After my 14 months spent traveling and working from my laptop, I dreaded returning to the UK.
The cold weather. The daily chores. The London commute. The same old same old.
So I tried finding clients in Spain and Dubai so that I would be able to relocate.
The Spanish company interview went great. I enjoyed the day in Mallorca (picture taken in Palma, Mallorca on the day trip). But I don’t think the company had the budget to take me on and get a team for me to manage. It didn’t work out.
Atleast I got a nice day trip to a sunny climate. And they got 2 hours of good consultancy advice.
And the 1st phone call with a potential Dubai client went well, but the 2nd call went terribly. The MD seemed to want me to already know his industry, travel news, which I don’t.
So I’m ‘stuck’ here in the UK, perhaps for another few years at least. Working with a great client now. Although it is still London and I’m bored of the place.
I am compelled by the buzz in Dubai and also emerging markets such as Brazil.
Destination Dubai… Perhaps by 2010.
