Choose my adventure

[amanda]

As some of you know, at the end of August, I am due to leave Japan. There are several plans afoot, but nothing has been settled yet.

Here's what I am looking at.

One- the disappearing plan. Hop aboard a freighter in Yokohama and head south to New Zealand or Austraila (wherever they decide). It'll be summer there soon, so it will be somewhat easy to return to the peasant traveling lifestyle- hostel managing, fruit picking and devil stick performances. Spend time hanging out with balcony bums, surfers and somewhat neferious types. Makes for interesting stories, but an outcast life with little to no financial support. Doesn't appeal to cats either.

Two- the practical plan. Return to "civilization" (America) for a time. Develop some skill sets that I've become fascinated with over the past few years, but have been too busy with traveling to do much about. Two potential locations I am looking at settling into, one much easier than the other- however, "easier" does not always constitute as "better". Makes for common stories, but an involved life with a much higher potential for financial support. Cats tend to like this type of life much more.

Three- something else entirely.

I am 23, single, some pocket money, but also with some bills to pay. What would you do?

Any ideas? Suggestions, advice, comments- all is welcome.
