Back in college, I dreamed of helping my family and finding a path that felt truly mine.
I didn’t have it all figured out—but I knew I wanted a life that felt purposeful, creative, and free.

After getting offloaded trying to leave for Thailand the first time, I ended up working in Manila for almost two years.
It was tough—but it taught me resilience. It taught me to hustle.
And most of all, it reminded me why I started.

Eventually, I made it to Thailand and started teaching English.
I loved the classroom. I loved the kids. I loved connecting.

But deep down, I knew I wanted more.
I wanted a life that blended freedom, creativity, and impact—something that felt like mine.
