I loved my advertising agency job โ high energy, high pressure, never the same day twice. It was exactly what I needed… until it wasn’t. Somewhere along the way, I realized I wanted something I hadn’t had room for in years: time. Space. Presence.
So, I built a different kind of life. One centered on slow travel and intentional living. Curious how I got here? That’s a story for another page. ๐
