Whisk me back

My first entry was a picture of me showing the world wide web who I am. I’m not sure if that was a good idea as that’s something I would never have done in my earlier years. I’m really private. Not like those people who will tell you their whole life and more in one meeting. Nope most definitely not moi! It will take me a while before I divulge. To add i’m also wary of who I divulge to . Does anyone remember when the Internet first exploded. It was fantastic yes but along with the fascination came curiosity and doubt. People were reluctant to shop online, pay bills online, use Internet banking and even date online! Tales of Internet fraud and weirdos wanting relationships spread far and wide. But look at it today. Without the Internet I would have to go to HSBC to check my bank allowance, i’d sulk in despair when Mango doesn’t have that jump suit in my size in store, and be even more peed off that i have to add another £1 to postage fee to pay my parking fine via post!! It’s common to do everything online. Even online dating has become a norm! The busy, tired 24/7 London life style hardly gives you any scope to get to meet people! (unless you are lucky to find future husband/wife) seated opposite you on the Piccadilly line). I DIGRESS! But my bloggetes I have decided to talk to you… My name is Jennifer (Jen Jen) born in 19**, I work full time as a HR professional, more specifically Recruitment. The title of my blog reflects how I am feeling at this stage in my life. I’m asking the question…what else. I went to school, did my a levels, got into uni, did an MA, struggled to get my first HR job, finally (thank God) got a HR job, hated it, got a new HR job sort of kinda loving it but not…now I’m thinking what now? I would have loved to go travelling for a year but I had a job that paid me £200 a month! Where am I going with that. Maybe to Ireland. Realistically you need about £3000 to do an around the world trip. Only a few can part with that. So now I’m looking for a chance to spread my global wings in the working environment. I’m blessed to work for a large global charity. People on my team are constantly flying around the world. One day I want that to be me. I used to be obsessed with the idea of going to America to work but after seeing they work too hard and only get 2 weeks leave a year!? (yes it’s true) I was put right off. Live to work? NEH! Recently my heart has gone back to the motherland. I work closely with two people based in our East and West Africa offices. (Kenya) and (Senegal). I absolutely heart talking to them. They give me joy. Their perspective on things, their optimism and the sun :). I want to go to both Senegal, Kenya…expanding to Namibia, Gambia, Botswana, South Africa, Ethiopia, Algeria..all of those places :) I've agreed with my friend to do a tour of Africa. Can you imagine! I even want to work there! I do know it has it challenges. Serious challenges…buy i have to TRY! So after a very long introduction….the reasoning hopefully behind my blog name is now clear to you! I’m planning on blogging about anything so follow me on my journey…

P.S I love African print...I'm using this picture to represent my love for many things African
