2️⃣4️⃣ days until my journey begins 🇻🇳

That’s 1️⃣1️⃣.3️⃣working days, 2️⃣ more Monday mornings, 1️⃣more branch appraisal, 2️⃣more office meetings....the countdown is on everything!

But it’s also only 1️⃣festival of the summer to go, 1️⃣ more girly get together, 1️⃣more family meal....and these little countdowns do make my heart bleed.

My bag is half packed and my spare room is covered in possible packing options....the shopping for essentials continues.....yes those two dresses purchased yesterday were absolutely essential😀.the guidebooks and phrase books lay prominent on my bedside table.

It’s just the small issue of packing up my entire life into boxes, renting out the house \240and selling my car; and then my 1️⃣2️⃣month adventure begins😀

Mixed emotions are abundant. I’m up and I’m down. I’m happy, then I’m sad. I’m excited, and then I’m scared. I don’t think I’ve ever had this amount of mixed emotions in my life.

But it has to be this way. The emotions have to run. These raw feelings play a huge part in the learning this adventure is going to bring. Well I hope it’s going to bring. Learning about myself. Learning about another culture. Living completely independently without being reliant upon others.

35 years young and I’m giving up everything for this adventure......how irresponsible of me😂
