When I was a junior in college, I went on a blind date with a senior. One of the first get-to-know-you questions I asked my date was what he was planning on doing after graduation. Expecting him to say that he was working at Corporation-X or applying to graduate school, I was surprised to hear him declare with a huge grin, "I'm going to be a ski bum."

As Will ran off to teach skiers on the slopes of Vail (one of whom was Britney Spears), I started working on a guide to unconventional post-college adventures. As I came closer to graduation myself, I heard classmates talk about all of the expected first-jobs, but I was amazed to discover how many of my peers were actually taking non-traditional routes. And I'm not talking about a handful of Peace Corps volunteers. Nowadays, when young people take the anti-cubicle approach, they get creative. And equipped with this cool little book, you can, too.

So if you're not ready to join the entry-level rat race just yet, or you're just plain sick of it, pick up this handy guidebook and read about how exhilarating and fulfilling the twenties can be. And take it from me, "the real world" can wait. Now back from my year in Cuba, I'm so grateful I took time to see a rare corner of the world, do fulfilling work, and think about what I want to do with my life. Not long after returning from Cuba, I got a job working on a political campaign in Florida, organizing the Cuban American community of Little Havana. Now writing a book about Cuba, my career path has been hugely marked by my post-college adventures in the Caribbean.
