It's all about changes

I guess we all need them, from time to time. Maybe start to exercise because the safety wheel around your waist is too wide, start to learn new language or find a sentence you could say to many people in their native language, move to a different place, get a new job, meet new people or change an attitude and share your “Happy Banana time” with friends.

As for myself, I’m all living in changes now. Of course, coming to Sri Lanka was and still is the biggest change in my life. Nevertheless, after a month or more, I started to get use to such a life style, belong to society and do not pay too much attention to its reactions and daily comments towards me and my ‘alien’ look.

Competing with limited you

I thought I would never live anywhere out of Europe, I didn’t like spicy food and too hot weather. But I’m living in Sri Lanka now. Everyday I’m eating spicy food with my fingers, going work by two usually overcrowded busses, sweating like a hell there and doing other things I have never done in my life, like watching Cricket or Rugby. And I did participate in Marathon for the first time in my life.

Worth to try

And it leads to a thought that all limitations are self-imposed and if we are limited it’s just because we are too lazy at least to try. All boundaries are human-made and all our excuses are created to convince ourselves: too hard, too inconvenient, too big or rather too small, too far away and just impossible to overcome. Maybe. But what if it’s not?

To run a Marathon was a goal of this year. Well, I haven’t thought that this idea will be realized in Colombo.  Just wanted to try and feel it. By talking about Marathon I do not mean running all 42,196 km, although I would really like to, maybe some time later. But for it body needs to be trained more.

Starting from the beginning: my job!

It has been quite a long time since I wrote my first post and kept silence till now. Actually, there are so many things to tell, so many feelings to express, so many “wows” to describe. In this case I will try to do it in small steps – different posts. Let me start from probably the most important thing and purpose of my coming to Sri Lanka. That’s my job.

Incredible view, unfortunately, not from my window.

Living diversity

I came to Sri Lanka as an AIESEC intern. AIESEC is an international student organization which gives an opportunity to experience other cultures, life, meet new people, travel and live a different life.

There is no better time when that one you decided to take a first step to some changes. That’s what I wanted, what’s what I needed, what’s why I am here.

My company is called 361 Interactive. It’s event organizing company as a synergist. My task is to deal with MICE tourism sector. MICE (meetings, incentives, conventions, events) provide all service a client might need while he has a business meeting in Sri Lanka, starting from corporate events, ending with theme nights, sightseeing, interactive bonding, cocktail parties, Gala dinner and so forth. Lots of creativity, space to show your best, interactivity and fun. Needless to say, that I really enjoy my work, like the company and all challenges I have to overcome. My first impression says: there is no doubt that I’ve made a right decision.

Wouldn’t you like it if:
