When I told NFER I wanted to work abroad for a year they thought that it would be great professional development - that I would develop new research skills. Personally, I thought that spending a year abroad would be great for my social skills - that I would develop new people skills.
These two aims have certainly been achieved, but no-one predicted the number of new sporting skills I would develop. First there was the scuba diving in Thailand, then surfing in Indonesia, and now I am in New Zealand learning to snowboard. Admittedly, my snowboarding skills have not developed quite as fast as the scuba skills, & they certainly have been a lot more painful to develop. But it's all good fun! So snowboarding can now be added to the list of skill that I've developed this year & will keep with me for the rest of my life.
