What do you do for work?

I work in marketing in the hospitality industry, but I left my job for a 4-month break that became a 7-month break (thank you, Unsettled!).

The best part of Unsettled is…

Without question, the people! It’s an amazing gift to explore a new place and new ideas with people that are so different on paper, yet so similar in open-mindedness, intellectual curiosity, and adventurous spirit.

Unsettled change my view on…

How I define career for myself going forward. Seeing myself through the eyes of a group of strangers (who quickly became family), gave me a new perspective on how I can bring value to the world.

Unsettled surrounded me with…

Opportunities to push myself out of my comfort zone again and again… intellectually, physically, and spiritually.

What did you like the most about the Unsettled community?

Realizing the amount of personal growth that’s made possible by turning a foreign place into home and turning strangers into family.
