Where the time is 8.5 hours later than DC and jet lag is seriously hitting me…
Alas, James & I have begun the next stage of our marriage from half a globe away. Despite the challenges that we face in taking this step, it feels like a good move in our life paths. For more details on the position that I’ve taken please take a look at this post.
I arrived in Kabul yesterday afternoon, approximately 46 hrs after leaving DC, including 17 hours on a plane and a night in Dubai en route. Despite the rest in Dubai I’m still feeling the jet lag in a major way and will be headed back to my room for a cat nap in a bit.
One thing that did strike me on my travels over here was the reality that women are still so much of the minority when it comes to business travel. Coming into Dubai it felt like I was in the one percentile. Continuing on to Kabul it was a bit better but still noticeable none-the-less.
This seems interesting from a financial standpoint, for if men are still the ones to have first hand business contacts around the globe, how do women still manage to get ahead. I certainly don’t have all the answers but it certainly does give me food for thought.
More once I’ve managed to feel coherent again.
Best,
Miel
