Things change...

...and they change quickly. -- As my hopefully-soon-to-become new boss likes to say. So first of all I am not going to Kenya next week. Instead I am going to Vienna on the 18th, for an interview and assessment center with Doctors without borders - a humanitarian organization providing medical assistance to people in need all over the world. I hope to be accepted to work as a logistician/administrator for them, so cross your fingers for me on the 18th. That's why I had to cancel the Kenyan plans, since otherwise I couldn't come for the interview. So let's hope it was worth it. What do you think about giving up something for an uncertain opportunity to get something better? Also since California will probably have to do without me for while

Leaving ... or is it coming back?

Happy new year and greetings from Liberec, Czech Republic. After 16 months I have finally packed my bags and on December 30th said goodbye to the United States and got on the plane back to Europe. The flight was ok ... even the food was good (although a lady across the aisle from me was still secretely chewing on a hamburger she brought w/ her).

So what's next? 2 months of franatic work on my thesis and then Kenya - I have just bought my air ticket today. I am excited. My parents are freaked out - as usual.

I have to admit, leaving all my friends in the US was breaking my heart and I was getting unsure whether the great features of being a traveler are worth the constant leaving behind those you love. But I guess sooner or later my travels will become more of coming back than leaving. So hang in there, all my friends around the world.

I will be back....everywhere.
