Why hello peeps...

What am I doing?

Hello! So recently I decided to take a career break... I’ve been working in audit for the past 5 years, which to me felt like 8 years! During this time, I managed to accomplish a lot – moving up the ranks from a newbie grad to an experienced audit senior and I ALSO became a globe trotter – I worked in San Francisco for a few months and then Amsterdam. I became so worldly! Haha … after 5 years of long nights and constant deadlines I decided that it was time to take a break…

… BUT NOW WHAT?!

That’s the thought that’s been in my head for a while. What’s the next step? Where do I go next? What do I want to do?

I could never really answer these questions with solid answers. I waiver from considering a profession as an accountant in the commercial environment to possible working in the finance industry as an analyst. However, the one thing that has been constantly popping up in my mind is seeing what it’s like to blog. So I figured why not… it’ll give me something to do while I am trying to find my next step.

So then I got to thinking, what do I want to blog about? If you look at my Instagram I like food, a lot! So I thought the obvious blog to make would be a food one. Here’s some examples, which I will call Evidence A:

(Evidence A: all photos taken from my Instagram Link course there has to be some self-promotion)

But then if you looked at my wall and my music collection you’ll notice that I love music, especially live music and I go to A LOT of concerts.  Refer to evidence B and C below. Then I thought, I could write a blog about music, but then I’m no real expert as I appreciate all genres.  

(Evidence B: the wall of tickets)

(Evidence C: photos are taken by me during various shows)

So that got me thinking even more, what else do I like? I’m starting to read again, since I have so much time in between applying and interviewing for jobs. Evidence D below shows all the books I’ve recently brought from bookdepository.com.

(Evidence D: Yup that’s right, there’s a lot of books from YouTubers there)

So, I came to a conclusion, I’ll blog about things I like such as the food I eat, music I listen to, movies I watch, books I read, YouTubers I love. Basically make a lifestyle blog about anything and not everything, but some things and just see where this thing goes. It’d be interesting to see if anyone reads this, if not, it’s a good way to track my interests and thoughts.

Well basically that’s my first blog post. YAY! Achievement unlocked – First blog post!

Until next time! xx
