Employed...sort of

It looks like my days of being unemployed are numbered. That (along with the fact that I've moved into an apartment that is literally a stone's throw from a beautiful beach) is the good news. The less good news is that I'll probably be working at two or three places simultaneously in order to work at least five days per week. Several dive boats have expressed interest in hiring me as a weekend divemaster, which, in conjuction with scrubbing boat hulls in the harbor (while on scuba), should keep me busy for 3 to 4 days per week. Now I need to find work for a couple more days during the week. It's possible that I'll find deckhand jobs on some of the whale watching boats to fill that time, which would effectively keep me at or in the sea nearly every day of the week. The possibility of being water-logged for the next five months is a distinct one!
I say "five months" because I have just purchased my flights to Germany for the wedding next summer! It's going to be an incredible trip, between experiencing the marriage of Matthias and Melli, and the promise of travelling with Aaron (a good from from Australia, the first time around) down through Austria to Slovenia and Croatia afterwards. Both Slovenia and Croatia are countries that I've been wanting to explore, but I am also using this trip as an opportunity to find out about the possibility of living and working in both. I'm still strongly considering becoming certified to teach english as a foreign language, and these two are countries that I'm interested in considering.
And so, as I remarked to Matthias on the phone today, it looks like my days of scheming, travelling, and adventuring are far from over. I actually look forward to the day I can settle somewhere with the intention of staying for more than 6 months, but I'm hoping there'll be time for that later. For now though, I can't imagine being any better suited for this aloof lifestyle I've crafted for myself. It's nice to have some good company along the way, though.
