Long time no post... I had quite a bloggade in the past days because I didn't really know what to write about that would fit into the concept of my blog and teach you something about things going on in the Internet. So I'll just tell you something personal instead:
I quit my job as per end of June. I've been working for five years in auditing and accounting advisory and just thought it was time for a change.
I don't really know exactly what I'm gonna do yet. I have two major options: the first is that I build up an interesting web 2.0 platform with two partners and the other is that my future husband and I leave everything behind in Switzerland and go for a windsurf world trip. Not that I've been unhappy, not at all. I enjoyed my job a lot. But sometimes you are just so much into something that you don't see that clear anymore what your other options are. I sometimes feel like a slave of my own calendar. I want to take a step back now to figure out what could fulfil me more than what I'm doing at the moment.
Now, my two options are really great and I don't think I have anything to lose.
Option 1 is interesting because I want to gain some broad entrepreneurial and management experience in setting up an own company. We are working on the business plan at the moment and will start looking for investors quite soon. If we find some investors, I guess option 1 will become reality... if we don't ->
Option 2 is also great because a big dream of mine would come true to go windsurfing for a longer while and travel the world. Maybe there is a small cottage somewhere beautiful and close the ocean waiting to be discovered ;) Whatever happens, it is definitely very exiting. I'm very much looking forward to not knowing my schedule 6 months in advance and to feel freedom. My new motto: Just do it.

good luck for the future. I always enjoy seeing when people break free and decide to try something different. It's something I've done at various points of my life. Sometimes with more success than others, but changes always bring new experiences which if you can learn from become positive influences further down the line.
I did the travel option, left everything and spent two years in Sweden and Spain. Took the new career path, and I went into the financial industry. Moved back to Spain. Took another new career path, and came into the retail industry. Took another career change and set up my own business. Went bankrupt and started all over back in the retail industry.
Lots of changes, some better than others but I don't regret any of them, they all brought me new learning experiences and help me develop a little more.
I always call it "Lifes University".
Sounds wonderful, Please keep everyone informed.
Hey c0ol Dania*

It's a tough decision, leaving a job. If you find yourself with too much time, you can always sweet-talk that future husband of yours into starting a family.
Then you'll never again worry about not being busy. ;-)
