Free time or work time?

Over the last year, I have enjoyed traveling around the world to destinations I would have never thought possible being a small town boy from Colorado. However, recently I have been thinking about my career and what I should to work towards my future. I love traveling and experiencing new cultures and especially the food.

But, I know I need to concentrate on tomorrow and not only live for today. Thus, I have decided to take a short break from travel and pursue a career that will help me in my future. I have been living in Japan now for about 12 years and I have become bored with my daily hell. I think now is the time for me to experience something new.

I have been offered a new job working for a hotel company that is going to expand to the overseas market. I know this is good oppoturnity for my future but I will no longer be able to enjoy my time traveling or spending it with friends. I guess.. there is a point in everyone`s life when we need to figure out what is important.... time or money?
