I´m leaving in 3 days. A little nervous since it´s my first trip of this kind that I do on my own and I´ve read a lot of positive things but also negative. Like the possibility of being robbed, the people try to suck out all the money from the tourists and so on... It´s not that I´m worried about it but there must be some truth to it, or...?
Anyway, I´ve come in contact with a girl who is going to pick me up at the airport and I´m going to stay at her house on the first night whick feels really good. I´m sooooo excited about going!
On the way there I´m going to spend a day in one of the world´s most boring cities - Doha, Qatar. At least, that´s what people say. I´m sure it will be interesting though.

I managed to find a flight at a good rate! Leaving Stockholm on Jan 4th and coming back one month later. I don´t know that many people who has been to the Philippines but from what I´ve heard it´s one of the most beautiful places in the world! I can´t wait... Since i was in French Polynesia almost 2 years ago, I´ve been wanting to take a diving certificate and that dream is finally going to come true! Life is good! =)

I had decided that this was the weekend when I was going to book my trip. I looked at the flight at a friend´s house yesterday and the price was similar to what it had been for the last few weeks. Today, 2000 SEK more... I´m going to wait for a couple of days and see what happens. I will book it anyway but it is just SO annoying. So what have I learned from this? Don´t wait so long if you know what you want. Why do I always do that?

In January, I hope I will be able to go to the Philippines for 4-5 weeks. It all kind of depends on my job. There is a big change of systems going on and I have a big part in this. I wish I could just pack my bags and go. A few years ago, before i got a "serious" job, I would have. It always seems to be something stopping me, I know that it´s only in my mind and I hope travelling for a few weeks on my own will miraculously "change" me. Except for a few days in Budapest and a couple of days in Sydney, I have always had someone with me. My dream is to move somewhere warm and run my own B&B.
I can just wait and hope for the best...
