sold everything for a european adventure
I sold my car, packed up my apartment, quit my job, and now I’m about to hop on a plane to Europe with just a suitcase and my savings. I’m not going for a week or two—I'm talking about really living there for a while, just seeing what happens.
Honestly, I’m both nervous and excited. It feels like I’m standing at the edge of a diving board, and I can’t decide if I’m brave or just plain nuts. My family keeps telling me I’ve lost my mind, and maybe they’re right. But after years of the same old routine, I just couldn’t take it anymore. Life’s too short to keep waiting for the "right time," right?
I work in IT, so I’m hoping I can find a short-term contract when I get back, but who knows? Maybe I’ll come back broke and have to start from scratch. Still, I’d rather risk it than spend another year wondering what could have been.
Has anyone else ever done something this drastic? Did you regret it, or was it the best thing you ever did? If you’ve traveled long-term, especially in Europe, what’s one thing you wish you’d known before you left? And seriously, how did you deal with your family thinking you were making a huge mistake? I could use some reassurance—or even a reality check!
