What is Your Life’s Detour?

My work experience in the *Middle East* was a test of endurance, likewise, I would say, it’s survival to the fittest. During summer, you felt like being roasted due to extreme heat that even spending outside for 5-10 minutes was intensely impossible or you would suffer from a head stroke, oh by the way, you need to stay hydrated most of the time too.

Now, you think it might be an exaggeration, but we never stroll around *Doha* during summer time thus we needed to wait for winter before we could walk around *Aspire Park*. *Our jogging session, brisk walking outdoor were also seasonal.* So for the first two years, mama mia I was like, “*I need to go out. It’s too hot and I am roasting.”* *Lo and behold, God must have heard my prayers when my ex-boyfriend (now my hubby) invited me for 14 days holiday*s in his country.

*You can’t imagine the excitement I felt when I went to Seychelles for the first time since I set foot in an Arabian Peninsula. I was like a kid given candy that I can't help feeling so elated. Oh I remembered that moment when my plane touched down Seychelles International Airport on a rainy December.* *You want to know why?* haha for a very obvious reason that at last I can see mountains, beaches and greeneries, most of all, I experienced *RAIN! oh jeez even our students were so ignorant what rain looked and felt like and we have to let them experience drizzling even for a moment.*

Take a look at some of the amazing beaches Seychelles could offer to the world. Actually they consider this country, *"Paradise on Earth!" and I was really amazed.*

Contrary to the reality from the Middle East, you could visualise an opposite pole alike from North to South, or like day and night, hot and cold, sunny and rainy? I could go on and on lol! Coming from a desert it’s time to venture out a beach. Woots!

You see Rcians, I grow up and worked all my life in a metropolitan in my country, went overseas to an extreme heat, and had a two weeks staycation in an island life ( *okay this part I have to share on my next blog because I never lived in an island.)* *I am so used to the hustle and the busy life in the city wherein staying in Mahe was a total DETOUR. Like a total shift from gear one to four! You bet how the clean and green in the country is just so amazing that on a weekend we have to bring our baby for a road trip.* https://lbry.tv/@PatSky2783:4/SeychellesNature:1?r=G5NB9Bwq1L1FWcLfgonkgv4Fb6yTwDKi So guys, what about you?
