Is this my life?: Last day in my home away from home

It's with mixed emotions I'm having my last day in my home away from home. Here I'm surrounded with friends and comfort at New Heaven Dive School. Have my home at Namhasin House. Asia Mood and Koppee restaurants, Why not bar, people you pass on the road say hello, offers you to give you a lift home.
I know that, as all the other times, that I will miss my home a lot and the wonderful lovely people.
But I also think that it will do me good to go somewhere else, learn how things work at another conservation centre, and also be able to contribute with my knowledge and experience with planning and logistics. Hopefully I can bring something good to my new place to be, make it run effectivly and smoothly so that time and money can be saved. Time that can be used to do more and money to be put back into the project to be used for more conservation efforts.
I'm very glad to know that I will have someone I call a friend at camp, I know that will make a big difference in a positive way.
I know I will have challenges with my new job, but most of them are caused by myself. Need to learn to delegate, and not work to much, but the biggest challenge will be having people around my 24/7, not being able to ever have dinner by myself and no privacy, except for the times when I'm in my tent. I have gotten more movies on my hard drive, thanks to one of the divemasters here, Chris. So when I need my own time I can watch movies in my tent.
Another things that's good about me leaving is that I can go forward from being a little unlucky in love. You know the feeling when you kind of like someone but then realise after a while that that person don't like you back, it was all a scam. I thought that I was to old and experienced for falling for stuff like that, but he played it well. Will be good to get over that in a new environment, instead of being reminded every day :)

TRACC will be interesting and a really good learning experience I think. I also know that what they're doing there is really good. I fully believe in what Professor Oakley is trying to do and the conservation work he and his team does.

Hope I will be a good and valuable new member to the team.

I know that I will come back here to my home when I have time for a holiday, and once again by part of the New Heaven team, both the conservation and dive school.

I feel really blessed having been able to come here and be part of the team, meeting some truly amazing people that not only care about you as a person but also have a strong passion for helping our oceans and land.
Who would have thought that my first volonteer holiday over here in August 2011 would lead to this totally new direction in my life.

I got presents from Bee, beautiful earrings, and a wonderful blouse from Vin.
Today I'm just hanging at the dive school, enjoying the pool and being with lovely Bua. At least I know she will be well taken care of. She's looking so healthy now, and she's getting more and more friendly and less shy. I know they have a really cool dog at the camp at TRACC called Monsoon, hopefully he's dog enough to be my Bua-substitute.
And tonight I'm going out with a few friends to Hacienda, I'm gonna eat to much really rare steak, and hopefully end the evening at Why Not Bar for a few Gin&Tonics.
Tomorrow morning Papa at Namhasin House will drive my to the pier where my journey to the next chapter in my life will start.
But a piece of my heart will stay right here on Koh Tao, together with my lovely friends.

I'll end this update with some photos taken on my latest dives.

Next update will be from Borneo!
