You only have one. From school to university to working in a global corporation, my life path had been conventional. What society has primed us to strive for. I was peaking in my career, based in Hong Kong. I was flying around Asia Pacific inside the world of high finance. However, I knew I had to search for a more authentic happiness. It’s my only life. The COVID craziness helped crystallise an array of deep philosophical thoughts gleaned from the wealth of wisdom now so easily accessible. Thoughts and impulses that I could no longer ignore. The decision was made: a world detour! One that would see our family travel the diameter of the world during a time of huge disruptions. This is a story of that journey. That search. Physically, from Hong Kong through Europe to the Sunshine Coast. Career-wise, from banker to chancer. Philosophically, from conventional to counter-narrative. I decided to write my own life script. I hope you enjoy it.
