I don't think I say enough about how awesome it is to be a medical traveling couple. Beyond having more time to see the sights, staying in one place for several months, having co-workers, a landlord, attending a local church, we meet such wonderful folks!
Our landlords have included us in family gatherings, given us trip suggestions, shared the names of good auto shops, and become good friends. Our adopted church family shares prayer requests, invites us to ALL the church and Sunday school functions, encourages our travels by showing interest, and gives us local "color." For instance, one of our Sunday school class members is going to bring us a document about the land we are living on having once been a working plantation. We knew it had been, but I'm dying of curiosity about this "document."
It's also nice, when we are in town and cross paths with these folks, to have them greet us as old friends. We wouldn't stay in one place long enough on a vacation to build these relationships. Between work and church, we immediately have major things in our life in common with others - it makes feeling "at home" easy.
On the other hand, being a medical traveler has given me the basis for this blog, and now we have readers in:
The U.S. (of course)
Russia
Germany
Canada
Spain
Philippines
Brazil
Columbia
South Korea
Latvia
We're lovin' it!!
