Today is the first day that I have looked back at my blog in many months. I have been back in the UK for about 8 months now, and already my trip seems to be a distant memory, but a very good distant memory! I returned to work shortly after arriving home to find that, not surprisingly, it was time to make a career change. I had known this prior to my trip and had planned to give it serious thought whilst away but, needless to say, I didn’t make time for it!
Back in the rat race, I still wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, I was looking into going back to University to either completely change my job or build on the one I had but nothing sat completely right with me. Until I rediscovered my passion for health and fitness, something clicked and before I knew it I had booked onto a course to qualify as a Personal Trainer. I negotiated a part-time contract so I could keep my state registration as a paramedic, and have a safety net financially.
3 weeks ago I completed the course and am now in the process of setting up my own personal training company, ProBodyStyling. It’s an exciting time for me, all of a sudden lots of doors are opening, opportunities keep arising and I haven’t felt so healthy and happy in a long time!
Looking back I can now see how my time traveling gave me the opportunity to unravel my mind enough to see the light of day and discover what I really wanted to achieve in life rather than what everyone else wanted me to achieve, and for that, every penny and every day of it was worth it.
If you have the opportunity to travel, take it, you never know where it might take you!
