Solving problems and creating ideas was fun, but there was still something lacking that corporate life was not fulfilling. 6 years of working in business and I was over it, there had to be more to life. Being sick of feeling lost, purposeless and directionless I took what was left of my savings after the days of hard work followed by champagne-filled nights and left everyone and everything I knew to hit the road. 2 years passed backpacking alone, I bussed all of South America from Brazil to the Galapagos and finished on the border of Congo, Uganda and Rwanda staring down a Mountain Gorilla. Had lengthy conversations with everyone that crossed my path and participated in every possible experience that opportunity threw my way. I couldn’t return to the bland city life after that, nor surround myself with the superficial, I lost interest in meaningless interaction. My travels finished, but my life has just started.
