Well, as of about 2 minutes ago, I have resigned my job and this is the first part for everyone to know. You may want to know why I resigned. It isn’t necessarily because of a certain bad experience or anything like that. I took this job back during Covid after losing my job at the airport (like a lot of people at the time). While this was a good stable job, it was not something I had really done before and when I applied, I told them it may not be something I was into for the long run. Fast forward almost 4 years later and it is time to move on. While the job was fine to begin with, it has changed a lot over time and I just don’t think I am right for it any longer.

But why am I putting this on the blog. Why does anyone really care? They probably don’t but part of the reason why I am doing this now is because it has been a long time since I have had the time to travel. Living in the USA has meant a lot of sacrifices and while I had a good amount of PTO when I worked at the airport, since then, I haven’t. I am now in my 40s, I haven’t really had a good break from a job since 2011 and have been working pretty much non stop since.

So it is time for a bit of a break (this was originally Heidi’s idea) but when my last day later in February rolls around, I will be taking a 2 month break from work and getting back on the road. I am headed back to Australia for a break and some time spent with family and lots of friends. Some of my friends may already know about the trip, but this is a general call out to everyone in Aus who I have met over the years. It is time to catch up with me in March and April. I have not seen a lot of people in a long time. My last visit home to Australia was in 2016 and that was for 5 days and that was a whirlwind visit. Before that it was 2013 for 4 days and it was even quicker when I came home for a wedding.

During this trip there will be some time to travel about and Heidi will be joining me for some of that adventure. I will get into the trip more about the planning and the route and the fun that is to come but I wanted everyone to know that I am coming home and I am looking forward to it! Here is to a new adventure and everything that will come because of it!
