What would u do if you had it all?

Let's say you had 3 months starting Octobert 1st when you return from UB Aruba tournament. You had hundreds of thousands in the bank and decided you were going to take at least one semester off from school (not dropping out, taking time off). You wanted to do a lot of traveling. Not to Paris and London etc, but to places you might not go normally. You also wanna add a community service aspect to your trip, and want to make sure you meet other people around the age of 20. This is my situation.

Here are some things I want to do:

Learn to ski in scandenavia / switzerland.
Do community service trip for 2-4 weeks in either Thailand or Brazil (Cross cultural solutions)
Do habitat for humanity trip to New Orleans (1 week, October 1-7)
Go to Israel
Just check out all of Asia - Maybe start with the community service in thailand and spend a month going around to australia, japan, china, etc.

What else would YOU do if you had all this time and had no financial constraints. And do you have any advice for me?

Nothing. I would sit on my ass all day, I would do nothing.

If your primary thrust for travelling to Scandenavia/Switzerland is to learn how to ski, I think you're just wasting your money. As a novice skier, you won't be able to appreciate (or handle really) 5% of the terrain which would make these places any better than a podunk ski area close to you. If, however, you are also going for the culture, then I say go for it.

Everything else on your list since like it would be a good experience.

I would buy some old junk car and restore it. I've wanted to do that for a long time.

I just got back form a 3 month trip to India, and SE Asia (Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos) and spent a hell of a lot less than you have... If you want to meet lots of 20 yr old people and have an awesome time, there is nothing better than this.

Also, learning to ski is simply a matter of getting off your ass and booking yourself a week long course. UCPA is one of the best organisations for arranging this, and they take complete beginners.

Im going to scandenavia/switzerland so that I can get an international setting with more interesting culture than say Vermont. Also, I just want to be in a foreign place for whatever reason. For the skiing does anyone have any good places that are good to learn to ski and have a young population?

I'd go on a "poker retreat", basically not leaving my home for a year while devoting 70% of my waking hours to improving my game. The other 30% would be studying finance/investments. I'd come up with somewhere between a 2 and 10 year plan to have ample investment income (supplied initially by poker winnings) and take the rest of my life off doing whatever appealed to me then. Every dollar you blow in your twenties could have been hundreds or thousands of dollars in later years when you could have made wiser use of the funds.

I wouldn't have even considered that in my 20's tho. 20/20 hindsight :|
