I quit my job in HK. I was working from the US, developing lessons for an e-learning company. I’ve been working with this company for almost a year now. It’s not that I didn’t enjoy working from home, or exercising my brain. I simply didn’t have the time to work.
Life in the US is certainly more demanding than HK life, at least for me. Stateside, I don’t have hired help. I have more material things to take care of. I live in a bigger house, which means more cleaning, organizing, etc. Travel opportunities are easier here because we have a vehicle. Everything is just busy!
I certainly don’t sit around and pine for my easy Lamma Island life of swimming and tea sipping. It’s rewarding to be close to family and watch the seasons change. This time, especially since I’m pregnant, is a lovely chance to reconnect with my roots.
