In this episode I am opening about a chapter of my life that shaped me the most: leaving my home country at a young age, alone, to chase something I couldn’t yet name. I didn’t have a roadmap. I didn’t have a safety net. What I did have was curiosity, an inner pull toward something bigger, something unknown.
In this epsiode I talk about
- why and how I decided to leave literally everything I had in my home country
- what it was really like to land in a foreign country with no family, friends and no idea what came next
- gap year that gave me all the skills to leap into the unknown
- how studying science abroad became my anchor, and why I changed my degree few times
- how running towards the curiosity shaped the person, and scientist, I am becoming
This isn’t just a story about travel, education, or career. It’s a reminder to my younger self –the one who had every reason to give up, but chose to believe that tomorrow could be better.
About choosing courage over comfort.
About trusting the version of you that doesn't exist yet.
About building a life from zero and realizing you are capable of more than you ever imagined.
If you’ve ever wondered what happens when you take the leap instead of waiting for certainty - this episode is for you.
Grab a cup of tea, sit with me, and let’s talk about leaving, arriving, breaking, rebuilding… and choosing yourself.
