1. More travel: I think i'd die without getting out of Dhaka every few months. The plan so far: May in Nepal (work), June in Dubai (work), August in Hong Kong (fun), October in India (fun), December in Egypt (fun). February in US/Australia. I wanted to do the seven wonders tour, already have crossed the Great Wall off my list. I'm guessing pyramids and taj mahal are next.
2. Language immersion: I've tried Italian before, will try French this time after my MBA. And need to find a proper Spanish instructor after that.
3. Career progression: I love my work, but I think I'm ready to move onto the next challenge. I've trusted the process before, and it has rewarded me well. So, I know something more exciting is on the way.
Well, fingers crossed, once again. Sometimes wishing is enough.
So let's review this, one at a time:
- Travel: I did go to Dubai, and sent a colleague to Nepal, since the timing coincided with the Dubai trip. And then I moved to Kabul in October, via Dubai again. Now because happy coincidences, looks like Egypt in Feb and Australia likely in June/Sep.
- Language Immersion: Well, Italian, French and Spanish went out the window the minute I entered Kabul. I'm immersed in Dari and Pashto now.
- Career progression: Yes, proof again that sometimes wishing is enough. I posted this in April, and in May, things started moving for the Kabul position, and by June, I knew that it was happening. And now i'm here!
What a nice surprise!
