1. Living in Laos
This changed my perspective in an unbelievable way. I learned to let things go. I relaxed and learnt that being happy comes from social connections. I simplified my life. I became atheist.
2. University
I learnt so much during the first two years of university. The critical thinking and the ability to use information to make decisions consciously made me feel smarter. That and the friends I met too.
3. Travelling alone
I learnt to enjoy my own company. I also became more confident in talking to strangers, and make connections with travellers and others abroad. This has really paid off because I still can't find people to always travel with or even do things in Sydney with, so I need to do it alone. But really I discovered I'm never entirely alone, people that are happy to connect with me are everywhere, even under significant language barriers!
4. Working in a prison
I discovered a whole new section of society I had never seen. It makes me more curious about what's around me, and that things are not quite what they seem. The prisoners work making sandwiches, packing the salads for Woolies and QANTAS when I was working there.
5. Love
Fun to have someone you can rely on and do stuff with!
