When they came back I was surprise she managed to get a job again in the same county. Usually city/county jobs are hard to get but I guess she may have left a really good impression. Based on their Facebook photos during their travels they were enjoying themselves and weren't really skimping by. Another set of friends did the same last year but focused only around the Asian countries. I think they're back now and doing a cross-country road trip in the U.S. Not sure what their plans are after they're done and need to make a living again. Me personally would not have the drive to do such a trip and finance is not something I like to pry into. I can only guess they made some really good money before their trip as the friend that went around the world owned a house with her husband while the latter owned a condo with her boyfriend. Though for all I know they may have had mortgage on them still. Interesting enough I have read of travelers begging or selling knick knacks in other countries to stay afloat and keep themselves going. Kinda puts a black mark on other travelers in my opinion. --- "You must gather your party before venturing forth" "Go for the eyes Boo! Go for the eyes!" ... Copied to Clipboard! |
