I cannot believe how fast the year went. A minute ago I was still in Australia seeing Turtles, hiking in New Zealand and preparing a safety audit and office move while discussing ANZ launch projects and now I have been already for 5 months in Bangkok, visiting the Philippines and Indonesia so far. For me this year definitely has been one of change, leaving a country and people that I had grown fond of and embarking on a new adventure with different cultures and teams to get to know. Change has not been always easy but my husband and I enjoyed the experience so far a lot and we met a lot of warm and friendly people wherever we went. We feel at home in our new place, build a tolerance for yummy spicy food ;-) and I have enjoyed my country visits and our away days. Who would think I would release a crab into the sea, sing Karaoke or shoot seeds into the forest?
Thank you so much for making me feel welcome in my new role and for all you have achieved together as a team.
After a busy year it is now time to relax, recharge batteries and spend some quality time with family and friends. Enjoy a merry Christmas if you celebrate it and have a wonderful new year. I wish you lots of laughter, yummy food eaten with the people you love, singing, sleeping in, walks on the beach or whatever else will make you happy. I for sure will dig my feet in the sand, listen to the sound of the sea and have a cocktail or two ;-).
