Torn Between Two Lovelies

In four days I am leaving Helena, Montana for Anchorage, Alaska where I have a job and an unparallelled adventure waiting for me.  Specifically just for me. Me.  Perfectly designed to fit the one and only, genuine, original me.  Unless...not.  Unless the job and opportunity in New Zealand is where I'll be when I get to where and what I am meant for in this, my season of This Is Big. 

I had decided not to complete the application for the position in New Zealand, but I received an e-mail today explaining that I had been "shortlisted" in the selection process and they would like to interview me over the phone SOON.  I'm sure this doesn't mean much to anyone who doesn't know how much I have dreamed about living in New Zealand for the last several years.  And how many times I had not thought of even visiting Alaska, until the opportunity to relocate to Anchorage landed in my arms with a giant heave-ho-let's-go!

NZ points to consider:  blindness field/adults, travel across the country, working in remote, as well as accessible urban areas, variety of public contact, culturally diverse living situations, magnificently stunning and indescribable natural environs, breathing sea level air (big, giant plus!)

AK points to consider:  blindness field/adults, travel across the state which is as big as a country, working in remote, as well as accessible urban areas, variety of public contact, culturally diverse living situations, magnificently stunning and indescribable natural environs, breathing sea level air (big, giant plus!)





Drum roll please...
