Everyone I know, including myself, has taken off at one stage or another and travelled from country to country, city to city, taking odd jobs on the way to pay for getting from one place to another. I would suggest saving up some cash before you go anywhere, just to be on the safe side. I'm still deciding what I want to be when I grow up. At some stage over the past few years I started collecting wind up toys and lava lamps. I'm not sure how it happened, but it sure makes for a colorful living room.
Toys are so much fun.
Always remember, you are never too old for them.
