🎨 Impressions

The book sums up my current goal of traveling the world long-time. The goal for me is to work and travel to different places but doing so in a slower timeframe. Don’t really think of travel as vacation but as life. Keep an open mind and don’t plan everything in detail. One way of getting freedom to do this is getting time off in work contracts, or get a passive income running, or travel between jobs
