The phrase "things never work the way you plan them" is overused, but with my life, understated. I started my summer hoping to be moved to Las Vegas right after school got out and subbing at schools in Las Vegas all summer. Instead, there are zero jobs availabe, even through temp services, and in all actuality, I could've stayed at home all summer with how out of town I've been with travels associated with various things.
I am finally moved in to Vegas halfway through the summer, and although I have made zero extra money, that hasn't stopped me from traveling...
Unfortunately I feel like a lot of my traveling has been the result of bad decisions. Any savings I've put away have been strictly for one thing: travel. What have they been used for? Repairs on my car and unexpected "go-wrongs". That's what savings is SUPPOSED to be for, I know, so in this case, things not going as planned there has been a good thing.
I've discovered a few things in all my traveling this summer. One is that there feels like something is missing. Another is, it's really hard to find friends to travel with! Everyone is working or poor or married. Finding single independent people to travel with isn't easy, and traveling alone in Europe unaccompanied as a young woman? I only own one very small thing of pepper spray....So, what I've concluded, now that I'm broke, is that I'm going to wait to travel with my future hubby, pre-kids, and on a senior mission.
