What's next? Thoughts, ramblings, experiences!

Bali bound tomorrow.  I can hardly contain myself.  My flight leaves tomorrow at 830 which means I have to leave here around 530, but I'm up writing this blog.  

I had a lot of time to think today and after talking to a lot of fellow travelers I've made up my mind on a few things.  First of all, every single person I talk to says 'go to new Zealand' including one of my best friends who is constantly telling me what to do (I mean this is a good way Diane).  Anyways, I met this awesome American couple who were in their early 60s maybe and they were from Montana.  Who would think that I meet such awesome people from there.  They were on my night bus last night and I throughly enjoyed speaking to them.  They have been everywhere I swear!  And now they are leaving Myanmar tomorrow as well and going to Bhutan!  So awesome that these two retired individuals can enjoy life and travel!  I only hope that I find a soul mate who wishes to do that same one day!  Anyways, amongst our many discussions about travel I discovered they have lived in Africa, New Zealand, and a few other places.  They have taken their children when they were small all over the South Pacific and to some really remote islands.  How awesome?!!!  Long story now shorter, they begged me to go to New Zealand and work.  Seriously were like 'you would be foolish not to go'.  They have been there over 10 times and love it!  Wow who goes to New Zealand 10 times?  It's so far away.  Must be good!  Then today I met a German girl who is going to NZ to work!  Actually her next stop is there!  Ironic?  I think something is telling me something,  

Then I met another girl in my hostel from France who is going to India to do her yoga teacher training course in March. Seriously are all these coincidences happening to me in the last 24 hours?  She gave me the name of the place in Kerala India and it looks really good on paper.  I wanna keep in touch with her to get her reactions on this yoga shala.

So there's my thinking wrapped up into what is next?  And then there's my love for singapore!!  I'm always thinking ahead in fact I'm always anxious and actually quite impatient.  Although I'm having a wonderful time traveling I do often think about what it would be like to not be living out of a backpack?  For those of you with a closet, feel lucky right now!  

I booked a really nice guest house in ubud for nights 3-17.  I got an amazing deal through Expedia.  They have free bikes so I can bike to yoga and there is a pool and it's very secluded.  I'm stoked!  Can't wait to get there and get my yogi groove on!  I'm also considering avoiding Facebook for a week.  See what it's like?  Really get my zen on?  I don't know if I've ever gone one week let alone 24 hours without Facebook but I'm hoping to give it a try.  Wish me luck and more when I arrive in Bali !
