Originally I had planned to go out for 1.5-2 years of traveling with a brief 2-3 months of stay in the states. Part 1 was to be Peru and then Part 2 was the rest of south america and central america.. well as you can see things have changed a bit...
So I did go on part 1. Spent an amazing time in Peru . When I came back, I decided that instead of leaving right after the summer, I wanted to stay through the holidays since I missed the holidays last year and didn't feel like missing another year.
Then as i'm doing my job search and realizing it is much harder than what I originally planned (tho, this was probably the worst time for me to come back, and I really should have just taken off again instead of tackling the job market and finding a permanent job). So, being in a bit of panic to find a job and wanting to keep it (and not quitting again so i dont have to go through this again next year).. I'm thinking that once I get a permanent job, I will likely not quit and do my overseas travels within the paid vacation time that I have accrued. So, I still want to travel and see many other worlds, but it just wont be in the extended amount of time i originally planned for....
However, what i've been thinking in the past week... is that if i'm still in a contract position (meaning not permanent) in a few months and if I dont get this one job that I really want and applied for... I may consider just going back out again.... maybe apply for doctors without borders and see if i get in this time (last time I didn't get the job because I didn't have enough experience working in a developing country)... maybe travel without doing volunteer work.. who knows...
