The world is a pool of options

in #travel6 years ago (edited)

As you guys know I am travelling a lot at the moment. Leaving the Caribbean life, to visit family in Holland, to take extra German classes in Berlin, to get a job in Switzerland.

Yeah, the last couple weeks have been very diverse I must say ;)

Of course they are not always as easy as everybody always thinks, but in the end it is quite okay actually. A lot of people who are digitally nomadding do the same, and they are perfectly fine with that being on the road always.

I am not like that, I like to be homebased at SOME location, it does not matter to me where that location is, but I just like having a stable place to go home to.

Stuff

Also I dont give a crap about stuff, I moved with just two suitcases with mostly clothes inside there. Furniture or thingies inside the house are not really my main focus of attention. They have never been actually, even when I had actually bought a house back in the days (god I sound old now).

I dont attach to things, I attach to people and places. Because I can see the good and the bad from where I lived all so clear now in retrospect

Back to the now!

Not to shabby working near this place right?

Im in Switzerland this week applying for three different jobs! Im located in a central location and drive to my potential employers every day. I am extremely tired in the nights from talking in a new language the whole day, and of presenting yourself. It is super fun though.

What also is fun is that I already seem to know a lot of people who also live in this country from previous jobs and I was totally not aware of that. For some reason this helps mentally, I dont exactly know why. A fake feeling of security perhaps?

Success is there!

I am already hired in one place that I really like actually, so that will make the other interviews easier. They will really have to bring their A-game for something better, to make me chance my mind.

And that is a good feeling. So today I can sit back and relax a little, maybe go for a drive up the mountain, or whatever.

Maybe I will just do nothing and chill with this background view all day. I dont know yet. Yeah that is indeed snow on top of the mountains there, I havent seen snow in 4 years. I can watch this all day :)

The world is a pool of options!

Proud member of the SMG. Do you want to apply as well? Give it a shot on Discord

Sort:  

that doesnt look bad at all :)

Exactly, not bad at alll!!!

I sure could get used to such view! And congratz for being hired allready! Now time to relax and enjoy your staying overthere!

Thx guys! I am going to got to the next interviews with just as an open mind as before, options are everywhere! You just need to take them ;)

after i am done with my internship am coming to join you. good strides , you taking the right action with improving your life

what does this dicord work

Yeah, we can all wait untill life passes us by or take our own actions for it, by making steps

scary! but also good I find.

Discord is an online chatprogram to make new steem friends. It is a helpfull community where you can learn a lot! http://discordapp.com and you can download or use online

A good community to start is the PAL server for new users. Everybody is super helpful there!

I admire the way you live your life. Good luck on your Swiss adventure.

Thanks a lot Phil. It is not always what you choose for, but where you adapt to ;)

A pool of options, and opportunities so dive in and have the time off your life you can only do this once !
Succes met je tweede gesprek

Dank je! Deze week staat weer bol van de nieuwe kansen welke kant ik allemaal op kan, echt heel bijzonder om te ervaren weer. We gaan het allemaal zien!! Spannend...

Hou ons op de hoogte zeg ik dan maar steemend

Best of luck with the interviews.
And I would agree about attachment. The more attached to things you are the less freedom you have.

I truly find this. If I see how people are so attachted to their house I am thinking 'its a pile of stones guys'

Yes ofcourse it might be the most convenientest place and you happily live there, but is a just-a-pile-of-stones.

I dont care to much about all these things, clothes, art on the walls... I dont know really.

And yeah thanks for luck, Im keeping my mind open for all these options this week here.!

But I would make an exception for my phone. I am pretty attached to it and don't wanna lose it.

Hé wat tof dat je al een baan hebt ! Gefeliciteerd !
De uitzichten zijn daar wel wonderschoon inderdaad. Geniet er van !

Dankjewel! Het is hier echt heel mooi!

Inderaad, de druk is er een beetje af maar wil absoluut kijken waar al mn beste opties allemaal zijn in deze week. spannend!!

Ht is gewoon fijn dat je wat hebt en een soort van achterover hangend naar eventueel iets beters kan zoeken. Succes in ieder geval. Lijkt mij ook spannend ja......

Goodluck with the interviews you got left. Good feeling to know you're already hired at some place and then start the second interview😎

BTW did the second one go well?

Yeah also again only positive reactions. This is really good for the self esteem :D

Nou it is going to end up with choosing myself from all good stuff, kind of cool! Very content today!

Thanks for dropping by!

The world is indeed full of wonderful opportunities. You just have to reach and out and take them! This looks like a really good spot to be for a while. Material things are just that material things, but the friendships and the experiences stay with you for a lifetime.

Funny thing this week is that I already met two people this week who I have seen before yeeeaaaaars ago, and you run into each other all 800 km from home. interesting right?

and after all those years, you sit and drink a beer and it is all peachy. Im liking it here until now

I am glad that you are finding it comfortable there. It always helps when settling in some place if you run into people that you know from before.
