Where do I go this summer?!

[freespiritz]

Freespiritz has been in a dilemma for the past couple of months, watching the summer draw nearer and nearer and nearer and not knowing what to do with it.

HALP!

I’m set for June, thanks to the impulse roadtrip and two weeks of work back at college. But I have no idea where to go after, so maybe you guys can help me decide.

I initially thought I was going to go to Honduras and elsewhere around Central America, since I had a friend in Roatan who was going to host me for a week and show me around a little, let me take my baby steps in CA and all that jazz. BUT now she tells me she isn’t going to be around at all. So I have jitters kicking in about being alone in a foreign place, as I always do before a trip.

On other fronts, my parents can hook me up with a plane ticket back to Malaysia and set me up with volunteering for two months somewhere of my choice – Cambodia, Thailand, Sri Langka, working with World Vision to do media and writing stuff, and they’d pay for my ticket there too.

I was really looking forward to living the fine life (although with no money) on the road and just being out there on my own in Central America, although I’m always kind of scared of it too, and wandering through an area of the world that I’ve never been to. I’m sure it would make for some good stories.

Volunteering, however, would be free for me, and it’s something I’m definitely interested in doing at some point – especially since it’s media and writing-related. However, I’m not sure how ready I am to spend this summer working with people because I was so ready to be out on my own (read: wild and free), and my current lack of certainty may be inconveniencing others – something I’m not a fan of doing. I was also thinking of going home in December instead, and I don’t really want to go back twice in a year.

I’m just confused, but I need to buy a ticket somewhere soon before I end up homeless in Maine, which wasn’t where I intended to be homeless – if anyone has any other suggestions, fire away, I’m listening.
