What Happened to 2018? A small Reflection of the Year so far.

Hello World and hello 2018, with a small reflection of the year 2017!

I have a Question what the hell happened to the first Quarter of the Year?
I mean really where has it gone, can you believe it is already April almost May?

I feel like these three month have passed in a blink of an eye and I did not do anything productive or worth mentioning.

Although that is a lie, but you know when you just feel like you have not done much.

I guess that means it is time for a small reflection of the year so far because what else would one do.

How stupid is that?

We always say that time is the most valuable thing that we have but a lot of the times we take it for granted. Like we don’t make the most of it.

Just WOW! Everytime we look at the clock it just ticks away, passing by us. In between there are hopefully a few pieces of Joy, Hope and moments of Laughter. But those are not the only factors that determine our life. Among the Happy moments there are times of exhaustion, tierdness and probably even a little fear.

But even if the year of 2018 is already happening and already on the role, this year will bring great things I can feel it.

This time like so many other times in my life, the reason however is quite simple, as to why the first quarter has passed so quickly. That does not mean it is all Garbage or Trash. Because sometimes we go these longer routes to the Destination, because there is a lesson or a view that we should not miss. Besides even Garbage can sit at beautiful views, we just need to look a little harder.

The Reason this time: Seasonal Work. This time working in Switzerland for the Season.

While it is very exiting and always an experience, you are moving to a new place each and every time. You have to make new Friendships, or decide every time if it is worth it this time. Exploring the new City, place and area around you can be more exhausting and time consuming as you may think.

And while working for a Season is great and will open many doors for you the glory and the red vail will soon wear off. You are after all living and working in one place and not moving. You will see the same places and have the same walk to work. PRETTY soon it will be normal. As normal as it is anywhere else. Because we do adjust and adapt and this involves adjusting to irregular working hours, and maybe not finding you groove as easily as you may think.

And you know what? As soon as the reality sets in and you have you groove after the whole Busy Season, and the exploration of the new place, the season is over. Like nothing happened, like the year has flown by in a blick of an eye!

Even though it is like two month late, I wanted to reflect in Photographs on the last part of 2017. Looking back there where and was a lot more Holidays than I can actually remember. And since a couple of years Michael von Erkunde die Welt has always done a Photoparade, that I am a great fan of, and the next one already starts in 6 weeks! WHAT?!

So sometimes the Motto is better late than never. But is is a great way for me to get back into the groove of Inkas Tour. I guess I am getting old, and working 3 weeks pretty much straight with a couple half days off it not my Jam anymore, besides I felt like I was ALWAYS tired.

So, Here is to the last 6 month of the Year 2017!

Among these are/ where even four Countries I had never been to before: Croatia, Bosnien Herzegovina, Slovenia and Ireland. But Austria, England, Spain and Germany were also among the countries.
