dream job

if money would be no object and you can do whatever you want, what will you do for the rest of your life?

try asking that question again, and i would answer i'd love to be a writing traveler or vice versa (traveling journo). 

But being a travel blogger or a globetrotter even is exactly what I want. Traveling the world and writing about it or even documenting each journey would be the perfect job for  someone who's always restless but never found the time to do it due to lack of funds and due to my dayjob.

imagine discovering diverse cultures, meeting people of different descents, learning from them, and exploring other places and later on, other countries. ain't this job close to perfect?

we don't always get to choose the job we want. only new grads have this option. at least they can still jump from one company to another. but once you've grown familiar to the people you've work with, comfortable with the working environment you are in, leaving your present job is really really hard. 

that is where you have started. that is the place where you have gained footing as part of a workforce. that's the place where you have grown as a professional. that is the place you call "home" second to your real one, or "family" next to your own.

so what then? 

well, the best job isn't always the one you think it is, or, if it is, you don't always get to do that at the time you want it so bad.

the best job is one that brings out the passion in you, something that doesn't make you feel working at all. after all, everybody gets stressed out at work sometimes.

so, if you don't see yourself doing you dream job anytime soon, at least do not lose sight of it. perhaps the timing isn't so right. maybe you will get to do it much later in life. :)
