Have you ever felt like you were born to follow a cobblestone pathway and just wanted to feel dirt in between your toes? Have you ever felt like waking up every morning and feeling like it was yesterday? Have you ever felt like dragging your feet to the same place every single minute?That was me in 2004 during my last months in college. I was almost done with my program but I still wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life. I was in this deep limbo, neither wanting to be here nor there. No direction, nada.
Luckily, I wasn't alone with this dilemna. My high school friend, Van was sharing the same sentiments in life. We would always be talking about being some place different from Vancouver, or for me, different from the Philippines. We talked about it constantly and incessantly until we decided that travelling to Europe would be a great way to find our place in the world.
At this point, Van was already busy with her career as a Marketing person at company in Vancouver. On the other hand, I was busy with finishing with my school and working for a Physiotherapy clinic, doing all sorts of things. It was incredibly different from what I wanted my life to be. Nevertheless, I still sticked with it since I thought it was an easy way to earn money for our trip.
To make the long story short, we quit our jobs and left Vancouver on June 2005. Thus, the beginning of my happy snaps tales.
