If Not Now, When? My Journey Back to My Roots Thailand

After decades of hearing this question echo in my mind, I've finally found my answer.

Those closest to me know of my deep-seated desire to share Thailand's beauty through my eyes – to guide others through the wonders of my birth country while creating meaningful content along the way. It's been more than just a dream; it's been a calling patiently waiting on my bucket list, whispering "If not now, when?"

Finally, I'm taking that nerve-wracking leap to transform this vision into reality.

The catalyst? Thirty remarkable years in corporate radio marketing, spanning four markets – San Diego, Phoenix, Boise, and Tucson – gave me an incredible journey. But sometimes, life has its way of prompting reflection. The Covid pandemic became that watershed moment, forcing many of us, myself included, to reevaluate what truly matters. And to my radio family: THANK YOU for your unwavering support and generosity throughout these years! I wouldn’t be here without your acceptance.

Like many emerging from the post-lockdown fog, I reached a crystal-clear realization: family and health deserve the spotlight in my life's grand performance. This epiphany struck while I was in Tucson, Arizona, leading to what many considered an unconventional decision – stepping away from my secure position as marketing director to realign my body, mind, and soul.

The announcement of leaving a stable job I genuinely loved was met with raised eyebrows and lovingly concerned questions. But sometimes, growth requires embracing uncertainty. Yes, this leap into the unknown is terrifying, but it's also exhilarating. When my intuition screamed "LET'S GO!" – I finally listened. More on this topic in another blog. :)
