Vacation When I get back?

As the end of April approaches, I've started to look at flights back home and ballpark what I'll be spending to get there but I've also kind of been looking at what I want to do when I come home as far as a vacation. Now, you might assume that this experience has been my vacation but in all honesty, I've worked very hard the entire time I was here and sacrificed a lot to get to see all of the places I've seen so far.

Obviously when I get back home I'll need to return to my old job at the restaurant if they have space for me or find another job but before I do that I'll be taking some much needed time off. I started looking at trips to Cuba from Toronto for a week in September. Honestly, with the money I come home with including what I already have saved in my account, I could easily take a week in Cuba all inclusive and still come back with money to spare until I get back to work.

Going somewhere tropical has never really been something that I wanted to do too heavily because I hate the heat but after this year in Europe, I'm kind of ready to see something completely different than this. I've never gone anywhere tropical in my 33 years on this planet and I think it's about time to go and relax on a beach for a week sipping free fruity drinks and just relaxing. I think a trip like this will help put me in a better place mentally to think about what I want my next steps in life to be. Next steps in regard to whether I want to move to New Zealand or commit to staying home and working on my blog. I still don't know what direction to take although things keep getting clearer for me day by day. 

I was actually having a chat with someone at the hostel today about being in my thirties and still having little to no clue what I want to do with my life. I mean, I have ideas but I am still all over the place you know? I envy my friends sometimes that have their careers and their houses that they own because they have something that they've worked so hard for. I will always have this travel experience for sure but I can't help but think about how nice it will be to on my own little something. 

Why is getting old so hard? :P
