After just finishing my MBA in Non-Profit Administration, I decided it was time to take a break and travel. Right now I am wandering the world, seeing new things, meeting new people and experiencing new cultures. Travel helps you learn about the world and about yourself. And, it's way better than working!
Right now, I am back home but soon I'll be hitting the road again- first to Europe, then to China, then to Southeast Asia, and then who knows!
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the
things you didn't do than the ones you did. So throw off
the bowliness. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the
trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
