One of the things I love about my job, is seeing all that you've worked on for the past few months come to fruition. The planning process can be tough; especially when dealing with an unfamiliar country. You have a language barrier with vendors. different currencies to manage and are planning an event in a venue you've never seen. Then onsite, it's always really long and tough days, little sleep and usually some stress (as an event manager you put out a lot of unseen "fires"). But afterwards, it's an amazing feeling to see everything come together and all the hard work pay off.
Now I've reached the fun part: exploring a city I've never been to and experiencing new, exciting things. We usually have a staff dinner at the end of the conference to celebrate our hard work. So on Tuesday my colleagues and I went to a rooftop bar that has an amazing view of the city. The coolest part about it was that you can see Asia on the left and Europe on the right. And the beautiful Bosphorus in between!
Aaron just arrived this evening, so we will do more exploring tomorrow. Updates on Newlyweds Abroad will follow : )
