Change of Environment

We are planning a trip to the beach this weekend to have a change of environment. The weather has been unpredictably annoying lately and it is giving us a hard time coping with our health.

My son has allergic rhinitis and is severely affected by a sudden change of weather. While there is very little we can do about it, we're thinking that a quick trip the sea shore might give us the breather we need.

We thought of flying to Bangkok too but the ocean trip offers more to the health of of our kid. Plus, lesser expenses.

I also need a change of environment when it comes to my career. My current company, as I have previously written, is coming to an end. And because of that, jobs that we do on a daily basis are getting less and less.

Apart from the fact that I needed a new job, I also think that it's about time to move on and have a change of environment. I am hoping to get a work somewhere else and leave Cambodia for good (and I pray for this to happen).

We have stayed here for almost 6 years now and it's getting comfortable. Something that I wanted to avoid because once you get comfortable with the environment, chances are you won't want to leave.  And as an expat, that may not be what you want and it isn't in my case. While it is not at all bad to get comfortable on a certain place, chances are your career growth will also be impeded at some point. (although I have to admit that that's case by case)

Anyway, a change of environment would be a great opportunity for us as a family so that's our next goal.

At least for now I have something to look forward to. Something to aim and go for. It excites me just thinking that we're going to start somewhere. Hopefully, we're going to do this soon.
