I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and french-fried potatoes, big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer, good God almighty which way do I steer for my, cheeseburger in paradise….

Well, if your name is Joe Budzynski, you steer to a tiny island about 650 miles off the coast of North Carolina, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean:

Bermuda

I’ve been working for several months now on finding and securing an opportunity with my firm for an international assignment, and Bermuda is the location I am going to. I will be leaving sometime around the third week of August, and plan to stay for about two or three years. The only hiccup that can prevent me from going would be problems with my work permit application to the local government in Bermuda, so I am keeping my fingers crossed. But, for all intents and purposes at this time, I am moving there.

Why, might you ask? I’ve become more inclined over the past year or so to move away from the Metro Detroit area, and I’ve always had it in the back of my mind that an international assignment would be great (both personally and professionally). I missed out on the opportunity to study abroad while in college, and it’s one of the very few things I regret. As a result, when a great firm offers opportunities to pursue international assignments, I wasn’t going to let them pass by.

So, that’s the big news in my life at this time. I will be around Metro Detroit for the next couple months, then spend the first couple weeks in August visiting family and friends before I leave. I’ll also be sorting through my belongings and figure out what to take with me and what to leave behind. Many thanks to all those who helped me find, pursue, and decide on taking this opportunity; you know who you are. Thank you!
