Let me join the club! This is how the last months have looked for me.

I am pretty much a temporary worker and leave a place when I dont like it anymore, which eventually always happens. Im talking about work for about one month to maybe 6 months in mostly hospitality. I try to get sufficient funds for in-between jobs. Usually I cannot stay much longer than one month without a job but that is my time off. You might ask yourself what is the fun in living like this? First of all I flourish in new environments. Unfortunately, everything wears off. After my time in Dublin, I worked for two weeks on a farm in Austria to see hows things are run. Great experience. I saw enough and then I decided to go to Vienna where Im typing all this from. Its a nice city I think and Im considering finding a job here. I dont have any obligations towards anyone accept paying my monthly insurance. It has happened that the financial situation got really tight and thats the other side of the coin. Also the effort of finding a reasonable new job is tiring. I wont build a career from this but at the moment this I how I want to live although Im starting to have second thoughts for personal reasons. You see a new environment, new people, a culture and its a way of growing. On top of that it keeps me away from the dreaded 9-5 and everything that comes with that.

For many people its a dream to quit their job and just start travelling a bit and see what happens. Thats exactly what I always dreamed of and now Im finally doing it. And you know what? Its easy as heck IF you want to trade the comfort of your home and everything well-known for something new, an adventure, living the life Id say. Oh, and in the spirit of the Steve Pavlina forum: remember crazy kids, your problems WONT stay at home
