Places of last 6 months

2008 is coming to its end and since it is quite boring during the night in the Riga airport, I decided to count the places I have been to this year:

Jan to May: Lived in Australia, Sydney
February: 2 weeks in Macedonia for International President Meeting (IPM), traveling in Greece and France.
May: Traveling from Australia to Estonia. Long travel that took some few days and took me through Abu Dhabi, France, Lithuania.
July: CEE MCPs meeting in Czech Republic, Prague
August: Traveling through Netherlands, Amsterdam to Brazil, Sao Paulo for International Congress (IC).
November: fun road trip with half of the MC team to Energy in Latvia.
December: Global Steering Team meeting in Netherlands, Rotterdam
CEE MCPs meeting in Turkey, Istanbul, with a lovely night in the Riga airport.


Looking at that I can truly say that I feel like a global citizen and someone who has the coolest job in the world.

My mom keeps on telling that during my university times she knew the way to Tallinn bus station even in her sleep, because she use to take me to Tallinn bus station every week, so that I could catch a bus to Tartu.
Now she is starting to know the way to Tallinn airport inside out, because she is taking me there almost the same often. For her, I have grown from student to a successful business person.

Anyone thinks that this is a job or a position that I should talk someone into or convince to take it up, should be insane I think.
Can you name me any other job, which lets you in the age of 25 to be part of global strategy making for an international organization, lead a national organization of 150 people, travel to more than 10 countries and build a strong network amongst future leaders of the world?
