I've been thinking recently, about a change of scenery. There is plan to open a new English school on the Sunshine Coast, and they (my bosses) have propositioned a move up there if it goes ahead. The area they are looking at is around Alexandra Headlands and Maroochydore, and the school would be really fun. They are looking to target the 18-25 backpacker market, Europeans. The school itself would be a school that would focus mainly on conversation skills, with no textbook. So a real hands-on school, where students would go out around the coast and have classes on the beach, learn practical skills. The idea is pretty radical for the English School scene, and we think it would be a bit of a front runner for the whole market.
They have asked if I would be interested in moving up there to run the Registrations, as they would want to staff it with people that are experienced... and I have been playing with the idea today. It would be a nice change of scenery to head up there. Live by the beach, different atmosphere from the city life. Hmm, yes it sounds quite nice.
You know, I realised the other day, I've lived in Brisbane for 7 years now!! Hah! Thats such a long time. Maybe it is the right time to think about heading somewhere new.
Actually, a lot of different ideas having been flying around in my mind... possible changes. Moving house, moving towns/cities, moving countries... (thinking about that European Passport I have lying around, or Canada...) Hmm.. yeah, feeling the need for a change at the moment. Well, not really, just thinking, dreaming, wondering about different paths.
A seachange would be quite nice, living by the ocean, trying out the beach lifestyle. And it would be close to E! That would be good... :)
I'd have to get a car and a license though... I could try the public transport, but if I seriously considered it, definitely would need some form of transportation. On the other hand, could maybe ride everywhere...

wow, a seachange!
i can't believe you've been in brisbane for 7 years already!
i agree a car and a license would be pretty handy there, the public transport isn't that great i think.
it would be really good being close to eileen too!
i think you should go for it! sounds fun!
sounds interesting! if you need a change go for it - it's your year.
It would be great to have you nearby! You're very welcome to stay with us. And I could drive you places - we could go to the beach or maybe into the hinterland, there are so many beautiful spots around here. It'd be so much fun!
I think the outdoors English school is a brilliant idea, it'd be so much better than learning in class because it's out and about that you need to know how to say stuff - it's a wonder more schools aren't doing that. If you get a chance to come up, you should do it!
