Congratulations, you are finally a (digital) nomad!

I am so blessed to have people like Maarten from Wereldstap around, who did an intake with me, listened to my wishes and acted accordingly. Leaving soon for 2-3 months, finally the sun and living on an island again! Since I am trying to be sweeter to myself, I have an airport pickup, and my house is arranged. The Wereldstap people will also arrange a simcard and I will be able to work in one of their office spaces. Thank you all from Wereldstap!

I have immigrated to the Philippines in my thirties and the Philippines were my home for a long time. I went back to the Netherlands to be the informal caregiver of my mother. It felt a little strange to help people in the Philippines, while my own mother needed help. I will never regret coming back to the Netherlands. She is not here anymore. I am not yet totally ready for all kind of hardcore adventures. So this is still a start of an adventure, leading to more in the future! And now in my fifties instead of my thirties, hence the slomad way....

My fellow blogger colleague Hannah, who I consider to be very adventurous wrote: The three pillars of a successful working holiday. In summary (but you should still read it) it is about work, friends and freedom. It is about the balance of working and travelling, saving and living, being social and resting, planning and spontaneity. Will evaluate the three pillars the next coming weeks. Please let me know your thoughts...

To all my friends, please connect me to your family, friends, colleagues and projects on Curaçao. I will be happy to meet them, and maybe make new friends (one pillar will be satisfied) and trying to make myself useful (where it is wanted and needed). And... remember, my door is always open...

No regrets later on, hopefully. The saying is: "Never regret what you did do." I will keep you posted, thank you colleagues from JoHo Worldsupporter, for giving me the opportunity to do this. I won't go in the sun, unfiltered (inside joke).
