life help: I’m turning 22 and evaluating my life. - Help.com

What would you do if you starting going new places again? Ever been to another country?
I’ve moved a bit, but I eventually got tired of it and wanted to settle down in one place for a time, so the opposite scenario for me than for you it seems ^^

I’m the same way, man. I’m 21. I want to go back to school yet at the same time I want to move around. I’ve moved quite a bit since I graduated high school. I feel like a nomad. At the same time I stand back and look at my life and think “what am I doing?”.
Just keep in mind, school is important. Eventually you should try to go back. :)

yea I hear ya. But my “Vagabond Adventure” is present in my mind lol

Adventure for a while then! If you like photography and writing you could freelance and blog about your adventures and maybe make money doing it! Or you could volunteer places while traveling which looks great on resumes and when applying for schools. :P just a thought.

Go for it! Do what you like while you’ve little responsibilities such as a family to care for. Travel and enjoy. EGx

Let me share a story with you, being that I am pretty much in the same boat right now.

I was sitting at a bar one night. I don’t often go to bars, but that night I decided I would go to a restraunt bar and enjoy some good food and wine. There was this older man sitting next to me, he was talking away to some of the people I worked with. They all seemed to be enjoy his company. I started to eves drop onto their conversation, and very quickly I was ammused. He was talking about all the places in the world he’s traveled. How he’d stayed in one place for a year, then somewhere on the other side of the world for a year. He talked about all the jobs he’s had and how school was never reall his thing when he was younger. This was particularly interesting to me because school has always been a tough spot for me. Then he mentioned that he was an engineer. I decided to budge in and ask him how he became an engineer if he just didn’t feel like school was his thing.

He said “Well, after you traveled that world. Anything else seems easy. You see how much freedom we have in our country and how many advantages we have over other countrys. When I was finally finished with traveling I knew that school would be easy. I did it. It went by fast. And now I’m an engineer, with a family”

I don’t know if those words will do the same thing for you as they did for me. But I thought maybe you’d like to hear it. Best of luck with your travels sir.
