A year in Europe

On account of being one gadget crazy woman (nice term to use! Woman. Wow), I had decided that I just had to have the video Nano iPod and hence bought one at the cost of almost becoming bankrupt. And one thing led to another and even before I realized it, I had become a podcast addict. It was while getting my daily fix of podcasts that I first cam across "A Year in Europe"

ayearineurope is a website and it is this audio travelouge kind of thing. It is about this couple who decided to give up their jobs and sell their house and give up everything and go around Europe for a year. Not as your average run of the mill kind of tourists but as good travellers.

By the time I discovered it, they had already finished their tour and were back home and from what I gather, have now set up their own travel shop but listening to them was so much fun.

All this had set me thinking and then it struck me. Here they are, these two people, who because of their itch to see the world, gave up everything they had and just set out. How many of us can do that right now?

I am twenty-four now and fresh out of B-School, all confused and trying to figure out what I want to do after this and where to go after this and I have already given up on so many of my dreams. There are so many uncertainities in life like who do I work for finally and which place do I make my home in and all that and in the process had forgotten all about my dreams. The big ones and the small ones. It is all just so easy to forget them and fall into the daily rhythm of life and then look back and think how foolish you were to even dare to dream such dreams

But no, I am not let it going to happen to me. I am going to get all my dreams back and start living them.

PS: I know this doesnt technically come under October 31, but still since I aint asleep yet, it is still the post for October 31, 2007. Being an insomniac is no fun at all sadly.
