December 2013 was a grim month in my life, I had made plans to backpack India with my Fiancee of 14 years, when suddenly she announced we where splitting up. Moved into a rented room and appraised my life. The dream and love of travel had always been in me, why stall at the last hurdle. So i submitted my resignation, packed my backpack and set of, I traveled India, Malaysia. Thailand, Cambodia, China, Vietnam, Laos.
I loved it and realised that SE Asia was somewhere I could live and settle, but where. Narrowing it down it was only going to be Thailand.
Speculative messages and feelers where put out, expat groups joined, CV posted, and my fingers well and truly crossed. " I was stunned" !
Great responses and I was lucky to be offered 4 roles, two of which caused me several nights of thought and decision making, but I plumbed for the Challenge and in February 2015 I joined The Voova Group in Pattaya as Group Sales Manager. voovagroup.com/
I now have a large rented room with a/c, balcony, pool, cable tv, fridge, wi fi for 8500 thb per month, I drive a Scooter, eat noodles for breakfast, squeeze between trucks, Coaches and cars on 3rd road and Pattaya Klang, and generally am enjoying life.
Of course I miss my old friends and family, but my youngest son gets married in May, so a good catch up is not to far way. :-)
