Living in Limbo – The Ups and Downsĭespite the anxiety, the regular feeling of nowhere quite being “home”, and always having to spend far too much money to get things notarized ($50 for a stamp?!), living in limbo has its upsides. I’m very thankful to have had that experience first or trying to prepare for Spain would’ve made me more confused and anxious than I already am. I must say, relative to Spain, the jobs that I had in Korea all but hold your hand in completing the processes required. This can be spread over many weeks depending on how organized you are and how organized the agencies (government and otherwise) that you need to deal with are. When you decide to work abroad, much of your time during your “visits” to your home country often include figuring out your visa stuff, banking stuff, health and insurance stuff, among other errands. It has been a summer of exploring Ontario, celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday in Ottawa, and running errands. Happy Canada Day! Happy 150 Canada from Canada’s capital! #canada150 #canada #ottawa #parliament #canada🇨🇦 #canadaday #canadiangirl #glt #globetrotter #fromwhereyoudratherbe #wearetravelgirlsĪ post shared by Wanderdolls on at 8:05pm PDT May was also when I returned home from Canada. I applied and interviewed for BEDA about seven months ago, and after patiently waiting for three months, I received my acceptance email in May.
Presently, I’m working out the details to move to Spain. Home is often the time when I plan out the logistics of my next trip. It’s an internal conflict I have yet to balance.
BEING IN LIMBO AT WORK FREE
When I’m free to travel, I want to go overseas. There’s so much of Canada I want to explore and travel to, yet I always feel that when I have the time at home, I need to see the people I haven’t yet. When home, it feels like a constant scramble of trying to visit everyone that I can, work online, and still try to enjoy doing things while there. While living in limbo can be chaotic, it certainly beats routine.
And by home, I mean back in my home country at my mother’s house. This rollercoaster of a life feels like it comes to a screeching halt once I’m “home”. Whether I’m between contracts working abroad or my next travelling adventure, outside of a teaching contract, I tend not to be in one place more than a few months. It seems as though I’m always either coming or going.
