1. Locum work (aka releif work)
2. Emergency shift work

It's been a pretty wild year, just not in the travelling, vetting kind of way that I am used to. More in the sleep deprivation, cleaning poop kind of way, but as an oncall vet I guess I was kinda used to that already 😅

It's been great, but now I have a little more time to myself I am so keen to get back to sharing more international vet stories. 

Volunteering overseas may be on the backburner for me just now, but I have a whole bunch of international vet interviews and new volunteer opportunities to share from the vet community.

And while I've been away, TheRunawayVet.com stats have come in- you guys want more articles on 
- volunteering as a vet 🐶
- working overseas 🛩
- international vet nursing👩‍⚕️
- overcoming adversity to get into vet school 💪

So, stay tuned, and let's all share our adventures!
