Go Travellism hired me as a freelance tour leader...
I had applied for a weekend job as a trek leader in my beloved travel company just for a little extra income as the previous job was not really paying all the bills.
While I was there for the training session they offered me a Full Time Tour Leader job given that I am willing to sacrifice 92 holidays a year. It was a good offer and I would have instantly jumped on it if I was not married.
So currently I will be a freelance tour leader until I figure out what to do next.
That's one option. Although, it got me thinking whether I really have a chance of total career change.
How about writing all the options down?
Asking my self questions about my interests
and if I am willing to take that interest to next level
and earn from it?
Can I be consistent with it?
Can I do that every single day of my life?
Then comes the monstrous question - Do I have a shot?
This one scares me.
I don't know why but coming out of a safe shell
and stepping into a competitive - job hunting world is scarier than I thought.
There is a lot of learning to do which was left behind after college. I was working in my comfort zone so far.
Hadn't I thought this before quitting?
Yes, I had.
Yet, I had to face the fear and I stepped out.
Since then, life is completely new to me.
I never ever had a perspective till now.
Honestly I never thought twice about my life decisions before.
I had always known what I was going to study, in which college and what to do later...Some things changed on the way; but everything was good as far as the job satisfaction mattered.
Anyway, the point is I never had second thoughts about anything.
But now...Now I am having second, third, fourth, fifth, n number of thoughts about everything.
Writing calms me down.
Yet, I am listing out my possibilities in my "mind".
Because that amount of laziness has camped in my body
since I have resigned.
Half of that list gets vanished time to time.
To remember the WRITING option from the list, I started this blog.
Why blog? and Why a month later after resigning?
Because Netflix is free for a month and I just watched "Julie & Julia" starring Meryl Strip.😉
