This entire process has required me to be patient. It has taught me that even though here in the USA everything we do has a sense of urgency, not everyone in the world lives the same way. We want our food fast, we don't like to wait in lines, the list can go on and on. I started this process in January and anytime I submitted paperwork, I had to wait for it to be processed. After my interview, I had to wait to hear back. I have no problem waiting but I think this next wait I'll have to endure will be the longest but I plan to occupy my time selling everything we're not going to take with us or keep and decluttering our lives so that when we leave the USA we will leave knowing we only have the necessities.

This week has been another week of learning about me. Let's start with the fun stuff.
When I was little I wanted to be a lot of things. I wanted to be a librarian, a cashier, a waitress, a clown fit to be in the circus, and most of all a teacher. This week I was able to check off the very last career I've not yet experienced. A friend of mine asked me to be a server/waitress for a wedding. I didn't want to seem awkward and weird, which is my norm, so I accepted his invitation calm, cool, and collected however my insides were jumping up and down! I'm so glad that my waitress career was so short lived because when I got home my feet were hurting so bad. All in all I enjoyed the night! Not to mention I'm going to the UniverSoul Circus tonight and I could not be any happier because I wanted to join the circus in lieu of going to college. Actually, I could be happier if we were already in the UAE! 😄 LONG POST ALERT...
I’ll start with an update on my UAE documents and then move into what I’ve been up to “In the Meantime”. |
Hey there, I’m Janelle! Welcome to my corner of the world. I’m an international educator by day, and a massive, do-life-big lover of travel, creative sewing, and bold cooking by night. Currently based in the beautiful UAE, I believe the world is too huge to stay limited by what society says about you, and I'm convinced that creating a life you love is the ultimate way to realize we are not defined by anyone else's expectations. From ziplining in Ras Al Khaimah and hot air ballooning in Cappadocia to conquering 6 out of 7 Disneys worldwide, I’m on a mission to see it all (and probably fabric-shopping or food-tasting along the way!). Want big travel experiences but hate the stress of the unknown, the planning, and the endless logistics? You’re in the right place. I share global inspiration here to show you exactly how to break boundaries and explore—and when you’re ready, I can design the perfect custom travel package for you over at Unique Does Travel.
