Australia or Abroad?

I have found with the approach of my departure date from Canada I am questioning returning to Oz. Not because I do not want to go home... I mean I miss family, I miss friends, I miss the sun, I miss Oz.

I love my country with everything in me, and there is no doubt in my mind that I want to settle there at some stage in my life.

My dilemma is whether I should go back now for a short while to do my masters, or whether I should stay abroad and experience more before I go back.... its almost easier to stay abroad while I away, and think about returning at a later stage.

There is so much I would like to see, so much I would like to do.....

I think its obvious....I need some deep thinking time.

Am at the same point in my life Mazzy and I know the answer is different for everyone. I have decided to stay abroad but promised myself I will go home more often. 18 months is too long and I miss everything you do there !!!

Life is a big adventure, should not be scary - follow the heart. You only live once.

Dearest Jen and Mazz,
I am feeling the same way too and can give you my own perspective! I did have a year abroad like you two, but I took a different path! I wanted to come back to Malta for a few months mainly because of my Masters Thesis. I totally agree with Jen! There is a whole world to see out there! There is so much to do, so much to learn and luckily enough we are still young! On the other hand we have our own strong roots in Australia in your case and Malta in mine... but as Jen said we can always go back "frequently". At the moment I am trying to match myself somewhere! Being home is really cool... get to see my mom all the time and my brother... but still its not the same! I don't want to settle here for now... Malta is too small.. its lovely but small! Mazz.. think about it..... see what exactly you want to achieve in life! Maybe you have other priorities!

take care babe!
cannot wait to see you again somewhere, somehow!
Maria
