Dazed and confused from the options

Back in November I wrote an email to a few folks regarding the new opportunities of countries I could visit and work on a Working Holiday Visa up to the age of 35. Now here’s my predicament. I’ve always sorta had a 3 year plan. Nothing too extravagent. Just a simple list of countries I wanted to visit, live and work. Just a few years ago, my choices were quite smiple as there were only a handful of countries where I could get to, due to age restrictions and not being a student and all.

And as of last week, while checking the Youth International Program Canadian DFAIT (Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade) site, I discovered another country added to the list. The Czech Republic. Oh wow! Now my decision just got even harder.

As for my plans so far after Japan, it’s a wee trip back to Canada and then off to the Himalayas, and then possibly India and/or S.E. Asia. And by this time next year, I hope to be just starting my year in France on another Working Holiday Visa. Now, even though I don’t need to make a decision where to go after France, for about 2 years, the current opportunities is enough to keep me gittery. Ahhh, the troubles of being a Virgo, pedantic, anally retentive and controlling. I must always plan, plan and over plan things. Some of the fun also comes from planning the possible opportunities. Hmph, to go to Norway, Latvia, Czech Rep, or the Nederlands.

I can’t believe it’s bothering me, and also keeping me so excited this far in advance. Though, if I do end up meeting that special someone before any of this happens, I’m sure that all of my plans would simply fall apart. Ahhh, the power of love… is a curious thing. Make a one man weep, make another man sing. Change a hawk to a little white dove. More than a feeling thats the powe of love.
Hah! Gotta have cheese once in a while.
