    In my case Turkey. Probably Antalya rather than Istanbul but depends on what was available at the time.

    Having said that, he'd be more likely to go back to the middle east.

    I know a lot of contractors.

Outside of work, further study - for fun, advance my foreign language studies, pick up my guitar again, write small software apps and try and sell them - for fun, spend more time with my family, spend more daylight hours interacting with people instead of machines. I would like to become self-sustaining in terms of food: grow and catch my own.

    I think you have missed the boat on that one for about 70% of the world.
    Brussels or Turkey

    Sorry got a permie interview flashback with that question
    Sometimes if I feel stuck in a contract, I think of where I am going next. Then I stop feeling stuck, more on my way to somewhere else.
