Home Again, Home Again, Jiggety-Jog!

To India, to India, to get some new clothes,
Home again, home again, jiggety-joes.

To Arabia and Turkey, to find me a job,
Home again, home again, jiggety-jog.

Well, about 17,400 miles flown, and over 46 hours in the air on my big adventure. I visited 11 countries, 10 of which were first time visits. I interacted with elephants, monkeys, camels and a falcon. I traveled by plane, train (regular & small gauge), bus (local, intercity & double decker), metro, cab, rickshaw, boat (Dhow cruise), foot and elevator. (Does 143 floors make it a vehicle?)

Here is a map of all the places that I have been, to date. A total of 24 countries on 5 continents - can't wait to add more (and to explore more fully, some of the countries that I have only had a taste of).


I am now having Skype interviews for positions in Malta, Bogota Columbia, Ethiopia and Istanbul. I turned one down for Dubai. I'd welcome a position elsewhere in the UAE or in Oman or Qatar, but not Dubai, it's just too big, busy, and rushed.

Can't wait to start my next adventure in the summer. Think Mediterranean!
