After experiencing a tough breakup and losing her job, she decided to travel full-time starting in 2024. Although she hoped that traveling would cure her anxiety, she realized it didn't completely go away. Instead, traveling helped her change the way she thinks about her anxiety and live with it better. During her travels, she learned from different cultures and people, which helped her see that anxiety doesn't have to control her life. For example, she discovered that living in the moment and accepting uncertainty can be more important than worrying about the future. While she still has anxious thoughts, she has become better at managing them and enjoying her life without needing to know exactly what will happen next. Overall, travel provided her with new perspectives and coping strategies, rather than a cure for her anxiety.
