The Trip That Changed My Life

Asia is wonderful. Everything has given me a new understanding of my life, from the food I ate to the people I met. I can not overcome the fact that I have traveled to the other side of the world yet. The school's curriculum has given me a lot of unforgettable experiences, and I have introduced myself to my friends who learn much about Asian culture and value my life. I know that there is a reason for me to go, and when I am there I will try to make full use of this opportunity. One of my most memorable experiences in Asia is meeting a doctor.

I finally went to Cambodia tour group. This trip has changed my life forever. I have experienced a lot of things I always remember in my heart. I saw a girl trafficked and went out to play with a raped girl. I approached a Buddhist temple and sat down in front of him. He ties a bracelet to my wrist and some words in his language, I handed him a few dollars to help with the repair of the temple. I went to a traveling Christian and told him to speak. Since we do not believe in the same God, obviously I should not donate to talk with Buddhism or restore a temple. That day I felt humiliated and I was ignored. I am very angry. I spent $ 2,000 to go to Cambodia.

One day, when my father took me on a trip and changed my life, everything changed. During the Cold War, I traveled all over Europe and went to Russia further. This journey made me realize the real face of the world. The time I play in the suburbs is only a part of the overall picture. More importantly, the privileged white male label suddenly became a "foreigner" or "tourist" brand. If you can not respect the culture and language of the area, Caucasians are not a kind of salvation. But it is not enough to just push the idea of ​​racial discrimination completely into the place where you can understand the pain that is the cause.

Five days later, I flew to South America and changed my life. During my 4 month backpacking trip I was in an incredible Inca Trail to Machu Picchu for a 4 day hike. Finally, I sat on the top of Wayna Picchu, reflecting my travel experience. I spent the most fulfilling time in my life and finally clicked: My revelation tells me that I have to start a digital business to achieve this autonomous lifestyle I will. Seven months later, I founded an advertising technology company called MonetizeMore. It currently offers this independent lifestyle to all members of our team and innovates with rapid artificial intelligence. Since then, its revenue has increased to $ 17 million and is a Google Certified Partner with over 100 full time team members worldwide.
