Not even a week after I finally let go of all the pain I was feeling life has hooked it up. For me life is about traveling and it probably doesn’t come as any surprise, since I’m a social dynamics coach, that people fuel me. Backpackers and entrepreneurs are pretty much my favorite people on the planet.
For the last week I have been really homeless. For the majority of the last year and half I have been fortunate enough to have temporary places to live. This last week, not so much, I spent my days trying get some work done while also figuring out where I was going to lay my head that night. Armed with my computer, phone, bike and a few sets of clothes in my backpack I begun my adventure.
With all that being said the homeless diet is suuuuper effective. I think I lost 10 pounds, all of which I hope I gained back with my latest pie (pizza pie) binge. I’m a huge slut for pizza btw. The pizza was part of a celebration because I am going to be homeless no longer and the job I found couldn’t be more perfect for me. I’ll be working for a hostel starting next week.
Ever since I quit my job for a major retail bank I knew that corporate life wasn’t for me. I don’t want to work my whole life only to actually live for the last third of it. “Living” means different things to different people but traveling is the most alive that I’ve ever felt. I recently heard a quote that said, “You either start planting your roots or start spreading your wings.” This week I started spreading my wings and it feels so good to stretch them out.
At the hostel I’ll just be working in exchange for a room, shower, breakfast and wifi. DREAM!!! That’s almost all I need. That and enough money to buy my next plane ticket and pay my couple bills each month. Oh yea and I don’t know if I mentioned this but I. LOVE. FOREIGN WOMEN. They are definitely my favorite and I’ll have to consult the manual to see what the hostels policy is on sexual relations with the guests. Judging by my past (I used to get girls cell phone numbers from the banks records if I thought they’d be into me shhhhhhhh) I’m sure I won’t care either way so let’s pray that I can control my libido long enough to have a place to live for a while. I met some of the staff and they all seem great, I can’t wait to start.
I have a question for the TNTML readers. Do you know anyone who has hostel hopped around the world? By hostel hopping I mean working from hostel to hostel.
Thanks again to everyone who’s taken the time to read my blog pieces so far. It’s already been such a crazy journey since I started revealing all my secrets to you although I know I’ll have more to share.
