I didn't go to University straight out of high school. I never planned on going right away anyway, I always knew I needed a break after graduating to figure out what it is that I'd like to do. I always knew I wanted to travel, but had never really thought of where. The nomadic existence appealed to me, but out of high school, I was involved in a serious relationship and invested in finding employment so that was put on hold. Instead, i looked into possible places to travel, things I'd like to see, and by the time I did leave, I had a long list of places to travel to before I die.
Wow, sounds like you already had more excitement and adventure than some people will have in 80 years. The part about moving with your girlfriend straight out of high school scared me though. I've seen many lives ruined like that, it's really sad.
