I’ve been silent for quite some time now. So what have I been doing? Packing, shipping my things, closing my service by doing administrative paperwork at the Peace Corps office, going to a wedding in Germany, a job interview in Frankfurt and a move to Krakow, Poland. That’s a lot in the six weeks since I left Albania.
I’ve been enjoying the great weather and the wide spread of cultural events in Krakow. This is exactly what I needed; a kind of coming in from the cultural cold. Krakow is a great city and I have no doubt that I would have enjoyed living and studying here. But the next phase of my life is beginning in July with permanent employment in Germany.
It’s funny the path that our lives take. One seemingly small decision leads to a whole different set of choices, and before you know it, you’re living abroad indefinitely and you have someone to share your life with. Not a bad result at all, considering I didn’t know exactly where Peace Corps service would lead me. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
