hello!!

Hey everyone! I finally got the nerve to post something here... I've actually got a question... I know this is something pretty personal, but I've decided to just ask it here just to get different points of view, so feel free to speak your mind... PLEEEEEASE!!

My dream has always been to travel around the world, to get to know a lot of new places, people, customs... I have especially been very attracted to Germany -don't ask me why- .

Ok now... I recently graduated as a psychologist and have the perfect opportunity to start traveling, the thing is I don’t have enough money, I'm 25 years old and I feel like everyone else -namely my colleagues- already has a "real job", they're already making money and getting on with their lives, some of them already have experience in their area and all!!!


Everybody thinks that I'm going to europe to start a master's degree or something, but that's the last thing I wanna do right now! I wanna travel around, sit back and relax, nevetheless, I wouldn’t like to abandon my career to traveling, after all I’ve worked hard for it, and I know there’s yet a lot to do.

Another issue is… I’ve always been a dreamer, not really a do’er and I wanna change that really bad! I have traveled before, but they’ve always been very planned out trips, like school exchanges and vacation, very safe and organized, but I never really get up and go… like I said a dreamer, so I think this is a great opportunity to change that… guess I’m too scared of the future?? (ya think?) has anyone got any ideas on what I can do to change this???

So I don’t know if I should just start getting my “real” secure job, start getting my experience here in my country and get on with my career right now or just go for the backpacking and just start with my backpacker lifestyle??? I just feel like this time of my life is so decisive...

so thanks for reading this far and any advice is very very welcome.
