In the last year I’ve lived in four countries. For two of those moves I’ve gone because I’ve been attracted to someone.
Whether it works out in the end of not is not really the goal, it’s knowing that you took the chance in the first place.

How I did it: Slowly, with a dictionary. But rather than looking up every word as I went along I'd read through and make a note of unknown words per page (on a post it). Then after a couple of pages I'd go through and look up the new words.If I couldn't continue reading due to an unknown word / type of phrase I'd use that as a sign I needed to get the dictionary out. Read how I did it…
How I did it: While I was back in Australia before moving over to Berlin I had to clean out my cupboards. And during that time I finished and lined some knitting projects and repaired a vintage dress that a friend gave me. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Reduce debts - don't own a car or house.Be single and not a parent.Take risks.Follow your heart.Be brave.Take up Couchsurfing.Be friendly.Realise that this activity may be addictive.Fill up your ipod with amazing music. Read how I did it…

My degree and a large amount of my past work experiences are as a programmer / web developer. It is easy for potential employers to see me as “just technical”. I’m trying to work out the best way of bringing to their attention the amazing things I’m capable of even though I don’t have a related degree / experience.
Part of this experience is about me changing the way I identify / introduce myself.
I feel so relieved to be pinning down my field of interest. Now I just need to find work that allows me to research and implement this stuff!
