"Doing nothing"When I was In South America I thought that If I move to Europe everything would be better. After spending a few years in Europe I was still feeling empty inside so I thought well, maybe If I move to Asia everything will be better there. Few years in Asia went by and nothing had really changed So I thought ok, once I go to Australia THEN I could find peace and happiness. After a year…
