Until one day, I fou...I have SO been in your place. Until one day, I found myself saying "We won't" in response to my boss's question, "How are we going to work together?"<BR/><BR/>Keep doing what you're doing: writing your blogs, making connections, building a portfolio. You're on the way. <BR/><BR/>And by the way, I'd forgotten the name of your blog and had to look it up on Matador. I thought it was Manatee Madness. Boy, was I wrong!

But you're right: if it's something...It's not easy! But you're right: if it's something you really want, you find a way to make it happen. One of the things that helped me was to start out with a huge list of everything I could think of that I would need to do to make our trip happen. I then prioritized and started tackling the most important things, a little at a time. Just work your way through the list, and realize that a lot of stuff that you put on it won't actually be as important as it seems now or won't have to be worked out to a really exact level of detail before you go. You'll probably spend most of your time working or planning, but give yourself a break every now and then so you don't get burnt out. You should find some joy in the planning. Good luck! And congrats for making the decision to go for it.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00318735591935931977noreply@blogger.com
