"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves." - William Shakespeare
After a bit of a rest and a great catch up with family and friends it was time for the next venture. Whatever it was I wanted it to include travel and a good cause.
"It is always wise to look ahead, but difficult to look further than you can see." - Winston Churchill
I started by looking at running my own business, but to get fundraising / marketing clients, travel and work at the same time was proving not to be a match made in heaven practically, so I decided to start this as a side venture and begun with some freelance work for a conservation job website. I was offered a role running a dog charity in India and an interview for a Directorship in London, but for various reasons I decided these weren't quite right.
"Belief in oneself is one of the most important bricks in building any successful venture." - Lydia M. Child
I also had the opportunity to head to NZ on a working visa. In the end I decided that my priorities were travel, write, do something good, build my own ventures on the side and to be immersed in another culture. I saw a great role for an education charity based in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
"Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today." - Malcolm X
The interview process was a bit lengthy, but I was offered the role at the end of May and moved out there at the end of June!
