Mathematics, philosophy, programming, in-line skating and everything in between. More about me…

Leap In The Dark

Imagine you could pause your current life for a year and travel the world. Imagine quitting your job and interrupting your college studies. Imagine packing three sets of clothes, a camera, a laptop, and a book of philosophy, and leaving for the Near East and Asia. For the ancient temples of Turkey, for the veiled women of Iran, for the mountain ranges of Pakistan, for the heat of India, for the monasteries of Tibet, for the wonders of China. Hitchhiking, riding a bike, taking trains, walking. Living on a few dollars a day, enjoying every day to the full and having no definite plans. Meeting people and immersing in their culture.

Would you do it?

I would probably do it under this three conditions
- Achieving bachelors degree,
- not working on interesting project,
- someone travelling with me.

I think that this awesome experience would open my mind and there won't be better time then college to go for it.

Yes, those are reasonable conditions. I was ready to leave out condition 1 but my life/travel companion wasn't, and I am probably not going to break condition 3, so... there's an extra year to learn Arabic I guess :-)
