Change of Plans

It has been a while.. the last update was back in October. What has changed? Well a lot.

I just quit my job as a real estate agent. As much fun as it was and even I earned well at the beginning, it was not sustaining my lifestyle and living costs here, which forced me to make a hard decision.

I decided it is time to go back to Switzerland and try to get back into School. Thailand turned out not to be the place for me after all. I wish to have realised that earlier when my options were still wide open. But of course I still cherish my time here and all the experiences made! Never regret the past, just look forward.

Let yourself be this a lesson, if you want to go and live abroad, it is necessary to have a certain skill-set. I of course knew that beforehand, but I expected my work experience and education from Switzerland to be enough. However, Asian countries are quite restrictive in terms of allowing foreigners to legally live and work in their countries, mostly based on having a university degree.

Just a few weeks ago my friend Robin told me he will come to visit with his girlfriend and Elias, another friend of mine. So I am currently preparing everything for their visit, to show them around Thailand. 

After that, on the 7th of March I will head back to Switzerland.. So see you soon my friends. And I will update you again, maybe also with a travel review once and again.

Have to go, I am late for an appointment..
