Wondering and wandering

I try to be a modern nomad, so don't judge me if I don't update this for a couple of weeks :)

Until yesterday, I was one of the grey, biggest concern of the day is what to eat tonight, getting up at 7.30, getting home around 17.00. Now I’m trying to shut down this life with all comes with it in just 4 days, packing my life down to 1 big case and a backpack.
As you can guess, I made it through the interview and I’m leaving for the open sea on Tuesday. I even got my own cabin assigned, quite a luxury for a crewmember on a private yacht.

And what a yacht it is… A Danish ‘60 ice breaking class, ex fisheries control ship. Smooth lines and ready to take a heavy beating. She survived Katrina in 2005, so I’m quite sure she’s a worthy ship.
But as I’m going to spend a couple of years on the Daphne, I’m going to get to know her a whole lot better in the future.

Back to this life for a couple of days. I have a house, a car and a whole lot of furniture to sell in 4 days. Not sure how to handle that but I’ll figure out something :)

Tomorrow will become a big turning point in my life, whatever the result of the interview might be. I decided to change my way of living and at least try to achieve a kind of a nomadic lifestyle. I’ve tasted it a couple of times in the past and every time I got back it became harder to adjust to the monotonic life in this crazy little country.
But now the bullet is shot, my house is for sale and I have a job interview to work on a private yacht and sail the world for a couple of years.
There’s a whole lot to arrange but when everything goes right, I can be out of here in 2-3 weeks.

If it goes wrong, then I go for a winter in the French Alps. I have an interview on October 4 in Rotterdam for that but I hope I have to cancel that one. As snowboarding is becoming a big passion of mine I wouldn’t mind going to the Alps, but hey, sailing the world has the pole position…

Tomorrow I’ll know more, in a couple of day’s you’ll know too
