Pretty spot on actually. I'm 23, but I didn't do the straight high school - uni - workforce thing. Did one year of uni (fine arts) hated it, quit after first year and ****ed off to NZ for 7 months. Came back home and worked my ass off, saved a bunch of money then went to SE Asia to volunteer/travel for 4 months. Then went back to uni (photojournalism) and after 2 years graduated (including a month internship in Cameroon as a documentary photographer/videographer for and NGO) and then came to Turkey over a year ago to travel, ended up bartending, and somehow now I'm an English Teacher. So I guess this would be the "finding myself" stage, although by this point I've pretty much "found myself" and have a pretty good idea of where I'm going and what I'm doing now.

Thailand is one of my favorite countries...I've been all over that place. Krabi, Bangkok, Phuket...all amazing places. I did some scuba diving there myself. Did you go to Phi Phi Island?

Sorry for the thread diversion, guys...
