What would you do if you could be 18 years old again?

Take my uncles offer up to move to Australia. His brother was high up in the Australian Government and was very happy to sponsor me. Idiot,:headbanger: idiot,:headbanger: idiot. :headbanger:

IF it were now I would locate the people I admired the most, and could provide a strong mentorship, and find a way to move near them regardless of country/climate. The people I would like to emulate. I would look at ways I could provide value to them so that I could gain knowledge and experience from them. At 18 I'd be happy to work for nothing and sleep rough.
