People assume I'm on vacation.
The truth?
This wasn't a vacation.
This was just another workday.
My office simply happened to be an airport.
One thing I'll always be grateful for...
is finding work that fits the life I wanted to live.
So no...
I don't spend my days waiting for weekends.
Because when you build a life you genuinely enjoy...
Ordinary days start feeling a little like a vacation.
Living life on my own terms in my 20s...
Will always be one of the best decisions I've made.
