Replying to What should I do with my life?

Ok. So I had this amazing idea that I was going to travel around the country doing interviews. I'm 1 month in and it's really fucking hard. I knew it would be hard, but I have way too much work and not enough time scheduled in each location to accomplish what I wanted to accomplish. Lesson learned. I'd like to redo this project either next summer or the following when I have more time/money/someone with me.

I have 3 limitations. The rental car NEEDS to be dropped of in California sometime between now and the end of July. If I'm going to leave the country, my passport is in CA and will take a month to get it renewed since it expires in November. I have a budget of about $500 a week after all of my expenses are covered (this can be adjusted since that's based on me working about 15 to 20 hours a week.

If you could do whatever the hell you pleased on a somewhat limited budget, where would you go/what would you do?



Note: I'm single, self employed (work from my laptop), don't have anywhere I call home, have everything I own less my ski gear with me, I don't own a car (but have a rental for up to 2 months).
