It’s been pretty hard keeping this one under wraps. I am bad at keeping secrets! So here it is:
Cubicle Throwdown – Changing Office Life for Whale Sharks!!
I have to thank Carmel for having friends in high places (aka PADI media specialists) who approached me to do this interview. For those that don’t know, PADI is the scuba diving training agency that I did all my certifications and teach under. This is a really big deal for me! PADI is a massive worldwide organization and I’m so flattered that they asked me to be a part of this. That’s a pretty big honor for a dive instructor. I’m hoping to make lots of new connections from this exposure – if you found my blog via my interview, comment below and say hi, and please follow along for all my future adventures (and misadventures) in paradise!
Thanks Steph!! I can't wait until we connect somewhere around the world and go diving 🙂
This is so fantastic! Congrats! Loved the interview—just makes me want to dive with you all the more one day! 😀
It was a great connection, she is an awesome chick. We've had some fun emails back and forth! Thanks for having such cool friends 🙂 And glad you picked up on the pros and cons. My job is really fun and I live somewhere cool, but it's way, WAY too easy to see it with rose-colored glasses!
Oh no! My comment was ousted!
I am so glad you and Megan connected. It was one of those "duh" moments once it happened…she loves travelers and diving, so it's a perfect match 🙂 Great interview about the pros and cons of your lifestyle. I think it was really balanced and realistic without sounding like you hate it.
Thanks Karisa! I thought so too haha. It was a big honor to be asked by such a big organization.
Thanks Agness!! Now you know how capable I am, come diving with me 🙂
That's so cool! 🙂
Great, well done!! xxxx
Thanks mom!! xoxo
Good for you Rika..great read!
Wow – LUCKY!! I would love to do that. I spent half the time telling Megan, the awesome lady who interviewed me, how cool her job was…although she seems to think mine is pretty good too 🙂 Thanks for the well wishes! xo
Congrats!! That is so excited 🙂 I had an internship with PADI for a year in university, and really loved it-they are such a good company! Can't wait to read your interview, and congrats again!!!
Hi everyone – Rika here. Just changed over the commenting system to Disqus and it's decided to be a jerk while importing, and label all previous comments on the site as a 'guest comment' and remove all comment/reply styling. Sorry about that. Oh well. Onward and upward from here out! Cheers!
Ahhh congrats girl! That's actually so effing exciting 🙂 Can't wait to read the article. x
Thanks Jacquie!! I'm so excited about it, it was an honor to be asked by such a big organization. Hope you enjoy the interview!
Congrats! Great interview! I'm so impressed with you courage to just pack-it, sell-it and ship out!
Thanks Jamie!! I hope to inspire others to do the same 🙂
Congrats 🙂
Thanks Jay! xo
