🤔🤦♀️ Was this all a BIG mistake?
This was the question I asked myself not even 24hours after landing in Sri Lanka, a place I had dreamed of coming for many many years, a place I felt drawn to, a place I had convinced my husband to come for his long service leave…setting off full of hope and joy, ready for the challenge and the learnings, excited to embark on a yoga teaching gig in another country for a whole month.
