Starting up my small business, I think it’s important to have a great personal relationship with my clients as well as a professional one.
Who am I outside of work?
I believe I need to share the face of my small business and the best way to do that is to express my passion. In actuality, this passion also led me to be on the career path I am today.
For many years, I saved up to achieve my dreams and travel. In January of 2022, I quit my long-term, 4-year job. I visited some friends and family in Spain and France before spending 3 months in the USA. I travelled Coast-to-Coast and went to 14 states including; New York, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, California, Oregon, and Hawaii. There I walked the streets of many charming cities like New York City, Las Vegas, and Chicago. I hiked and explored many enthralling National Parks including Bryce Canyon, Yellowstone and Grand Canyon, and was captivated by the beauty of nature found in Niagara Falls, Badlands and Kauai. Throughout the rest of 2022-2023, I had more personal time in the US and more opportunities to explore more of Oregon and Washington State 🇺🇸.
I have also just returned from my travels around South East Asia which was between January - March 2024. I went to Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines 🌏. Each country was incredibly insightful and I had the opportunity to experience a variety of cultures that opened my eyes and mind to so many wonders of life. I experienced staying in two homestays with local families in remote villages, endured adventurous activities such as hiking, kayaking and a hot air balloon, and completed my PADI Open Water Scuba Diving course in the Philippines which all inspired me to volunteer in the future for different projects.
After I travelled in 2022, I fell into my path of pet sitting and I believe if I didn’t take the leap and quit my previous job to travel when I did, perhaps I wouldn’t be where I am today and for that risk, I decided to take, I will be forever grateful and I cannot wait to continue growing my connections 🐾.
