Job-hunting in Buenos Aires

Dear all

May I have your attention for a small, but important intermezzo. You probably think I already made it back home to 'sunny' Belgium, but alas I will have to disappoint you. After seven months travelling around the world I haven't had enough of viewing and experiencing the world. "Can you ever?" I might hear you ask. If it's up to me you can't, which doesn't mean I cannot enjoy it while living in Belgium. At the moment however I would still like to enjoy it from one of my favourite continents: South America.

Argentina is my final stop and therefore my final call to decide whether or not I'll take that plane on the originally set date. It didn't take many considerations or many thoughts, I just followed my heart and it decided not. It doesn't mean I don't miss my family and friends, I do, but sometimes you get chances you're not sure of you'll ever get them again. I am here now, maybe once, maybe forever. I don't know. But for once in my life I like to know nothing. Let's find out what the future offers me, let's find out what Argentina has got hidden for me. Maybe I find nothing and I'll come back pretty soon, which is all fine. I don't have any expectations and I am not looking for anything, but if something decides to find me then I am more than happy to receive it.

It is an experiment in which my main goal consists of learning Spanish properly and getting to know a city and a culture more thorough than you do while just travelling in it. Maybe I'll get enough of it after a month, maybe I don't. I'll keep you posted on my return for sure!

I currently have a small job as a teacher English, but I keep my hopes up for more hours and a possible job in a bar or a restaurant. If anyone has connections in Bs. As., please inform me.

I am looking for a flat as well, so as soon as I have the address I will let you know.

In the mean time: enjoy your summer, I probably won't be there for a nice Belgian beer on the terrace, but count me in for sure for some glühwein at the Christmas market in Antwerp! I love you all, I do miss you and please stay in touch!

Big kisses
