“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” -Gustav Flaubert
Ever felt overwhelmed and stressed by work and your current situation? Well that was me. I decided to get a few friends together to go on a trip and read a series of books to change the way I think. I decided to challenge the way I see things and challenge myself by doing things out of my comfort zone.

3 years back I started a vision board and on it was a swimming with the whale sharks. I only realized this after when I recently found that vision board. It was unbelievable! I had completed one of my goals without knowing, it was an overwhelming experience to be up close with them. These gentle giants really left me in awe, to be able discover beautiful creatures we have on our planet I would recommend anyone to go and have this experience.
