Go and travel mate at your age with no ties its a no Briana.
If you come back to the UK start again.
I had a mate in the Print who went travelling in 1990, he got fed up with print, met his wife in OZ married in OZ
had his three kids in OZ came back to the UK in 2OOO hated it went back to OZ set up a business with his wife
selling property and all lived happily ever after.......get the picture go mate.
I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

Hi james
I think you have a good round from what i have read in the past,ok if you want to go off find yourself travel a bit get wrecked and enjoy life.respect to you enjoy.

But try to plan it in a way that when you come back you have a business.
Be it rent it,employ some friend to run it etc untill you return.
If its money u need to go,save it up 1st.
Trust me mate you be glad u hang on to it  after you get back  ;D
Cheers cliff


Hi Cliff. Yeah I have built up a very good compact round, which I would be sad to let go.

I enjoyed building the business, so having to do it again wouldnt be a chore I dont (providing money is kept back to support yourself)

Im gonna spend today coming up with a figure for my business, whilst my employee is out working  :D

(the fact that im hungover has played a part in todays decision also)  :D

Hi James
I have started up 4 times now it's not as bad as you think.
In fact I think it gets easier in some ways 'cos you have experience and mistakes and lessons learned.
I went on holiday to Ireland when I was 29 fell in love with the place - put a deposit on a rental house and we were back within the month everything sold up!
Never regretted it.
I am on my forty something postal address now and loads of the lads I went to school with are in the same town, still at the same jobs.
Not knocking them if they're happy but most have regretted not taking the plunge and the risk of doing something different than the old formula of steady job, mortgage, kids.

I personally wouldn't hang on to it.
I rented a house out when I lived abroad and it was a pain.

do something different where you are, get a new hobby/missus, the grass isn't always greener, be a shame to go half way round the world to find in the end, it's just as boring over there as here

The 'shame' would be in not finding out for yourself.

Cala D'or was Maspalomas wasn't it? looked like a 20 foot high wall all round it??

I actually lived In San Agustin.... must pop back sometime and see how it has changed...
