“We traveled the western part of the U.S. We went to a dozen different cities there. We went to Mexico and the Philippines.”
Her job also took her to Taiwan, Sweden and Denmark. After more than a year of traveling, she was not sure what to do.
“So I went back to New Jersey and I moved in with my parents for about nine months.”
Eventually, one of Cheryssa’s friends invited her to share an apartment in Washington. Cheryssa found a job at another nonprofit group and made new friends. She had a great life, she says. But she was not ready to settle down.
“Something was nagging at me, saying, ‘What else, what else can you do, what else can you do while you’re young?’”
So Cheryssa and a friend moved to Denver, Colorado, near the Rocky Mountains in the western United States. After almost a year, they decided they wanted to live closer to the ocean. So they moved across the country again, this time to Florida.
Now she is back in Washington. She is looking for a job and living temporarily with friends. She is not sure yet how long she will stay.
“Eventually I would like to have a family, and a more stable professional job long-term, but I don’t know, it’s really hard when there’s so many opportunities, there’s so much out there in the world to see and to experience.”
Cheryssa says all her exploring has helped her to understand herself better and to know what makes her happy.
