In April 2018, elected to leave Goldman Sachs and pursue a lifelong dream to travel the world. Over the following 17+ months, traveled through over 40 countries across 4 continents. Encountered diverse cultures, explored extreme environments, and learned millennia of history at the source. It was at times challenging, exhausting and terrifying, but also thrilling, eye-opening and life-enriching. I would not trade those 17 months for anything in the world.
