“Hello, my name is Kesi! I am an Ivy Grad (Wharton, #UPennUKnow), and in 2015 I decided to quit my finance job in NYC to travel the world. I did not impulsively quit but planned and saved money for two years, with the idea of following the summer (your girl loves bikinis!) for a year. Somehow my 1-year career break turned into 6 years and counting. I’ve adapted to a nomadic lifestyle and have no plans to stop. I have learned the ins and outs of sustaining long-term travel and would love to inspire others to take a career break – whether it’s for 3 months, 1 year, or a fully nomadic lifestyle. 

I am still traveling because I’m addicted to meeting new people and immersing myself in the local culture. Traveling taught me to be open-minded and showed how humans from all walks of life could be highly giving. 

Let’s travel further and deeper (without breaking the bank )!”
