About steph
Life is funny sometimes. Mine was following the mold. I grew up in a small town in the french speaking part of Switzerland. It was all about basketball for me back then. Later, my first employer sent me to the US for two years, and it was a huge experience. After moving back home, I settled into life like everybody else. I had a good job, a car and a nice place to live. In other words, the average Joe. I used my vacation time as well as I could, filling my backpack for all of a couple of weeks a year. But then something went wrong. I started thinking about this life. Was it really what I wanted? What I dreamed of when I was a kid?
Not really. I didn't want to be a firefighter either. Being a kid, I wanted to be a pilot. I wanted to fly, to go away. Well, becoming a pilot didn't happen, but I still wanted to see other places. I wanted to travel. So something in the life I was leading had to change. I wasn't going to make everybody's mistake and say that I'll have plenty of time to do everything I wanted once I'll be retired. It had to be now. And now for me was april of last year. Quit and sold everything, packed light and gone I was...
This trip is still going on. What should simply have been backpacking across Asia, became cycling through Tibet and the Himalayas. I was aiming for Japan, and I'm now heading Down Under. But as I read somewhere, you're not doing a trip, the trip is doing you.
