Here I go- only four more business days and I am free! I have never quit a job before and moved to a foreign country. It's all new and so far its all good. I am going through a mix of emotions- sad about leaving my co-workers and my company; excited because I am on the edge of a new adventure; anxious because I don't know where I will be in just a few months. I can't wait for more new experiences and friendships. The road is wide open and I am sure I made the right decision to leave my corporate real estate development job and move to Mexico for the next 6 months or so. What would you do if you had a few thousand dollars and several months?
Right now I am tying up loose ends and packing. I bought a sweet North Face Base Camp Duffel size Medium. It's bright red so I am going to cover it with stickers and roll around in the mud so I won't stand out as new tourist. The bag doesn't fit too much stuff which is good as it limits the amount of weight I can pack.
This is what I have in my bag:
Yoga Mat
ziplock baggies
Thyroid Med, Allergy Med, Birth Control, Multi-Vitamin and Green Energy pills
