It may sound a bit cliche but when I was 13 and worked at a bakery (a very well-known bakery to be exact: Bakkerij Hartog in Amsterdam), the elderly owner, Mr Hartog, gave me the valuable advice not listen to what everyone would tell me but to travel the world instead. He said that this would eventually broaden my horizon more than anything else. As the man proposed, I travelled the world. During my studies I lived in Vienna, Sydney and even spent a full year in Macau, China. I backpacked and did research all around Asia, the USA, Australia and went on a solo trip through Colombia. Not even to mention the trips through Europe. In short, I followed the old man’s advice. |
