Doubts before the Start! Part 2

This decision tore me apart inside. There were moments when I felt so overwhelmed that I almost gave up completely — and the following thoughts show exactly how close I was.

Option 1: A complete breach of trust with my current boss. No real motivation left to keep pushing toward my plan. And absolutely no guarantee that I’ll be able to move into the event industry afterwards.

It would be a massive step out of my comfort zone — one where you genuinely have no idea what awaits you. That’s what makes it terrifying, but at the same time strangely exciting.
And then the question kept echoing in my mind: Why do I even want to do Work and Travel? I could explore the country without forcing myself to work at all.

Option 2: Staying at my current company and quietly preparing for a future in the event industry. Learning languages at my own pace, building the skills I know I’ll need. Growing personally, in a place that gives me plenty of room to develop. And staying inside my comfort zone — the safe option, the familiar one.

Even though it wasn’t easy, I’ve finally made my decision — and for the first time in weeks, I feel a sense of calm settling in. The tension and nervousness of the past days were overwhelming, but now at least I know the direction I’m heading in.
Of course, I’ll keep asking myself: What if…?
But those questions follow us throughout life, especially when we make choices that can’t be undone. And even though the Canada decision is on a completely different scale, that question is simply part of the journey.
