13. Amazing things happen every day. You just need to keep your eyes open and be unafraid to look. Countless times in this trip, I’ve slowed down (usually by force) on long bus rides or other places. In those slower moments you can appreciate things more and notice incredible things. Maybe someone giving some foodContinue reading “13 Days”
Hiking with New Friends
So for this post, I’d like to focus on about 2 weeks of time. These two weeks were one of my most highly anticipated ones, right next to spending time in Colombia for what I think to be obvious reasons. But was the time I’d be spending in and around Torres del Paine national park.Continue reading “Hiking with New Friends”

14. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. And definitely don’t be afraid of fixing mistakes. The only thing worse than not making a decision for fear of consequence is ignoring a consequence.

We’ve needed to judge our surroundings for survival and many other reasons in human history but it can also be toxicContinue reading “16 Days”

17. Rely on others. Without them, you wouldn’t be able to achieve all that you have until now. Don’t be foolish enough to think you are better alone. We live in such an individualistic society that it’s easy to take credit for most of our achievements or at the very least show a strong desireContinue reading “17 Days”

18. Be the best version of yourself. People will notice and you may even inspire others to do the same without words. I’ve been very fortunate in this aspect, I’ve had so much glowing support during this trip from loved ones back home and also from people I’ve met throughout. You never know when youContinue reading “18 Days”

19. Be uncomfortable. When you find out what your greatest weaknesses are, you will discover your truest strengths. You only need the courage to see yourself in the mirror. At one point, I was thinking to do a walk on the edge of a platform atop a skyscraper as an excursion. I was nervous butContinue reading “19 Days”
