I have revisited my blog and website numerous times in the last 18 months, but have had so many new experiences, I think not had the confidence to keep writing. Since March 2014 I have travelled alone to New Zealand, Fiji, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. I also visited friends working in Italy and France, rekindled my love of singing for a wedding performance, started a Graduate position as a Housing Officer, spent New Year in Ireland, travelled and fell in love with Sri Lanka, bought a flat, continued dance teaching, and been back to the West Country and Wales numerous times.
I have now finished my Graduate role and am at the end of my second day not working, preparing to move to Sri Lanka for 6 months next week. I had the most amazing experience as a Housing Officer; one which has definitely altered my perspective of the 'Welfare State' and the crucial role of Social Housing in the UK. I have embraced daily challenges and striven to keep growing (though definitely not in height!) in my knowledge and understanding of social housing. I was fortunate to complete my Chartered Institute of Housing Level 4, to practise some academic writing, and have just finished my TEFL course (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) to take abroad with me. I hope one day to have the time to explain further some particular joys and grievances that have punctuated the start of my career, but with just 4 days left before I move, I best start packing! I hope to use this blog to keep you all updated as often as possible on my life and work in Sri Lanka - wifi permitting.
