So it takes a Week

For me to get back into shape and come up with a new plan. I can't bear being here any longer, I hurt too much. So next week is a big interview and if I don't get the job in Zurich, I shall throw my hands up in the air and admit defeat to this European lag of the journey. I will go travelling with an europass, since the weather is turning brilliant, and will wear my trusty travelling coat, the first one I got three years ago and the very same that I intend to wear.

I have approximately £5000 , and so £2000 of that will be put aside for plan B, where I go back to Canada, grab a job. Which is rather generous considering I started out there with SG 1500. I kid you not. Without bumming at chun's for awhile, I would never have made it.

Sigh. I wouldn't do it again. We all grow more scared with age. I am a lot wiser when it comes to work permits now as well, so it won't be easy but neither will it be impossible.

Breakdown of Costs to travel Europe extensively.

6 Weeks
Hostel Accomodation : High estimate of 15 a night, 42x15 = 630
Europass 374
Food : High Estimate of 20 a day, 42x20 = 840
Daily Transport : High Estimate of 15 a day, 42 x 15 = 630
Boozing : 20 quid a week on a bottle of whisky = 120

Looks about right. £2600 approximately, if I choose to eat very well and take cabs. That is also a maximum initiary. I assume 22 days will not be enough to heal this sore soul of mine, but if it is, take 2600/2 = 1300 which leaves plenty for muck-ups and skullduggery.

The lovely thing is that I can always come back to the UK within 2 years of Sept last year. Maybe it takes practice.


Lets hope I get the job. I can't keep travelling whenever my heart gets broken.
