The Gulf’s Family Living Room
I’m sitting at Muscat International Airport, about to end the chapter in the place it all started. I said goodbye to the two gentlemen who have accompanied me throughout, and who will be carrying the torch onward until they too make their move to continue on their own paths.
There is a mix of emotions, sitting here with the woman I love, about to start our own journey that I know with certainty is the one that must be made. But still aching at the imminent goodbye to a place that I have called home. It was a journey to get to that home feeling too, but once it was made, I felt like I was in a comfortable family living room.
To me, that seems most accurate description for what Oman really is. It is at once a beautifully ornate, warm and accepting place, where you walk right in and feel at ease. I will never forget the way Oman welcomed and accepted me.
In my final posting in Oman – the last of the posts that have expressed quite closely every aspect of my emotional and physical state in Oman – I must express my gratitude and eternal respect and love for two of the finest individuals I have ever met. Jihad and Hassan, you have made my Oman experience what it is, and left me forever with a warm place in my heart for you and Oman. Rest assured that I will be Oman’s biggest advocate wherever I go.
To my team, Brett, David and Katy – you will continue to do incredible things in your work for AIESEC and for anything else you choose to dedicate yourselves to. It has been an honor to work with each one of you. Thank you for your friendship and support throughout this adventure.
My love and respect will be with you all.
