DIVE DEEPER

The Journey

It all began with a simple yet profound realization: the life I was living wasn't my own. I looked around and saw the same old script playing out—finish school, get a degree, find a job, get married, raise kids, retire, then fade away. It was a path laid out by others, and I felt suffocated by its predictability. So, I decided to rewrite my narrative, placing happiness at the forefront of my journey.

This decision led me to a bold move: I quit a lucrative job in Dubai at the dawn of my career—a job that, despite its impressive paycheck, left my soul unfulfilled. It was time to explore alternative ways of living, to seek out what truly nourished my spirit. I embarked on a quest, traveling to find a life that resonated with me on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. Looking back, traveling turned out to be one of the best choices I ever made. It presented me with challenges and experiences that my structured upbringing had never prepared me for.

As I traveled, I immersed myself in diverse cultures and gathered invaluable skills. My first travels revealed to me a vision of life intertwined with nature's rhythms. I became enamored with the idea of community living, organic farming, and permaculture. I imagined myself as a farmer, living in harmony with the land. But during my year and a half on a Caribbean island, something unexpected happened.
