New beginnings

Hello everybody!

I'm a Slovak girl (if I can call myself like this in my thirties) living in Switzerland for many years. I lived in Czech Republic and Belgium as well but Switzerland has stolen my heart.

I have been working in finance for 9 years but these are my last months as I'm on a garden leave now.

Having said that, you can imagine that I had a tough time to decide what to do further with my life..

I've been stuck in finance for so long but my passion has always been somewhere else. Are you asking where?

Let me tell you..

I was thinking about leaving my job for so long but I have never done it. You know the usual like secured monthly income, paying the bills, being afraid of taking the risk and many many more. I'm sure plenty of you can relate.

Now the decision was taken for me and I'm very happy that I can try to turn my passion into profession. I have really needed this kick from my life to start thinking about myself and what makes ME happy.

I will be traveling in next couple of months and sharing my impressions with you. My aim is to create vegan travel guides to make traveling easier for vegans, people in transition or anybody who loves good food.

I will also study raw cooking and hopefully open a vegan bistro next year (which would be my ultimate dream) but I will tell you more about it in the near future. I'll share my food pictures with you too :)

I hope you will like my posts. I'm looking forward to hearing from you and interacting with you!

Yes, this is the place that I'm coming from but now I live in Switzerland. Which is also not bad 😊
I'd love to learn to cook raw and share my meals with as many people as possible. Oh yes, I'm very excited and I believe in my plans.
Happy Sunday and let's keep in touch!

First of all, welcome to Steemit @delishtreats! Great username by the way.

Secondly, congratulations on leaving a job that wasn't igniting that spark in your life - so many things can stop us and keep us in unhappy places.

I wish you the best of luck in your new aspirations, I am following you now so I can keep up with your journey :)

Thank you for your nice words @gardeningchef. I really appreciate your comment. I do follow you now as well as I don't want to miss out on your posts :)
You are so right. We usually do what people expect us to do instead of following our dreams. I will now take a risk and pursue what I love. So exciting! I hope you're in your happy place too :)
I'm looking forward to our virtual friendship!
Have a lovely weekend!

Nice to meet you) I like the way your mind works. You are a very clever girl that left the usual work and try to turn your passion into profession, it's very bold) follow the dream no matter what😊

You are the first person who gave me advice and it turned out to be very good and efficient) I was wondering who you are) your story about yourself is very worthy and interesting) I think if all people followed their dream-passion - the world would be much happier, as in the film La belle verte (1996).
You can give me advice indefinitely) I'll certainly learn @dustsweeper, I'm very grateful to you)

Thank you!! You really are very kind :) I've checked your posts and they look much better!!! Another tip for you would be to post more pictures and more text. People like to see that you put some effort in your posts :) I'm sure your account will grow as you're getting better with every post!

in fact - I'm still not very kind, I still have something to work on above myself) and not be lazy)) Thank you for the warm words and support)

I am devouring your past posts right now, as I have always been incredibly interested in people's travels and the adventure they find through them.

You have not wasted those 9 years in finance...Your mind has been working on a grand-vision. I love the idea of the bistro too...I myself am actually vegetarian, although I do not drink milk either, well I do but it is almond/oat-milk.

I am incredibly excited to see where life takes you, amazing to have crossed paths with you 😁

I'm so glad you like them!

Sure, it was not a wasted time :) I learned so much that I can use for my bistro too.. It's just a little step from vegetarian to become vegan though ;)

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you will like my future adventures too!
