Career break

Travel

Mar 2022 – Mar 2022 · 0 mo · Iceland

Resigned a month before joining B-school, and made my 8-year-long dream of visiting Iceland come true. Completed a solo, self-drive road trip, around Iceland- from Reykjavík to Reykjavík, ~2000Km - in 12 days.
Making this trip happen, on a budget, required meticulous planning, and the raging pandemic made me confront my risk appetite (I had to book non-refundable return tickets in June 2021).
Learned valuable life lessons along the way, including but not limited to dreaming big, making decisions under uncertainty, planning trips, and managing money!
