What’s your latest passion or business side hustle? Do share with us more if any?
- I’ve expanded my own blogs to include topics about personal development, mental health, and spiritual growth. I am super excited about this and believe that these articles will undoubtedly help readers in their journey of self-discovery.
- I am also working with my father-in-law to revive the lost art of copper tinning (which is our family business). I wish to preserve this historical art form and eventually grow the business.
If there is 1 piece of advice you can give to travellers, what would it be?
Don’t view travel as an escape. Don’t run away from your everyday life in the name of travel. Instead, utilize travel as a means of self-discovery.
