I’m in Victoria for the weekend, escaping the heat wave that’s been gripping Vancouver. To elaborate, it’s typically well above 30 these days, approaching 40 if you factor in humidity. To add to this, residences in Vancouver don’t have air conditioning as it is not usually this hot during the summer. 25 degrees is usually a really hot day for Vancouverites.
So it’s been pretty brutal. So here I sit in a hotel room in Victoria, enjoying the city’s milder weather, air conditioning, and a lack of roommates.
It’s dawned on me. I don’t want to travel a bit right after my undergrad and graduate studies (currently planning on France next year, then a year of service in Africa after my Master’s), then have that it be it for my major travels, settle down with a job and a condo…
I want to work a few years, then pack a few bags and travel somewhere for a year. Come back to a new city in Canada (or the US), work for a few years, then do it again.
Of course I’m already thinking about the places I would like to go.
