Hey! Thanks for your reply!
I have actually already been to New York (and London too btw) and you are right, it can be a bit much. And maybe that is why I hesitate to go now while I’m starting to feel a bit tired.
So I have made up my mind and I’m going to Montréal instead. I haven’t been there yet and I’m actually quite excited about going, which is really all that matters in this case. (And London will be after that, and will most likely be my last station before I go home.)
I feel much better now that I’ve made up my mind. And I don’t think I’ll regret not going to New York. Perhaps I will at some point regret not going to Costa Rica, but I know that right now that wouldn’t be a good move for me. Especially since I wouldn’t be doing the voluntary work that I thought I might do there.
So it does look like I’ll end these travels a fair bit sooner than I had planned. But I still think that 5 months of travelling on my own is pretty impressive for me. So no regrets there really. (I have to say though that I do more or less regret having bought that round-the-world ticket. I would not do that again for the simple reason that you can’t possibly know how you’ll feel and what you’ll want to do while travelling before you’ve even started. But of course I didn’t realise that when I bought the ticket. But I wouldn’t advice purchasing that to anyone.)
And now I’ll have to go shopping tomorrow because I have very little warm clothes and I suspect it will be fairly cold in Montréal. I think it will be a nice change, but please don’t use that against me when I complain about being cold in a week or so.
