The best decision of my life was to quit my job and backpack in Asia. It was a hard decision. Leaving everything behind is certainly not easy but traveling full-time has taught me so many things!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned to appreciate more the things I have, to be more patient and to have the courage to always follow my dreams. My journey led me to incredible places such as Indonesia<\/a><\/strong>, the Philippines<\/a><\/strong>, Vietnam<\/a><\/strong>, Japan<\/a><\/strong> and many others and the memories I created are priceless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I met incredible people and even though sometimes things don’t go as expected, those memories are the funniest after all. Who can forget having no accommodation in Jakarta or getting lost in Myanmar<\/a><\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
