Yes it’s true, I am indeed back in Auckland, the nanny thing didn’t quite work out. The
original allure of the job – the stability, free accommodation and food as well
as good pay – was pretty much what I came to New Zealand to get away from. I
realized this a few days in to the job ... and it hit me very hard and all at
once. I have to admit I was pretty overwhelmed, and then I remembered that I was
at the other end of the world and let me tell you this realization did nothing
to help with the overwhelming feeling. But after exchanging a few emails and
having a Skype chat with two people that gave great advice I came to the quick
conclusion that I needed to change my plans as quick as possible. 24 hours
later I am back in Auckland and after reading a letter that one of my best
friends wrote me I am in a much better mind set and ready to start from square
one.
The next few days are going to be spent doing some planning
and I am fairly confident that my plans to do something that involves
travelling around and seeing as many new things as possible will work out
better then the nanny job did.
I am hoping that going with my gut and leaving what was
otherwise a perfectly good job with nice people will turn out to be what I
needed. Unfortunately there is no way to know for sure if this was the right
decision... but I will be finding this out soon.
Hopefully I will have some slightly more exciting things to
talk about in the next post ... but for now this is it.
