Sorry that I have been so quiet... to be honest I needed some alone time. I've been back in touch with my creative side - and exploring nature, the beach and new musical instruments with the start of Summer looming close.
I've decided to learn the didgeridoo... it is such a unique and beautiful instrument and I'm having so much fun with it!
I have been back in touch with good friends that I hadn't seen for a while - having proper girls days.. something I haven't had in a very long time. It has been wonderful to get away from technology and just embrace friendships and fun days out in the sun filled with laughter, ocean, wine and sand.
I plan on taking the online TEFL course so that I can go to China and teach English to children for a year! It will only start in China... from a few months residing in a flat there with some friends, I plan to hop across to Beijing, Vietnam, Bali, India and South America. This new journey will be the life I lead for the next year or two... the course is 120 hours and can be completed in your own time.
If anyone is keen to know more please inbox me because this is going to be the journey of an absolute lifetime!!!
Someone asked me what it is that I am seeking... and my answer was this: Travel, culture, adventure, experience, friendships, spirituality, freedom, love... my list could go on. You earn GREAT bucks doing teaching over there but it isn't about that for me... it is about so much more than money.
I also have been reading the most incredible book called Breaking Free by Chett Vosloo... its a South African book but please for my overseas readers that have a yearning to travel... try and get your hands on a copy. It has changed my life!!
Life
is undergoing a major transformation for me. For this inner awakening to
take place, I need to be away from home. I need to be away from all
familiarity, in a place where nobody knows me. Both my friends and
family know me so well by now that the personality I am around them I so
deeply ingrained that I automatically behave in a certain way whenever I
am with them. What I need now is to take off
all these masks That I have worn for so long and to find out who I
really am when I don't have to play the Jade Wright that everyone know
me to be.......... Wow. Thank you Jed Matthews (Chett Vosloo) for those awe-inspiring
words. Your novel just summed up everything I feel inside. Wherever you
are in South Korea, I hope you are touching the lives of many others as
you are with mine. Namaste.
