and I’m back…

Kilimanjaro beer, amazing sunsets & a great workshop… that sums up my last few days!

I arrived in Zanzibar on Sunday where I have started a new contract (a nice surprise) and have been very excited to get to know a new group of learners & a different type of hospitality business – resorts are different, different challenges, different types of guests etc. On top of that it is a more varied group of people so that is interesting too.

It is rather strange to be in a place where I don’t know anyone… normally I’m in places where I have a few friends around, but at least i get plenty of alone time!

It’s been over four months since I was last in Tanzania, can’t quite believe how fast the time went in Denmark & UK over the Summer, but at the same time it feels like forever since I was here, maybe because I had some lovely experiences along the way with quality family & friend time, which I really cherished. 😊

It was also great to have some virtual coaching & training and learning design preparation to keep me busy-ish on the work front and of course that also helps with the bank balance!

There was also time for plenty of reflection & self-doubt. How much longer can I continue living in a suitcase without a real sense of belonging anywhere? How can I make my incredibly emotionally & mentally rewarding work become more rewarding financially? What is the right ‘work, life, family’ balance for me? 

But for now I will enjoy the smell of the Zanzibar air, the welcoming & wonderful Tanzanian people and the warmth on my face as I focus on this contract.
