It is not just my comfort zone that expanded, it is myself who grew a lot as a human being. I am an open person to almost everything. Whatever comes my way, I welcome it with an open heart. Good or bad, easy or not, I try to take my lessons. More important, I do not get lost in difficult situations. After losing flights, being robbed, or getting malaria, there are very few things in life that can truly stress me out. And even when they do, I am still able to re-balance quickly, remembering who I am and what I stand for.
In my digital nomad life, I learned about new countries, cultures, food, festivals, and beliefs. I shifted my mindset from places I wanted to see, to things I wanted to learn. I dealt with loneliness, joy, sickness, fear, or success over these couple of years. Often on my own. Which made everything more intense. I learned to know that I am a very intense person myself, with strong opinions and beliefs. I managed to become more tolerant towards the others. I discovered I am actually someone who is still deeply attached to my family and friends. I challenged myself to become vulnerable and I have been. I fell in love with island life: heart foot, always with a bikini on and quite chill. I gave up drinking for several months. I calmed down, had rage attacks and calmed down once again. I became fluent in Spanish. I started diving. I hiked some incredible mountains.
Over these 5 years I became a better person and going out of my comfort zone played an important role.
