For the past few months, I’ve been traveling the world. It has been – and still is – one of the most profound experiences of my life. Every day feels like a dream come true – if it weren’t for these particular situations I keep finding myself in. Even though traveling
After a long journey, I just arrived in Thailand to train my favorite martial arts (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai) for the coming weeks. I'm exhausted from the journey. Traveling for more than 24 hours is tough, but combine it with being sleep-deprived and you have a
