Former suit. Worked in financial markets for more than 10 years. Mostly in asset management. Found no peace. I quit. Started travelling. Started reading. Started on a journey to find a simpler life. Started to meet people from all different backgrounds and all different cultures. Starting to find answers to all those big scary questions and having a ball along the way.
