I worked in advertising in NYC. Thanks for the congrats. It's just feels really good to be doing what I'm doing right now. We'll see what comes of it all, when I return back home in the Spring.

Congrats! By the way, that's a solid mantra. Did you come from the 9-5 world prior to this extended bit of travel? Sounds like you’re living the good life. Congrats!

I am a classic #4 and #5. How dare I at 36 presume to believe that, having returned in December from 2 1/2 wonderful months in South America, that I can head back in February instead of finally, at long last, settle back in and find a JOB?? What will going to the Galapagos or the beautiful beaches of Canoa or summiting Copotaxi do to help me reach my as-of-yet unspecified career goals? Um, nothing. But I can't help it. It feels good to just be enriching my life. As a good friend reminded me, when we are lying on our death bed which will surely be one day soon, we will not regret the things we did, but the things we did not. That has now become my guiding mantra. Ahhhh guilt! I am a classic #4 and #5.

(Though some might argue that self-awareness is a double-edged sword.) A thought to rein in some of your guilt: That you are thinking about these issues (and writing about them) probably means that you act on a few of them. And since you are acting on a few of them, your influence is likely more positive than so many others who are not even giving them a second thought. .-= Daniel Noll´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UncorneredMarket/~3/pPwmCbCZIDk/" rel="nofollow">From Bangkok to Buenos Aires, For the Love of Public Transport</a> =-.
