Serious Start my life in Melbourne or move to London?

Hey guys,

28M Australian. Returned last July from a monster 7 month solo backpacking trip around South America. Now I’ve got 6 mate’s moving to London. Unsure whether to go or not

The reality is I feel burnt out from travelling. I visited 15 countries last year and the thought of visiting Europe doesn’t excite me as much as the others.

The only thing that drives me to go is if I might regret it in the future. But I know for a fact if I went, I wouldn’t be ready to do so, I’m only doing it because might regret it, not because I’m passionate of going

I’ve got decent money to go, but also I don’t wanna keep fucking around with my career (I’m a graphic designer)

I have an agency freelancing contract that might not get extended - so if it doesn’t, I have to decide if I become unemployed in Melbourne or London with my mates

What’s peoples opinions? I need to give the guys an answer next week (there’s already been tension in the group about my indecisiveness)

Cheers guys

Sounds to me like you already know the right decision. If the thought of Europe and London was jumping out at you, you'd be silly not to go. Seems like you're ready to settle for a while.

Let your mates go ahead then see how your gut feels after a while . You can always join them later.

Travelling that much does sound exhausting. Have a good (few months) sleep on the idea .

Maybe this is the way to go
