"Increase and widen your desires till nothing but reality can fulfill them. It is not desired that is wrong, but its narrowness and smallness. Desire is devotion. By all means be devoted to the real, the infinite, the eternal heart of being. Transform desire into love. All you want is to be happy. All your desires, whatever they may be are expressions of your longing for happiness."
~SRI Nisargadatta Maharaj

What if you are not sure of what you want to do next? You have saved some money, and you want to travel and circle back to your studies in a year. People do that, and there is one person in particular that I enjoy reading about "Backpacking Europe." Matt writes the Nomadic Matt blog, and he has valuable tips on how to afford travel and steps for this type of adventure and education through travel.
