2012: What do I do now?

In the last week I have returned home to Australia and my life has taken an unexpected turn. Subsequently most of my future plans have a giant question mark over them and I am now faced with endless possibilities.

Every situation you find yourself in can either be positive or negative dependant on your perspective. It's a tempting safe and easy option to decide to stay in bed for a week (or a month) or blame everyone else, but that's not me. Some of my strongest qualities (in my opinion) is my unwavering naive optimism and my stubborn determination. Unfortunately, this coupled with a innate trust in my fellow man that often leaves me with deep scars, but better to trust and be hurt than to not trust anyone.. Theoretically.

So here I am.
I am young and healthy with cash in the bank, no where to be and no one to answer too. It is a difficult but enviable situation to be in.
I appreciate how lucky I am to be in this privileged situation where I have choices, BUT.... What do I do next? Where do I go? What will happen to me? Will I be OK? Am I able to deal with whatever comes my way?
My choices and options are only limited by my imagination, capabilities and guts to see it through, which (fingers crossed) isn't much of a limit.

Here are a few of my thoughts and options, feel free to vote.

• Work in the Northern Rivers as a reliability engineer and live at the beach
• Move back to Newcastle to work
• Become a full time uni student at Tweed Heads
• Migrate to Canada with a 2 year visa and go skiing everyday
• Sign up for Medecins Sans Frontieres and go work in a war zone for a year
• Become a maintenance consultant in Sydney
• Buy a van and travel around Aus
• Go work in the middle of nowhere (mining towns) earning big bucks
• Work with indigenous communities in rural Australia
• Save up a house deposit and buy a house to renovate
• Join the Army (combat engineer)
• Work as a farm hand sheering sheep
• Fall in love with the next guy who asks me out (probable)
• Become a lesbian hippy in a commune in Byron Bay
• Become a monk/nun and move to Asia
• Walk/hitch from the East coast of Aus to the West coast
• Go back to Nepal and live in the hills
• Pack my backpack and hop back on a plane

When I look at my options I'm overwhelmed. I can't help but want to go back to the original plan, the only one that is unavailable. My life so far has been sculptured by random off the cuff suggestions combined with a hint of opportunity and I have no doubt that the next steps will be by this method also. I just have no idea what that may be...
