My First Blog
Ready to see the world!
In the next few weeks, a big milestone will kick in for me, 25 years of service with IAG New Zealand! Who would have thought a young woman, new to New Zealand, with no English, no insurance background, and a desire to learn and try new things would land in insurance and then make it her career?
It's safe to say, it has been a phenomenal experience, a roller coaster full of ups and downs, lots of big jobs done well, with many mistakes made along the way that led to growth and more growth.
After what’s been an amazing experience, I feel grateful and privileged to be able to do something uniquely special for my family and I. My husband Nebojsa and I have decided to take a well-deserved career break and do what we love doing the most – travel. I will return to work on 1 May 2024.
This trip will allow us to spend quality time with our loved ones who live overseas, give us new experiences as we explore a few countries and most importantly, give us the opportunity to celebrate life. This is our shout to ourselves for making it work in a new country, after coming from nothing to nothing and with nothing, raising two lovely human beings, Petra and Miroslav and making it work.
As we embark on our new adventure, I will be writing short travel blogs to capture memories, share experiences and show the beautiful world. Since I have never done anything like this, I am feeling anxious and excited, one and the same emotion just a different perspective. Safe travels to us!
