at your marks… go!
My keenness to move abroad is not something new, but it’s not something bond to happen in all of a sudden. Usually it’s something that takes time, consideration, preparation and lot’s of search from the available options. Usually.
But this last few days, my life changed a-lot. So, let’s see.
During this week I had to choose between quitting my nice job (with a 48 hours notice – not a very nice thing) against turning my life into a big bold question mark. I’ve chosen the question mark :)
This next two weeks I’ll be attending to an international management workshop in Porto and only by the end of it, I’ll be told what country/city/company I’ll work for 9 months later this year. In between, I’ll be working for about 6 weeks somewhere in Portugal. Location also unknown at present date.
To sum up: this year I’ll live in at least in 3 different (unknown) cities and work at two different (also unknown) companies.
Oh, and in the middle of all this, I was invited to go to a TV show to speak about my postcrossing project. How I will fit that in the middle of all this changes is to be discovered. More details soon :)

Hi Paulo, I’m a postcrosser from India. The post crossing project is a great idea. Though, I do wish I would get more postcards than the ones I send!
If you like your job then you shouldn’t quit it. The question mark sounds like a great place to be! I myself am in a similar position. Take care!

I’m portuguese, also almost engineer (also LESI, you know me) and i heard about a project similar to the one you told. Can you share with us what project is it?
