I did need a change. You get to a stage in what you have been doing, whatever that might be, and you know that you have become predictable and a bit same same.
You hit that point where you wonder what you actually have to add to the workplace and then you know that it is time for a change-
and you know it is time for an adventure.
Just what kind of adventure though, can be challenging. Should you go and live on Tioman Island and spend the days baking in the heat? Perhaps a good road trip around Australia? Perhaps an archeological dig in Transylvania? All these and more I investigated, driven by an urge to break loose!
So I went back to the International schools idea- this way I could continue my work with education but do it in a new place, a new culture. I did think that Norway would be pretty good or maybe a little job in Paris?
Five days later and , after looking at Malawi and several other places, I am offered a position in Kuwait. My first response was- OMG, Iraq is just a stone's throw away and Iran is just over the water.
OMGawd, I couldn't go there.
I leave for Kuwait at the end of August for a two year contract! I am excited and I will be challenged beyond whatever I could have imagined. The American Creative Academy decided I would suit them fine and I felt the same!
I write this post as an introduction as I know too little about Kuwait to write much and my life recently has been being fingerprinted, innoculated, tested, xrayed, tracking down all ancient historical documents of what I have done and achieved..... organising the house, the dogs, the garden , the council and all other responsibilities. I am about to leave it all behind and have a world that revolves around my work and me!
So I leave it there
and I will continue just before I leave.
