Believe it or not, I didn’t grow up loving travel. In fact, I used to avoid it altogether thanks to a serious case of travel sickness. But something changed during my college years. While I wasn’t the one telling travel stories, I found myself drawn to them—through books, documentaries, and the spark of curiosity they lit in me. I took the courage to take the first step into an expedition.

At first, I journeyed alone not because I craved solitude, but because it was hard to find someone to travel with. So, I set off solo. What I found along the way were incredible people from every corner of the world—each with their own story, each teaching me something new. Those early solo adventures became some of the richest experiences of my life, filled with laughter, learning, and the kind of friendships that only the road can offer.

One of those fellow travelers turned out to be more than just a travel companion—he became my partner for life. Yes, we got married, and now we share this journey together, chasing sunsets, discovering new cultures, and collecting memories across the globe.

To date, I’ve explored 25 countries—and I’m just getting started. For me, the world is a living textbook, filled with lessons in culture, architecture, food, people, and art. I carry these lessons with me, not just as souvenirs, but as inspiration for how I teach, how I live, and how I connect with others.
Because learning is a lifelong journey.
And the world is full of lessons, waiting to be explored.
