After 9 years of career at the insurance company, I had enough. My world came to a halt, it just stopped spinning. I questioned the meaning of life, couldn't accept that this is my life and should be. 30 vacation days? - I can't believe it.
My decision to leave Germany cost me about 2 years and 6 months. Now I'm sitting here, currently in Australia (Northern Territory), and I don't regret a single second. 'Oh Lord forgive him' I cry out when I think about having to sit in the office now.
03.10.2019 - my departure day was approaching. 12:50 noon, while my mom was already waiting in the car outside, I was still packing in total stress. 'Why pack beforehand when it's also possible on the day of departure' was my motto here, which I of course regretted at that moment. I couldn't think straight anymore, my mind was spinning, my backpack was bursting at the seams.
The week before, I was worried about my Condor flight because of the looming insolvency, and now it was finally time to go. Quickly hugged my cat Carlooos tightly and said goodbye to my dad, I left my home with a feeling of fear and uncertainty. My 'plan' only includes a one-way ticket to Perth, God knows when I will see my home again.
