Hello 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,
Robert

P.S.: Unrealistic? Would you rather live a life of regret? Mistake? I think it would be a mistake to NOT follow your dreams! 🙂
