As a matter of fact, we are on our first Innsitting assignment-long term. We owned and operated an Inn for four years and decided that we would like to try Innsitting as a career, so far its been quite interesting. Although its different because you don't make the decisions about certain things and when you have made certain decisions because you where your own boss its a transition. On the other hand, you do the same things you did at your Inn with the knowledge that you can leave it anytime you choose to (with notice of course) and in time we think we would be able to choose where to go and when to take time off.
Consider also that if you innsit, you go from place to place and it would makes a difference if you go for short term assignments or long term assignments-we choose a long term assignment this time. The transition of not knowing anyone, no family close by and only yourselves to rely on for everything is hard sometimes. I am homesick sometimes for family and friends but hopefully in time we will make friends here.
But, we've only been at it for aout a month.
