Summer & Beyond

I have been in the United States for only a few days. There are numerous things that I have had to become adjusted to, such as-sleep. I never thought jetlag would happen to me, but my body does not know when to sleep and when not to sleep. My diet has changed slightly- since I am home its so much easier to eat even healthier than before. I have started some sprouts, and I am eating heaps more fermented foods and greens. My body usually LOVES these things, but at the moment I have to take it slowly. Today I was finally able to get my luggage and unpack. I have heaps of laundry I need to do and half my stuff is stained, ripped, and/or moldy, so I probably should part with most of it.

Although I am hardly settled, I am already pondering the question of what is next to come. Many people keep asking me if I am staying or going, and honestly, I am not sure.

I have numerous options:

1) Stay in OC, get a summer job here—already have had two separate job offers.

2) Work at Yosemite for the summer

3) Hang out a few more weeks in the OC and then head to MS to work for the summer.

4) Find money for a flight to Costa Rica—and start work there.

I have also been offered a spot as a guest teacher at a yoga school in Ohio.

Decisions, decisions. Story of my life.

Other things I am brooding on, for the next several months are:

1) I have seen so much of the world, yet there are a few places in my own country I have yet to see: The White House, Niagara Falls, I would really love to visit friends in: Birmingham, Nashville, Salt Lake City, Denver, Asheville, Charleston, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. I am thinking about hitching across the country and making stops in each of these locations. If I hitch, couchsurf and stay with friends it should cost me nearly zilch. I could just make a whole heap of muesli before I go and stock up on dried goods and hit the road! I am hoping to make this happen sometime in July.

2) Vancouver, Canada—I need to squeeze it in sometime this summer/autumn.

3) Central and/or South America: I have numerous job offers all throughout Central America. I am hoping to spend 5-6 months teaching yoga and reiki throughout the area. I would also like to meet up with friends in Mexico and South America. I am hoping to be in Latin America by the latest end of August.

4) Egypt, Israel and Jordan. I really really want to visit these three countries. Maybe early next year?
