trying to figure out whether he was about to move 10,000 miles away to Australia, leaving his
home girlfriend, family, friends job and whole life behind or not. The opportunity to move at
suddenly come up when his best friend Novak decided he would be moving to Australia with his
girlfriend.
And he's 27 Novak was facing a sort of quarterlife crisis and wanting to try and start something
new and venture out into the world. While he still felt new himself. Moving to Australia had been
both Novak and crows dream ever since they were children and their families vacation there.
They both felt a weird natural connection with the colors, architecture, people and feeling of the
country. They visited again several times after throughout their teens and early 20s. On one of
their trips when they were 15, Carl and Novak agreed that they would move there when they
were older that and they would start a business together.
This would remain their dream ever since. As they grew older, though, like most dreams, it
began to take a backseat to reality. Carl went to college for accounting in his hometown of
Boston and got a job through a professor right after school that he couldn't turn down. Novak
had a family member in a tech startup company in Boston, and as a result, he was given an
opportunity to work for the company. However, after four years of Novak working for the
company, it was suddenly acquired and he was out of a job.
