think it's a really great example of the idea that when you follow your heart and your passions, everything else kind of falls in line. I thought I was giving things up to travel, and while I was, I was also opening the door to a whole slew of new opportunities. I haven’t thought about this post in a long time- but yes! here’s the update!

Definitely not right now anyways. It's just that with every choice you make you rule other choices out and I'm acutely aware of this. I know I'm making the best choices for myself though and I'm pretty sure that's the best way to stave off regrets. Oh I’m not saying I do want that. Definitely not right now anyways.

But it is necessary. It’s hard because it’s not really in my nature to just ignore one aspect of my life so completely (especially when all my peers seem to be pursuing it so fervently).

However I agree, the rewards far outweigh the pain. I think that is one of the most difficult decisions (giving up somebody to follow your own path).
