And now for something a little different…

September 23, 2013 by Fran Leave a Comment

Hi folks, how are we all doing?  I have something today that’s not like my usual ravings.  I want to share something that was sent to me recently, and it got me thinking.

I have often wrote about the trials and tribulations of being an expat.  Facing the conflicting emotions of knowing I am living my own personal dream, whilst at the same time struggling with internal demons that are telling me that I am not quite where I should be.

Over time I wondered, would I become one of the stereotypical “ping pong poms”?

Who knows?  Maybe I will.  I have safely negotiated the choppy waters of the first year.  The waters are a little more sedate now and I seem to be sailing along nicely.  For the moment.  Without any ballast, I am liable to up and off somewhere new at the drop of a hat.

But whilst I am here, the infographic below is an excellent visualisation of the kind of decisions that I consider on a daily basis.

Have a read and make your own mind up, UK…or Oz??
