It’s been nearly 2 months since I finished my last job contract and it’s been quite a shock how quickly time has shifted. I’ve managed a lot of ground work in that time, yet I know that it isn’t quite as much as I wanted to get done due to other dependancies which quite frankly have been beyond my control due to other dependancies… Grrr.
June itself is just a short week away afterall and by then it will officially be summer. From there, it’s just a short 3 months till I’ll hopefully be back in 香港 (Hong Kong). What will be keeping me employed so that I won’t live on the streets are still unclear as yet… Teaching English is all fine and dandy if I get accepted to the TEFL course for which I’ve still yet to be interviewed for and that smallish task of actually passing it once on it! Web Technologies freelancer seems another viable path, though the ground work I’ve laid down so far still needs building upon and is something that will take time. Patience is Virtue!
Between now and then though, I’d love to do some more travelling, if only to clear my mind and perhaps have a divine moment of inspiration… The Baltics springs to mind again with Latvia and Estonia looking most appealing. Other than that, European Russia, say somewhere like Санкт-Петербург (Saint Petersburg) would be fantastic. Alternatively, I could head the otherway as I’d love to visit Greenland and Iceland. Which ever way I do go though, the final big jump will be to the other side of the globe to Australia and visit Nykky sometime in mid-July for 2 or 3 weeks.
Just a pity I can’t figure out my niché subject (as yet) so as to make a comfortable living as a professional blogger… :P
A sigh… Big changes behind you. Even bigger ahead of you… I just hope things will go your way. Either with traveling to whichever direction you choose or with finding work in Hong Kong… Listening to you I am partially relieved I have stayed at my work and partially envious of you that you will go out in the wide world… Oh, I do sound like a clichee… Never mind me… ;-)))

Well actually, you’ve been doing a fair bit of travelling and so on outside your normal work… there’s really not that much difference in it all.
Staying in the “Comfort Zone” isn’t something that’s been the way I want to do things. Guess I just like diving into the deep end!

“Comfort zone” you say? That’s me! That is so me. If I only could I’d stay there forever… Though I’d like to have a decent fight with some raised voices and shed tears. Would really like to get my blood cooking and let it out… But other than that… Comfort zone! Am afraid of deep waters. Even the Latvian rivers are too deep for my liking… ;-))

Latvian rivers are frozen for a good few months of the year anyway!
