#volunteer
I’d like to continue writing in this blog, I didn’t even realize just how many followers I have, and how much I miss keeping a collection of photos/updates of my experiences.
Things have been a little weird since moving to seattle. The whole reason I left france was because I had this huge pull to start working on a career path/make good money/keep pushing my life forward. Working as an au pair just felt like an escape from all that and I thought I needed more. Now that I’m back and the job hunt has grown increasingly difficult, I’m starting to wonder why I even left Europe. On top of that I’ve had a hard time finding my place here socially. I constantly feel like an outsider and like I’m just not meshing with anyone. I dont know if this is normal, since this is really my first time outside of my hometown, or college, or being in a place that already had a social community established for me (my group of au pairs in paris).
I also still have the travel bug crawling around inside me like crazy.. so lately I’ve started to look at opportunities like joining the peace corps, teaching english in asia, volunteer programs abroad, etc. I dont know what the best fit for me is.. and I dont know too much about those types of programs (if you have any insight - send me a message!).
so I guess for now I’m just focusing on self care and the jobs I do have, even if they arent what I want long-term. I have a few projects in the works and will update as more exciting things start to unfold.
