I am trying to figure out what to do with myself. I am at a point in my life that I don't really have to choose anything if I don't want. And for the first time in my life I am not scared to have a plan. Funny how that works.
I have spent most of the day lounging about playing on the internet and looking at ticket prices. As of right now, my plan for the year goes like this: I will fly to London at the end of January. Hopefully I will be able to hangout in the UK for a few weeks, if its not too cold. From there I can head to Europe proper. I want to WWOOF in Portugal, Morocco (I know, not Europe) and Turkey. I'm not sure if I will have time for Portugal and Morocco but I am definitely going to in Turkey.
I have started looking into farms to work on and I think I may have found one! Its a farm on the Mediterranean that grows apples, almonds, pears and other fruits and vegetables. They also have some goats and chickens. I am hoping to have the opportunity to make cheese! (For those of you who are not aware of my stance on veganism and cheese making, I am actually ok with making and eating cheese if I know where it comes from and that the animals are treated well).
I need to contact them but I don't think it will be much of a problem. So if I WWOOF in Turkey I want to spend the entire month of April or May there.
Depending on how time goes, I may want to come back in May. I started looking at ticket prices out of Istanbul today. I think I might want to fly back to Portland in late May, work for the summer and use the money I make to move. I was invited to go to Tokyo next September. While I always like an excuse to go somewhere new, I don't think I can afford to go there and move, as much as I would like to.
Hopefully, the plan will lead me to moving to San Francisco by next fall. Or Brooklyn. I haven't decided yet and I am thinking that by the time I am ready to move, I won't know anyone living in Brooklyn anymore. All I know is that I will not be moving back to Portland for any long term living anytime soon.
As for right now, I should be making a plan to get to New Orleans or somewhere in Texas or somewhere....

Portugal is so beautiful. Make sure and go to the north away from the tourists. Morocco is rad and completely opposite of Europe. I knew some Irish gals who worked on a farm in Andalucía when I was living there, they loved it so much. You seem like such an ambitious person, that is amazing. I have very similar goals but I will have to wait until I graduate.
