Next Stop: Qatar

After the fiasco with the "India Monster", I was forced to think about the question we all hate to hear, "So, what are you going to do?". I had no clue. First, I thought of staying in the states and moving to a big city. I was going to Atlanta, Dallas, DC wherever my stellar resume would take me. Even though I kept exploring my options my heart was elsewhere.

I know that it was in my best interest that India didn't work out. But, I knew that somehow India wasn't the end of my overseas journey. Somehow that stellar resume got passed on to a principal in Doha, Qatar. He runs an international school that has had impeccable success. Long story short, he loved me, although he told me he was disappointed that I hadn't picked up the Louisiana accent lol. He offered me the job on the spot.

Qatar, here I come!!!

Wait! Did I mention the best part. You don't  need a visa :-). In Qatar, you simply give them 30 dollars when you arrive at the airport and there is your visa. The difference in the visa process alone has me wondering. How is it that India can improve its conditions when they make it so difficult for people to come in and contribute to their country? That's a topic that I will revisit at a later date!


This weekend I am moving to doha, Qatar. You can call me crazy, adventurous or whatever floats your boats. However silly it may seem, I believe in following dreams. I have never taken the traditional route. I have never been afraid of the unknown. I won't start now. I think of it as my dream with his plan! Im not sure what Im looking for, Im not sure what I will find but I can assure you that this will be a fantastic ride. I will be in Doha in six days!!!! Let the Journey begin!!
