Adventure with Purpose
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” — Howard Thurman
Hello!
I am Essie. Do you want to travel the world but have limited vacation time because of your full-time career? You may only have 2-4 weeks of vacation time to spread out within a year but you have these aspirations to travel & experience new cultures.
I am with you & totally understand your dilemma. I have been globe trotting for over twenty years, working a full-time job & I have spent many hours crafting my multi-country trips yearly where I have visited around 20 plus countries per year.
Like Europe, I was able to drive to 4 countries in one day! Check out my itinerary here on my Instagram
I follow these incredible travel bloggers that spend their lives traveling but I can’t fully relate to them because I have to go back to a physical work location. How about you?
Start Now
I am a manager at Publix Supermarkets & I have to be present physically at work. I have the privilege of meeting thousands of people per day, especially retired people & I always ask them now that they are free to live their dream, what are they doing now? Most of them say these two words: TRAVEL MORE
I think it’s so crazy that we spend 40 plus years saving up for retirement & get to enjoy our retirement for only 10-20 years. The average American lives 11-20 years after their retirements and end up giving it to their families. I am an advocate of saving & investing but I also keep the adventure of world travel in front of me.
So will you please start living your dream now? Travel is education without borders. The enriching experiences one can have sometimes needs to be outside of their culture & box. Let us remove ourselves from the daily hustle & take time to carve our dreams by making the decision that we will choose to live in the present.
This website is a travel journal of my lifetime experiences. I was once the little kid on the other side of the receiving end when missionaries came to my country, Malaysia to help & serve. I am excited to be on the other side of the giving end now because of the sacrifices these people made for kids like me.
If you are interested in making an impact or simply just want to travel, I hope this website inspires you to do so.
Let us begin, our adventures with purpose. Come with me?
Happy Travels,
Essie
