After resigning, I gifted myself a transformative gap month, journeying from the vibrant celebrations of the Mexican Day of the Dead to the awe-inspiring Argentine glaciers, waking up each morning in a new and enchanting land. When I sent a postcard with a stamp from the end of the world in Ushuaia, I suddenly grasped the profound meaning behind Sanmao’s words about “stories in the distance.”

Savoring freshly caught sea urchin at the bustling Lima seafood market, painting graffiti in an artist’s studio in a Rio favela, sipping fine wine while waiting for the aurora at a glacier hotel… Even three months after returning, I can still hear the soothing sound of the Amazon rain when I close my eyes at night.
Tips: Be sure to bring waterproof shoes! From the rainforest to the waterfalls, it feels like a daily water festival. Regret not bringing more scarves – they are essential for bargaining in Mexican markets and as vibrant photo props. Looking back at the photos I posted on social media, each one shouts, “Life is truly worth living!”
