24F from the East Coast, in a long-distance relationship with my boyfriend in Turkey (2 years). Currently a senior in university with online classes, graduating in June '24. Recently got a job, but realizing it’s too much commitment. Missed Turkey during a trip to Belgium, reconsidering priorities. Parents kinda upset about leaving the job and Facing conflicting opinions from family, but I have a STRONG personal desire is to be in Turkey or travel. Already have a paid ticket to Turkey in March, feeling the need to make a decision soon.
So far I have zero dollars saved up. Could save an estimate of $3000 - $3500 before I leave.
Also, my best friend wants to travel for a month so their mom decided to pay for their plane ticket if we do a month in Europe together, so Europe cost will be split in the middle for that first month of March.
Bachelors, I took a couple of years off to work as a live in social worker in San Francisco. It was a OK job but decided then and there that it’s not something I actually want to do which sucks but I love to volunteer just working with the group of people I was working in made me realize that I wasn’t really cut out for social work like I thought I was going to be. I don’t really want the YouTuber lifestyle. I think I just want a more calm lifestyle without the bills and definitely without owning a car. I have been doing online classes since my first trip to Turkey two years ago. It’s not hard because it’s flex and I can complete all of my assignments in the first two weeks of the seven weeks.
