so it's final. My search of many years where to settle down is finalized. It won't be Thailand, it won't be South America, it won't be Spain or Portugal (did you notice all those are warm destinations hehe?). After many years of wandering around, I decided to go for Bali.
Why Bali, some of my friends asked. Good question. Difficult to answer. Bali is certainly not the most sophisticated of places. Still struggling with internet, with good roads, with modern life. I guess I'll damn myself for choosing this place hahaha! But it's where my heart is. For one reason or another, I feel at peace there. I feel like I'm complete.
Time will tell if my instictive feelings are right. We'll give Bali the final test: we'll stay one month in a remote area, far away from partyzone (for which Bali is famous when you hear the Kuta and Legian and Seminyak tourists), and if my feeling will still the same after that stay, the decision will be final.
Yesterday, we had a long chat with a friend, who's a dentist here in Gent, Belgium. He's my age. He decided to sell his house, stop working, and start living a new life. I'm not ready for that. I still want to anchor myself in my office and my life in Belgium. But at the same time, I look forward to the new horizon that will harbour the final years of my life.
Thank you for staying with me during this travel and this search of wellbeing. As always, I highly appreciate your comments and insights, here on the blog or in private email.
hugs,
PB
