An Employed Nomad

Oh Yeah it’s official, after vagabonding around Asia for six months and bumming around at home for another six months and two weeks I finally got a job. I’m having mixed emotions with this decision but nevertheless it’s still a blessing that I should be grateful with for the time being.

I’m Excited

I’m excited because I want to see how I will react with the same things that I used to deal with before I backpacked. I feel that I have changed a lot because of my experiences on the road but at the same time I also feel that I’m still the same person in some ways.

And I’m also excited because I’m gonna earn some money again. Hurray!!!

I’m Nervous

I’m nervous because I’ll be placing myself in a place or environment wherein I’ll be following a lot of rules and restrictions. I’m nervous because I’ll be mingling with the corporate people again and I might not be able to distinguish real relationships versus superficial “I-need-you” kind of relationship.

I’m nervous because I’m at the mercy of my schedule again, without the freedom of just doing anything at my own pace.

My Direction

I’ve decided that I’m gonna take a path away from mediocrity (I hope). One thing that I’ve learned from my travel is to be the best wherever I may be and give the best effort in every endeavour that I’d choose to engage myself in. This is to avoid having regrets in the future.

I’m also going to continue blogging about my travels and my thoughts and maybe some other stuff in the future. I’d like to have a location independent kind of job that some travel bloggers have so I could continue living my passion.

Wish me luck!

 I'm just a boy trying to find my way back 'home'.
