This is going to be a blog about international development… but instead of talking about new monitoring and evaluation techniques, or disaster risk reduction, I want to talk about the best bits and worst bits of living in the field: the food, the people, your health, your friendships – when I find some spare time…
I am living in the field right now and got the idea for this blog a few weeks ago, but right now I’m working pretty long days so I don’t have much time to devote to this side project, let alone anything else – which is the point of this blog! See, it’s coming together. I want to think and talk about out how to have a balanced life while living in the field. Time for exercise, sleep, relationships, good work – maybe even a side project!
If you’ve stumbled across this blog before its official launch, I hope you’ll watch this space. I think we could start a pretty interesting conversation.
