When I was 18, I relocated from the UK to the Netherlands and whilst in the Netherlands, I fell in love with this gorgeous 6'5 Dutch man. We didn't date immediately but fast forward a couple of years later, we did start to date. We had immaculate dates. I'm talking European Christmas markets. It was a time. But something started to get strange and on the 31st of

December, he broke up with me. I was distraught. One of his reasons was that I loved social media too much and he didn't really know what to do with it. Weird. But my boss and I agreed that I needed to take some time off. I dyed my hair blonde and I booked a one-way flight to Thailand.

Whilst in Thailand, I go to Vietnam, I go to Cambodia, I go to Singapore, I go to Bali. I do the whole shebang. And it helped that I eventually moved to Hong Kong. So I kept traveling. Whilst in Hong Kong, COVID hits. And when COVID hits, I start to ask myself, what do I want from life?

I decided to resign from my banking job and relocate to Ghana to build a travel company. That travel company blows up. We generate seven figures in revenue. We're doing things for a bunch of chalets all over the world. Everything is just going so well. And when I think about that story, I remember my ex because my ex did that.
