Seating at the window of the train, looking at the English country side passing by in front of my eyes I can’t help but ponder on where my life is heading. For right now I am en route to a two-day workshop in Winchester. A welcome change from the office. But back onto the main point. What should a single and slightly confused 30 year old man do with himself?

In this modern world of ours it has become very easy to live and travel abroad. And it is for the better. I consider myself very lucky to be able to experience different cultures. It also allows me to look back at my own culture with a bit of distance. The catch is that I don’t feel like I belong anywhere. In London I am just a foreigner like many others. In France I more and more feel like a stranger too. Very uncanny!

So what should I do? Well, the simple truth is I don’t know. I have very good friends in London so I guess I could stay here longer. But for how long? Or maybe I should go back to France. After a while I suppose I’ll feel less like an outsider. Or why not a new adventure in a different country? I could also renounce all material properties and retire to a Buddhist monastery in Tibet. Okay, maybe not. But the possibilities are almost endless and the question still wide open.

I guess a little more pondering is required…
