Back to reality



I'm back!! *insert dancing emoji* It’s been about a month since I got back from Thailand and I have just about managed to get into a normal routine. As much as I'm happy to be back to normality, I am gutted that my reality is no longer temperatures over 30 degrees and taking selfies with cute Thai kids at the end of every camp session. I truly had the most amazing time in Thailand. I made some amazing friends and memories I will treasure forever.

Going travelling has been something that I have wanted to do for a while now but have always put it off because I just didn't have the money to go. A lot of my friends are getting married, buying houses and being grown-ups and I just felt I was failing at being an adult. I have faced so many hurdles over the last two years. I felt defeated and insecure.

I decided to stop comparing my life to other and to do something for myself. So in May I decided to take the plunge and book onto a trip to Thailand. I thought the programme was perfect for me it combined my love for teaching and working with children alongside experience a new culture. Best decision. ever.

I've come back refreshed, inspired and motivated to make life what I want. 

When I arrived back I didn't have a job to come to. This didn't bother me though as I was happy having nothing to do. The last few months have been so busy it was nice to have nothings to do and no responsibilities. I've applied for jobs and last week I got offered a job as a year 6 teacher. This is my first ever job as a teacher and I honestly I didn't think I would get the job. There were plenty of people who were more experienced than me. I'm so shocked that they offered me the job. I'm so excited to start my new job and embrace this new stage in my life.
