At the end of August 2022, I got the (more or less unexpected) information that my work contract as UX Designer will not be extended.
This was intense! My reaction to this: 1. Shocked 2. Relieved 3. Excited (..) and somehow my inner voice told me "Miri this is great! This is NOW the perfect time to go abroad" (..).
From that moment on I felt like in a carousel. It was the end of a brilliant summer in Munich. Having lived seven months in this awesome city made me feel really glad and thankful. But what will be next, where will I be going, what experiences do I want to make, how do I want to travel alone?
„Courage is at the beginning of action, happiness at the end.”Democritus
I love this quote. Somehow it already fitted many times in my life. Even if there is a lot of fear of starting new, I know it's all worth it in the end, because it is somehow my own path I need to go.
Preparation
Actually- I did not give myself much time for preparation :D My work contract ended 1st of November 2022. So I had more or less two months to move out of my flat, sell my stuff, make vaccinations prepare my equipment, and think about a route or volunteering stays and a rough route I want to travel.
Luckily, I had a lot of vacation time left so, I was the last months completely free to plan and prepare.
