I haven't visited Belfast, Sarajevo or Patagonia. I didn't managed to go back to Ohio even if I promised my host family I would do so. The American road trip was also cancelled since my cousin, with who I was suppose to go, was admitted to an exchange program in California the same year. But, I went to Berlin. Not just once actually, but four times. I'm still a dreamer and staring at my small globe for hours is still one of my favourite activities. By the way, I wish I hadn't forgotten my uncle's old one I inherited (you know, the one in which Russia was still USSR)!
Realistic destinations: Kraków and Wroclaw in Poland , Iceland, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Jerusalem, Israel.And more expensive ones (one day, I'll get a job, one day ;)): the Trans-Siberian line, from Moscow to Beijin, Alaska, Patagonia and .. Greenland!
I like that kind of exercises. How do you imagine yourself in 10 years? My thoughts are going to the essay I had to write at 13. At 23, I was supposed to be a journalist, writer or something, somewhere in Japan. No husband, no family and one cat because I love cats. I could only see myself siting on a chair by a table, wearing a big flesh-colored jumper. I wasn't so wrong since I am spending most of my time writing by a table. But I'm not a writer or some kind of journalist and I'm pretty sure I will never become so. I'm not in Japan either and actually, Tokyo's airport is the only thing I've seen about Japan. I don't have a husband, not even a boyfriend or a girlfriend. My cat is living 1000 km away from me but I love him anyway. I'm still studying and my parents still pay my rent every month. What a miserable portrait. At 33, I might be a statistician somewhere in a Northern country (Northern Norway? Iceland? Alaska? Northern Sweden? Greenland?). My best friend might be my computer. I don't think I'll have a husband or a child. If I'm lucky, I won't be blind yet and I'll live in a shared house with people interested in travelling or something. Maybe I will write papers about interesting stuff related to epidemiology, biostatistics or signal processing. And maybe I will be the weird and special haunt.
