What’s something most people don’t know about you?

Many people imagine that I lead a charmed life, having traveled to countless places—from the deserts to the Arctic Circle, and almost everywhere in between. They see the exciting destinations and think about the incredible experiences I must have had. But what most people don’t know is the downside that comes with this lifestyle.

Behind the breathtaking views and adventurous stories are the challenging conditions and low living standards in many of the places where I work. Often, I’m cut off from civilization for weeks or even months at a time. The comforts of modern life are distant memories when you’re isolated in remote areas with minimal resources.

While I’m grateful for the unique experiences and the opportunity to see the world from different perspectives, it’s not always as glamorous as it seems. The hardships and isolation are the hidden truths that few people see. These experiences have taught me resilience and adaptability, but they’ve also shown me the stark realities that exist beyond the tourist spots.

So next time someone says how lucky I am to have been everywhere, I smile and think about the parts of my journey that remain unseen by most—a side of the world that has profoundly shaped who I am.

Thank you for reading.

Have a nice day

In the book of life, there are chapters that often remain hidden, unwritten stories that define who we are. Today, I’d like to share one such chapter from my own narrative, a chapter that might surprise those who know me well.

In my youth, I embarked on a journey that led me to an unexpected destination: the world of elder care. Most people may not know that I pursued a degree in a social science field with a specialization in elderly care. It’s a chapter of my life that is rarely unveiled, and I want to shed light on why it holds a special place in my heart.

During my time at college, I became deeply intrigued by the dynamics of aging, the challenges faced by the elderly, and the importance of providing compassionate care to this segment of the population. I dedicated myself to learning about gerontology, understanding the physical and psychological changes that occur as we age, and exploring the ways in which society can better support its senior citizens.

I graduated with a diploma in this field, but what followed was unexpected. Life took me on a different path, one that led me away from direct work in the realm of elder care. While I didn’t pursue a career in this field, the knowledge and empathy I gained during those years have had a lasting impact on me.

Elder care isn’t merely a subject I studied; it’s a perspective that informs my outlook on life. It instilled in me a deep respect for the elderly, a profound understanding of the challenges they face, and a commitment to fostering a society that values and supports its senior citizens.

This hidden chapter of my life serves as a reminder that our journeys are multifaceted, and the experiences we accumulate along the way shape our perspectives and values. So, while my path may have diverged from the world of elder care, the compassion and insights I gained during that time continue to resonate with me today, and I carry them with me in all that I do.

Thank you for reading.

Have a nice day
