Helen Keller said that “Life is Either a daring Adventure or Nothing At All.” Mine started with a tragic experience to overcome. I just turned 18 when my dad tried to kill himself for the first time, out of the blue.

After two more suicidal attempts, he got released from his pain one year and a half later, leaving our family broken.

I lost all sense of identity, questioning everything around me while diving into a depression state. I reached a point where I had to decide to keep going down the spiral of depression or start a journey to rebuild myself.

I ended up looking for things to give me hope when I remembered a conversation I had with a friend when we were in High School. We were both dreaming of going live a new experience abroad and live our American dream.

It immediately reconnected me to this sense of purpose and hope to go after my first big adventure.

Five years later, I fully embraced adventure by traveling the world alone for one year visiting 17 countries.
