Travelling the world has been a thought of probably every human being at some point in their life. But not everyone can afford it or has the courage or possibilities to do so. I am aware that my status in this world is highly privileged. I was born and raised in Switzerland, I was able to go to school and get educated very well, I am healthy and my family is very supportive. I have a stable income and I can do whatever I want to do in my free time.
My life was joyful and pleasant for a long time, until I realised that I became a workaholic. My brain was not able to switch off anymore and I became mentally and physically sick. My happiness disappeared and I only saw negativity in life. Luckily, I was able to realise early enough that this was a very unhealthy lifestyle. I decided to take a break from work. But not only that, I finally made the decision to follow my dreams of travelling and exploring new countries. I also procrastinated my wish to create a youtube channel until then, but now I finally had the energy and motivation to start. My skills in content creation and video editing are very limited, but I'm eager to improve and find the urge to strengthen those skills.
Making this decision was easy but only with the support of my fiancé who has my back at all times and gave made me realize that this is the perfect moment for us to do this step. Without him, I would be still working in my 8-5 job and would have burnet out already.
I use this journey as an opportunity to figure out if I'm on the right path and to see the world from a different perspective.
