I'm leaving Africa.
For lots of reasons. (I've hinted at things previously, I just wasn't ready to write about it.) I feel positive that going is the right move for me at the moment, but I will still find it hard to leave.
I am in denial about it really. There are a few people that I haven't told yet. Some I thought I had, but my mind was full of other things and I have just forgotten. Some, I just can't, yet. One person I found really hard to tell was my yoga teacher. (If I say it out loud, then it is really happening, isn't it?)
My yoga teacher, Oriane, is a teacher in every sense of the word. She challenges me in such a caring way and is passionate about sharing her knowledge with others (she also is good at making me feel bad if I don't do my homework...!) As I run, every yoga session leaves me breathless, telling my knees to just 'relax'. But these sessions have been one of my favourite things about living in Nairobi and I will truely miss them. Not just becuase of the yoga, but because of the friends I have met through the classes. If you are looking for a teacher in Nairobi, she it the best! (Her website).

I have been so blessed to meet such amazing people during my adventures here in Africa.
I'm sad to hear you are leaving, I was enjoying following your blog, but you have to do what is right for you. I'm sure your next adventure will be equally as good where ever in the world that is.
ReplyDeleteOh darn! You are leaving? Where you are heading next!? I hope wherever it is, you have as good a time as you did in Africa!
ReplyDeletePart of me is sad you are leaving. I have transported myself to that place as I read your posts. Can't wait to see what's in store for you.
ReplyDeleteI am excited to see what's coming next.... but it will be hard to leave and for that I'm sorry!
ReplyDeleteWhatever happens, can't wait to see what's in store. I know how hard saying good-bye is.. but you'll have sweet memories. (:
ReplyDeleteBig changes afoot! Where are you going?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments.
ReplyDeleteKyria and Mud - I am heading back to the land of sand and oil (doesn't sounds quite as good as milk and honey does it?)
Larissa- you are right-so sad to say goodbye, but I have to think of how lucky I am to have lived here in the first place
Best of luck to you. Looking forward to following along on your next adventure.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jenny!

ReplyDeleteLaura-lots of reasons-but pretty much all work related.
Hi Robyn - I am sure it is the right move for you at the right time :) I hope you will continue to write about your adventures - how I love reading them so :) XOL
ReplyDeletethanks Laura - not sure how 'adventurous' the move will be...but I will try and tell you about them all the same!
ReplyDeleteWow, like some of the other commenters, I'm a little surprised. You are not the only blogger I follow that is moving country, however. Good luck in whatever you do!
ReplyDeletethanks paul-a hard decision to make, even I am a little surprised!
