Storytime! Meet Egle, a Lithuanian girl who had it all – career, relationship, good salary, and bright future. By our society’s standards, she was successful! But unhappy. So she left everything she knew and went on an adventure to find her true self. This is her story.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n

Even though traveling was always part of my life, if anyone said that I would give up everything in my country and move to Thailand- I would never believe that.<\/p>\n

Before I lived a normal life, I moved from my hometown to the capital city after high school. I got a good job in an international company; I was thinking about my bright future, a vast career in the corporate world. I also was in a serious relationship, thinking of getting married and having kids like everyone else around us.<\/p>\n

But some part of me wasn\u2019t happy. I felt pressured to live this normal life – having kids, being a wife, having a good job, and buying a house with a mortgage. And I felt it wasn\u2019t me.  I felt lost.<\/p>\n

After 2 years of thinking and dreaming, I brought a one-way ticket to Bangkok. My plan was simple: 3 months traveling around Southeast Asia and finding myself. At that time, my main goal was to answer the self-realization question and find the purpose of life.  So, in 2019 September 18, I left for Bangkok for the 3 months adventure.<\/p>\n
