Ok! Here's what happened: I found WorkAway. I was in Trefor, Wales for a bit supposedly being a gardener, but actually being a maid. Then I found a Hare Krishna farm in Belgium that needed help with their cows and I stayed there for a while. THEN I realized I had JUST enough money to return to the US if I chose to. I debated about this long and hard, because the lease on my apartment in New Orleans was running out but I wouldn't have enough money to go to nola and back to NY, and I had a place to stay in NY but no where definite in nola and where would I place my stuff anyway? And how would I feed myself?
I contacted my parents for the first time in nearly a year and the gulf between us was too big to cross.
I ran to my people in Cardiff. A mistake. I knew they had their own crises, but I was blinded by the concern evident in their actions. It didn't work out so well; two people in major distress shouldn't stay in the same house. Before we parted I had decided to buy my plane ticket back. I clicked "confirm" on bravofly's website feeling safe in my assumption I'd be in NYC two days later.
...bravofly fucked up and the ticket was not purchased. I got into a ridiculous fight with my partner-in-distress.
I ran off to Bath with a girl I randomly met, and from there we went to Stonehenge. I went on to London by myself and crashed at a new friend's place for a week.
I got a ride to Krakow, Poland from carpooling.co.uk. It took over 24 hours. I stayed in Krakow for one day while it stormed and I wandered aimlessly.
I travelled to Zakopane to begin my work in a hostel here. I've been using mturk to make small amounts of money during my shifts at reception: so far I have made $85 USD.
...I have about $300 USD to my name.
Next month I'll be working in a hostel in Budapest.
And then what? I don't know.
