Running after soccer balls, relationships, parties and good food. The year 2008 represents for me a life junction. It is the moment when I started to realize that all I was after was outer pleasures. I didn't change radically and wished to eradicate them in a day - they aren't bad things in themselves \u2013 but my life needed a rebalancing. \nThis kind of epiphany came up with a few shaky speed bumbs\u00a0: my 7 years relationship and 2 years work experience in Paris came to an end together, within a few weeks. <br><br>\nTime for a change\u00a0! I remember having the choice between being scared or exhilarated by the situation. I opted for the later and found myself totally free to give my existence the most exciting direction. \nThe movie \u201c\u00a0Into The Wild\u00a0\u201d mesmerized me and motivated me to aim for the unknown.\nRealizing that jobs related to my business school degree were not fulfilling my deepest desires, I asked myself the powerful question\u00a0: \u201c\u00a0What do I really want to do\u00a0?\u00a0\u201d  <br><br>\nTravel was the obvious answer and became my number one objective.\nFirst, I took the word travel in its external and geographical dimension, meaning exploring new countries.\nThe second aspect of travel, the inner adventure, would take a little longer to manifest. My girlfriend was right. I had always struggled to express my emotions. She thought I didn't want to. But actually, I didn't have the user's manual. No one had taught me and, although I desperately needed to get to know myself better, I didn't know how to do so. The years to come would help me to open to my internal world.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-cba8cfe elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"cba8cfe\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0e13344\" data-id=\"0e13344\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-496f2f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"496f2f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.6.5 - 27-04-2022 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/jivanyogalife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/travel1-700x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jivanyogalife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/travel1-700x1024.jpg 700w, https:\/\/jivanyogalife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/travel1-205x300.jpg 205w, https:\/\/jivanyogalife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/travel1-768x1123.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jivanyogalife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/travel1.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1221b6a\" data-id=\"1221b6a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b247ec elementor-position-top elementor-vertical-align-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"3b247ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h2 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">2009<\/h2><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">- Starting point of my interest for self development.
