If you asked me five years ago where I\u2019d be today, I don\u2019t think my answer would have been working at a honey factory in Australia.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In fact, I don\u2019t think anyone could have predicted what\u2018s happened in the world in the last eight months, but I can safely say that I don\u2019t regret one minute of my time spent here in Oz.<\/p>

After graduating from university four years ago, I continued to work full time for the same company I had spent the previous three summers with. It provided me with amazing networking connections, allowed me to spend my summers outside in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, and forged some of the strongest friendships I\u2019ll ever have. But room for upward growth was relatively limited, and even with the opportunities I did have, I knew it wasn\u2019t what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I was starting to get burnt out, and I decided I was too young to be feeling this way.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

Deciding to quit and deciding to travel were two seperate issues. <\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I knew in late 2018 that I needed to leave my job, but I didn\u2019t fully start thinking about travel until the following April.<\/p>

My original plan was to leave my job that November and travel for about three months, spending six weeks in Australia and six weeks in South America, and then return home to get on with my life. But then it occurred to me that if I\u2019m uprooting everything, my job, my house, and my life, what\u2019s the need to rush back to the States?<\/p>

Aside from the fact that six weeks isn\u2019t nearly enough time to see either of those continents, I started to explore options for long-term travel. If I was going to be traveling for more than three months, I\u2019d need to start earning some money along the way, which is when I started to look at Australia\u2019s working holiday program.<\/p>

What started as a vacation for a few weeks turned into a full year of travel.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
I'm a planner and always have been, so what scared me the most about taking this leap was the uncertainty.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Where would I go, what would I do about money, where would I work, would I have fun, what would I do when I returned home? These were all questions that I pondered in the months leading up to my trip, that I\u2019ve since come to realize don\u2019t really matter.<\/p>

I think it\u2019s smart to put a little bit of thought into where you want to go and what you want to see, and it\u2019s good to have enough savings to last a few months without a job, but the rest will fall into place. There are plenty of ways to travel on a budget, and certain countries are more expensive than others, so don\u2019t feel like you have to spend your life savings.<\/p>

If you need inspiration on specifics, I recommend you check out this YouTube channel<\/a>. You\u2019ll likely need a flight to get to your first destination, and a place to stay for the first week, but beyond that you can\u2019t predict what will happen once you arrive.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I arrived in Australia on November 15, 2019 and after my first week in Melbourne, I knew I was going to need more than a year in this amazing country.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Prior to my arrival, I\u2019d spent hours making lists of top destinations, taking recommendations from friends, and making itineraries for how long I wanted to stay in each location. I had a plan for how I wanted to travel, and when I would work, but what I couldn\u2019t have predicted was how much I would love Melbourne, and want to stay for as long as possible. I left the city just at the start of quarantine, and moved to regional Victoria to pursue my farm work. This will allow me to spend an additional year in Australia, and it\u2019s possible that I\u2019ll continue my farm work for an additional six months to stay for a third year.<\/p>

What have I learned from my eight months here? Dropping everything and leaving your former life behind doesn\u2019t absolve you of responsibility.\u00a0Just because I\u2019m galavanting around Australia doesn\u2019t mean I don\u2019t still need to worry about paying my credit card bill, and how to figure out taxes in two different countries.\u00a0 But quitting my job and coming to Australia<\/a> was the best decision I could have made.\u00a0 Within the past year, my life has changed substantially.<\/p>

I\u2019m a more positive and open person; I\u2019m more adaptable, flexible, and have embraced any challenge I\u2019ve been faced with.\u00a0 I\u2019ve taken a \u201cone day at a time\u201d approach, and especially during the start of COVID and lockdown, found that to be the best way for me to handle the uncertainty about the future.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It occurred to me recently that often when meeting someone new at home, the question that quickly follows your name is \u201cwhat do you do?\u201d<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The pressure of work and career at home in America is just not what it is here in Australia. I know that some people know what they want to do with their lives from an early age, and they set out to make it happen.<\/p>

But what I\u2019ve found to be more often the case is that no one knows what they want to do, and that we’re all faking it until we figure it out. We all need to work to survive, but what\u2019s the point if you\u2019re not able to enjoy yourself outside of your work life.<\/p>

I know that one day I\u2019ll have to settle down, and likely go back to working a 9-to-5 job, but for the time being I\u2019m learning more from these life experiences than I could ever learn from behind a desk.<\/p>

I recognize that I\u2019m in a privileged position to be able to quit a stable job and travel 8,000 miles away from home. Especially amidst a pandemic, leaving work to travel may not be a viable option at the moment. But take this opportunity to evaluate what you want, and spend your time planning an adventure of your own. I can\u2019t recommend it enough!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
