How I landed in Athens
Leaving Chengdu on a quick note was totally unplanned and unexpected, so you can imagine what an outstanding plan I had. NO plan at all. Flying to Slovenia was the only plan.
I really wanted to work on a cruise ship as a DJ (story about how I became a DJ will be posted too, because it's simply epic). I was working towards it, it was a brilliant idea, where I could travel and do what I love the most at the same time. In the end I didn't get the job, the competition was merciless. That was literally my dream job. Music and travel.
Was I disappointed? I was, big time, because I was super confident I will get this job. I sat at home sulking for quite some time. Then things went from zero to one hundred real fast. My friend saw a job listing in Greece, I didn't want to apply, she pushed me, CV was sent, they called the next day, got the interview the same day, arranged the rest in following two days and within a week I packed and left (actually repacked the suitcase from China, which I hardly opened).
I kept on saying to myself, if I go back to Europe I want to live either in Greece or Spain. I believe I have manifested it throughout the years.
But let me just use a common Chinese phrase for it: "是缘分." It is fate.
