And if it fails, I have a trout tonne of homebrewed booze to drink myself to death with.

This is why my plan to be forever just poor enough is genius. As long as I can manage my own supply chain so I don't have to worry about starving, I don't need to win the lottery!

Dunno why, but I find the mental image of a lil bebe earthquake very cute.

If God wanted you to win the lottery, you would have found a ticket by now.

Hell, maybe you did and I didn't recognise it!

Pshaw, just roll it into the student debt. What's another couple thou?

No time like the present!

100,000%. I love getting to figure out new cultures, and architecture, food, and language all paint the picture.

I'm honestly shocked I never got caught in any shenanigans when I was in NZ! I was there for three months, and no earthquakes or catastrophes

yo you wanna go paris next year? I'm gonna have to head across Europe way around Augustish anyway, and it's much less work for me than having to fly all the way to feckin' NZ xD

Bahahaha I love it! Gotta use that PhD for something, eh? I am very glad I did the TEFL thing early on.

Man, I love me some nice architecture. I'll have to get Chiang Mai in; it was in deliberation when I went to Thailand, but I wanted island holiday.

A dust storm in Pompeii... or a volcanooooo?!

It's very vogue to say you don't like Paris, but any time people are questioned about it they give wanky, meaningless answers, like "it's overrated". xD I fully cities almost universally, but I like Paris. It's a wonderful city and a wonderful place. Tourists etc. are all annoying, but that's true everywhere. I lived there for half a year and it was great.

UGH! YOUR LIST IS SO GOOD!

I never went to Chiang Mai, but I absolutely loved Thailand. I was in Koh Tao for three weeks and it was just amazing. I've not done much of the Mediterranean beyond south of France, but Pompeii sounds dope. I also need to visit Athens at some point.

I love Paris, too. It's a wonderful city, particularly in August when all the Parisians leave xD

I'd love to do an all-expenses stay somewhere beautiful one day. Might do something Caribbeaney or Colombiaey once COVID is a memory.

Ooh, what are the other 4 places?

I'm a big old cheapo, and I've had some absolute nightmare hostel experiences as a result. xD

NZ was mostly good, though. I've never been to Vietnam, though!

When I eventually make it back to NZ in 2027 or whatever, I'll chef for you in exchange for not having to rent out a hostel room xD

Although Wellington hostels were actually pretty nice, to be fair. Definitely among the best I had.
