I Quit My Job and Moved to A New Country. One Year Later, Here’s What I’ve Learned
Sometimes you need to make a change.
One year ago, I quit my cabin crew job, packed my bags and moved to Australia with my partner.
I had no idea how things would pan out. I just knew it was time to make a change. And to explore the possibilities that a new life could bring.
Earlier on, a friend had texted, ‘The world is your oyster’. I was curious to see how far I could stretch my ‘oyster’ experience.
As I packed my bags, I made sure to hold onto those things that mattered to me. Photos, salt-shakers( weird, I know) my work badge, and fridge magnets.
For me, those things held a degree of significance far beyond what they looked like. You see, they were not just ‘things’.
They were a huge chunk of my life.
They were precious moments.
They were long hours of hard work.
They were jetlag.
They were shopping sprees.
They were a testament that I had left my footprints in over 80 countries.
To say I was excited to start a new life is an understatement. Because I was dying to!
