My Year of the Life of Leisure

I left my job, left my apartment, sold most everything in that apartment and embarked on a year of travelling and leisure. I am working on writing a couple of books. This might be one of them... But then, my chief pursuit is leisure, so who knows exactly what will happen.

Internal conflicts

So. Now that I've nearly reached the end of this trip, part of my just wants to hop on the next plane and return to the US. Of course, I would much rather stay here in Europe. But the idea of earning money instead of constantly spending money is very seductive, and the sooner I start earning money, the sooner I can return to Europe.

I hope to return to Europe in February, or so, and look for a teaching job then. I would try to do so in Milan (for the obvious reason and for the reason that I really liked the city), but I've heard that the pay for English teachers is about half of what it is in Prague, and the cost of living is certainly higher. So, it is looking like I will go to Prague, save some money, then either travel some more or move somewhere else to teach English. The future will tell.

I have no idea where I am going on Friday (which is when I'm supposed to leave my hotel). I'm toying with the idea of Morocco or Spain or Portugal. Or perhaps some other place I haven't even thought of. If I leave on Friday, I will have a week somewhere, as I plan on arriving in London on Friday or Saturday next.

I still just want to buy a suitcase, go to London and pack it up and get on the next flight outta here.

What's happening to me???
