Robert IndriesParticipantHello Cassiopeia and welcome to the community!
I know the exact same feeling! I find it amazing how some people can just “follow the heard” and ignore their passions and curiosities.
I have been blessed to travel between continents at the age of 19. My opinion? It was an amazing experience!
Do you know what the best part was? I was payed for it! And I’m sure you can do the same!
Basically, I went for a 3 month internship in the middle of Asia, just slightly North of Mongolia. I found the job through AIESEC’s platform.
If you never heard of them, they are an international non-profit with the goal of helping young people (like you and me) to “discover themselves” both personally and professionally.
My personal suggestion is to look into either AIESEC or something similar, so that you can travel to wherever you want AND make money for your studies at the same time!
If you would like more details or think that I could help with anything else, feel free to send me a question at robert@wesrom.com.
I really hope this helps and that you find a way to achieve your goals!
Creating a better tomorrow,
RobertP.S.: Unrealistic? Would you rather live a life of regret? Mistake? I think it would be a mistake to NOT follow your dreams! 🙂

For several decades now the world has grown to become evermore fast-paced and borderless. Things change very, very fast and for those that find refuge in certainty, the world can feel like a very demanding place.
One thing is for certain: Feeling bad for your situation is not going to serve you in any way, other than maybe push you to search for answers, as you are now.
As Scott Hamilton said: The only disability in life is a bad attitude.
What I personally think is that you should try to better understand yourself and then “mold your world” around who you are and allow yourself to addapt to things that may be out of your control.
Lori (TinyBuddha) has many amazing articles and books (http://tinybuddha.com/tiny-wisdom-ebook-series/) that can help you simplify (or get the hang of) of not only your outer world (ambience, relationships, changes, etc.), but also your thoughts.
If you think it would help, I would gladly keep in touch with you and help in any way I can. You can send me an email at robert@wesrom.com whenever you wish.
We are stronger whan we allow ourselves to believe. The new town, the new job, the new whatever, is just that: whatever. In the long run, none of those will matter. What matters is that you find something to live for, to strive for.
If the first thing that pops up in your mind when you wake up is “Why me?” or any other negative thought, then that state in which you put yourself will “contaminate” you entire day. (if you let it)
I’ve already decided what I’m commited to (http://wesrom.com/my-personal-new-years-eve/) and you can do the same. If you find something that motivates and exites you enough, then life’s challenges will seem just a natural step to getting wherever you want to go.
I hope that I was of service to you today and wish you the strenght to adapt to and enjoy life.
Creating a better tomorrow,

I may not be the best person to help you, but I might know someone who can!
Susan Cain: http://www.ted.com/talks/susan_cain_the_power_of_introverts?language=en
She is an introvert that has much to say about both how to accept yourself and how to adapt in “a World that can’t stop talking,” as she calls it.
Her work might prove useful to you, as it is for tens of millions of other introverts.
Hope this helps! Have a wonderful day!
Creating a better tomorrow,
Robert -
