Buy an old van, follow the sun, and do a lap of Aussie.

Awesome place.

I'm going back next week to do Perth-Darwin.

In all seriousness I think I'd start a hobby project that I could monetise down the track if I wanted.
And run. Being this unfit is shit.
And travel.
And fuck. Life's all about fuck'n.

I do quick browse of forums on phone between power cuts in Nepal. I see this thread, I must reply.

Travel is cool, but not for everyone. If you are unhappy at home it does not mean you will be happy traveling, especially if you end up in a place that you didn't really want to go.

That being said travel alone and travel with friends are two totally different things. I have done both, to very different locations. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The year off thing I have done, it cost me a fair amount of money in lost earnings, which is something you need to think about. It's also very easy when you have no job by choice to get stuck in a rut of not wanting to work. Based on my experience, 1 - 2 months off should be used as a trial. If you find you are then doing the same thing each day you should get a new job, a job that excites you. I know it's hard to look at job ads and Shit, but just read them and look for something that jumps out at you. Something different to what you may normally do.

I have more to say, and can tell you when I am back.

Whatever you do, enjoy it, life will never be as simple as it is right now.

What most here have said, get overseas somewhere cheap and beautiful and make that 12k go a very long way.

I spent 6 months in South America and had a wonderful time, could of easily spent more time there.
