My inspiration...

One of my best friends Ken has been traveling the world for the past couple of years while working on Mega Yachts. He is the one that has really inspired me to follow my dream of traveling the globe. He was pursuing a career and had bought a condo, and then one day decided that he wanted to travel the world. So he packed his things and left. I didn’t understand how he could just take off from all of his responsibilities so easily. He made the decision, and left. Deep down I envied his fervent desire, and the fact that he wasn’t going to let anything hold him back from following his dream.

Ken has pushed me for the past couple of years to follow in his footsteps. I desperately wanted to go, but at the same time I was terrified. I came close to leaving around December of last year, but something was still holding me back. After everything I had been through in Las Vegas, I wanted to spend some time with my friends and family in Reno. I needed to be around them to help me recover from all of the anguish I had recently encountered. I don’t regret my decision to stay in Reno for the time I did. Being close to my family and friends has helped me to grow and learn from my past. I am a stronger person for everything that I have been through, and I believe that is why I now have the confidence to finally pursue my dream of traveling.

Thank you Ken for encouraging me to follow my dreams!
