Sofia in Australia

I  kept on reading other blogs about Australia and this one deserved it's own post.

Sofia's experience in Australia is so awesome. The pics taken in her adventures on beaches, in Sydney and around Australia are just too good to describe. The surfing part of her life just adds more value to all that. At some point it becomes obvious that she's living a dream. Chilling, surfing, exploring, enjoying, living like there's no tomorrow... she and Paul understand it and not only that, they just do it. It's the way life should be :)

I'll definetly want to meet them when I get there.

Just another exchange

I was in the cafeteria today, bored up to a point, but aware of my surroundings... then I heard New Zeeland, Japan, Australia... wtf? One of my colleagues was just saying that they're close. Ok. I know how Australia landed in the context, I can also understand that he likes Japan, so that was obvious too... but, but, but... New Zeeland? What's up with that?

It turns up that there's this guy at work that is planing to go there. I was astonished and suddenly really interested in his story. You see, I can't forget that NZ is a more user-friendly country (as in no real threats to human existence). I felt the urge of talking to him, maybe just for a few minutes.

I was once again amazed by his simple plan: use the AIESEC exchange program. Cogs started moving and my first question popped up: Are you a student? NO. He subscribed last fall in order to have a chance to apply for this opportunity. BAM! I was struck by confusion (why was I so stupid???). This sounds like a great idea, but it never occurred to me (what on earth have I been thinking about all this time?).

I will try to get him to talk more about his future plans. (so... I will enjoy writing another post on this subject).

Cheers,
Horia

P.S.: I have friend that told m that talking about my master plan was a bad idea (because people might perceive me as unwilling, because it won't matter anyway, since I'm leaving, to get emotionally attached;). Telling them I'm planning to leave would lower the expectations... yada yada yada... come to think of it, I truly believed it. But it turns out it doesn't work that way... just spread the word and let the people decide for themselves if they enjoy your presence and get the free gift of find connections and getting valuable feedback.
So, case closed, I won't brag about my plans to go in the land of Oz, but I won't hide them either.
