"Just because you don't know and aren't familiar with it, doesn't mean you should fear it...Try to understand how it's different and what's going on, because it's normal to someone else." - Sophia Iaquinta
While you met Sophia in Part 1 or our conversation, you didn't learn much about her background. Thus, we start by discussing more on Sophia’s story and insights from her travels.
After working as a nurse in a hospital Medical Intensive Care Unit for two years, she looked for other alternatives.
Particularly, alternatives that combined her passions for traveling and helping others.
This led her to apply for and accept a role with the Peace Corps in Guatemala starting February 2018.
Creating a window for four-months to travel before her start date, she packed her bags and began a solo trip around Asia.
In Part 2, some of the things we discuss include:
- Packing light and efficiently for months on the road
- Ensuring safety and diverting unwanted attention
- Trying to understand your fears
- Creating your own experiences
- Readapting into your home culture
and so much more.
