Of no fixed abode (and unemployed)


Once again, with great excitement, and at this stage only a little trepidation, I am of no fixed abode.  I have now moved out of my flat, and as of yesterday I am unemployed.

I have lived and worked in London for just over a year now.  While I have loved many things about London, I feel in need of some time away and I have decided to give up the lawyering for a bit to spend four months in Africa.  

I get the sense that resigning from a perfectly good, well-paid, job (especially during the the Big 'R') isn't necessarily the usual course people follow, especially in England.  However, at the end of the day, London isn't going anywhere and if I don't take the time out now, I might never. 

So, tomorrow I will be flying to Kampala, Uganda for two months of teaching in a school there, followed by two months of traveling, where I will wind up in Cape Town, before flying back to London.

I am still in two minds about blogging and I can't promise that I will keep it up, but long may it last and happy reading.
