Life decision!

!
i am 23 years old, female and i need a change.

i am trying to decide out of two things: moving to a big city within Australia that I love, or moving to Europe for a working holiday.

Factors:
-my friends are going to the city and it would only be six months away, i’d live with them, it would be super fun
-i have been to this city before and it’s amazing, i love it, i want to spend most of my life there
-i would have to save for another year to have enough money to go to europe
-i’m not really happy living at home with my parents
-i could still go to europe if i moved to the city, i’d just have to wait a longer time
-i have nobody to go to europe with
-i am saving money really quickly living at home with my parents but would still need a year to save enough for europe
-i have always wanted to go to europe
-i really need to change my life and i think i would be happy in the city with my friends
-i feel like i might miss the chance to to go europe if i don’t go now, but i would need a full year to save enough money
-i just got a good job here adnd i should possibly stay there for more than six months because it is such a good job, but in the city there are more jobs, and i now have some good experience
-emotionally i feel the city is the way to go, but logically it’s europe. i feel like i would be really happy in the city and it’s much easier and sooner, but i don’t want to miss out on my chance to go to europe even if i do have to go alone.

what does everyone think?

Girl you got a good Job stick with it .On top of that staying with your Parents you can save a lot more. You don’t miss out on anything you still young .My Son left to go to Europe when he was 24 he bought a house before he left for Europe and we looked after it with renting it. He went all through Europe ,then Africa then India he was gone for over 2 years back packing .He made hundreds of Friends from all over the World .My advise is stay with your Parents and save as much as you can..

Theres a recession at the moment - I am a recruitment consultant in UK and I know many Aussies who are struglling to find work here. In fact I struggled to find work when I was in Australia on a working holiday a few months ago. My advise stay where you are come to Europe when the economy is doing a bit better!

hehe not a bad idea. i could save stay here a while, save up lots of money, THEN go.

i really appreciate yr advice, i think sometimes you can’t simply just go with the safe option

There are a lot of Aussie barmen in London :p

More sunshine in Australia

I’m living at home as well know how you feel and won’t be moving out for at least 3-4 years can save much easier, going to start buying houses when I can and not moving out until house #3, or possibly and ideally in with a girl living quite a long way away… well that’s the plan.

I know someone in recruitment as well and lots of vacancies are only for if you have good experience because there are so many candidates at the moment, think you’d still probably find something like barwork fairly easily though but there’s no telling.

Where in Europe would you go and why you want to visit?

i was thinking portugal because i have an english degree and i could teach english over there.

i really want to go all over, though.

the urgengey to change my life now ia palpable, though, as i just ended a five year relationship and i am trying to shake a few things in my life up.
