I, am here (in Puerto Plata), now for almost 2 years.
Before I came here, I had a building company in Spain for 5 years and was also a consultant to developers and communities fighting excessive or abusive development. Before that I lived 6 years in Southern Florida and was involved with investing in Real Estate too. And again before that I lived in Ecuador and participated in agricultural projects (balsa wood and later roses) as well some minor building... and, and and. Besides being multi lingual, I have a solid technical education and experience with marketing and sales and I have been able to apply and expand and all this at most locations around the world I lived and worked.
But here, I haven't really done much more but helping some kids to go to a decent school, doing some minor consulting work, teaching an architect how to draw roofs properly and investigating my region's real estate market only to come to the conclusion that I am not a buyer yet. I am also not yet ready to get used to not making money anymore.
I don't want to declare that I am bored, especially since it is my personal opinion that boredom is nothing but a self inflicted depressive disease or sign of mental numbness and I also don't want readers to feel invited to commiserate me on my currently developing state of mind... but yes, I do have that "and now what?" feeling.
So, should I post this on the "employment" section or just ask here: Am I the only one?
I would be interested in meeting people which are equally minded, pro-active at least.
I am looking to get myself involved in something which makes sense.
I could also imagine working for somebody or some company too but I am not sure this is the ideal route to find "employment".
Anyway... open thread.
(PM or e-mail welcome too)
