I came back from my travels in 2015 in time for the holidays. My plan was to stay until around March 2016 and then head to Europe. During that time I would look for a part-time job to build up funds and have something to do during the day. God likely smiled knowing how far off I was on this.
About a week after getting back, I got a call asking me if I would be interested in a job doing what I did before I had sett off to travel. With my plans to stay in the area for a while and an immediate need I could help with, I committed to the five months until I left for Europe in March. It was only after a day or two that I realized how much I loved the environment and what I was doing. I knew I would enjoy those five months more than expected. And that I did.
It may have been a month later that I committed to staying for two years. I was enjoying it! And I could always travel later. I could offer a lot and I knew it would be a huge growth situation for me. And the unplanned financial boost would be very helpful as well.
As unexpected as me staying on for two years was, I would have never imagined that I would end up being there over seven years. But that's what happened. And I loved it. It has been my favorite job ever and the one with the most personal and professional growth. I don't regret the decision to stay at all. But I am constantly flabbergasted that it has been seven years. It doesn't feel like it at all.
But now it's time to head out again. I feel like it is time for someone with new ideas and energy to come in and take over where I left off. I'm returning to my plans to explore Europe.
