I am part of an international community! This revelation comes after my trip to Dubai, where I went to visit some mates and to compare notes on life (more on the trip later – suffice to say that I love Dubai!) I find that I have this unique perspective on life – that I have taken a step away from what was expected of me (by myself, my friends, my family) and am now looking at things from a completely new and different view point. If I am being a bit wishy-washy, it’s because I am nervous to admit that I am looking at nesting options (ie. one day where do I want to settle down) – and South Africa isn’t the only option any more. The more I think about it, the more I think that for me it may not be the best option either. So, in an attempt to sort out my own mind, here is a list of my options:
- South Africa – I would truly love to nest in SA, but at this particular moment in time the country has got me a little rattled (crime is not something I want to have to get used to again)
- England – good work opportunities, and family will always be around. But oh boy, that weather could make me suicidal!
- Dubai – a very cool life, but not sure if it is family oriented. Maybe for a couple of years, but don’t think it could ever be home.
- Australia – hey, why not? I have never been there, it sounds cool (beaches and sunshine) – and it seems to be a favourite place for SAfrican’s to emigrate to – can’t be that bad! But, no family around – for miles…
Hmm, decisions decisions… I was complaining to Luke on the flight on the way home last night that I am so big and grown-up. But it’s actually quite fun to be able to look at life and have these options to choose from. How on earth can I complain?
