A bird in your hand is worth more than a thousand in the air. So they say.

Conventional wisdom says one must not quit before having landed a new job. I guess this is even more so when your legal status in a country hinges on that very job you ought not quit.

However, I’ve decided to be stupid and do the opposite. After much consultation with my wife, we’ve opted to roll the dice and follow an unsure path towards what we consider to be a better future.

Unfortunately, this decision has taken its first casualty: our life in The Netherlands will come to an end in January.

Its not easy to leave three years of your life behind, the friendships and even the culture you’ve grown to adopt a bit of. 

But we’re still young and now is the time. 

Interesting times ahead, my fellow flying birds.
