After 8 months of adventure in Asia, I came back to Belgium to start my first corporate job; and suddenly faced reverse culture shock, the transition from student life to adulthood, and the reality of office culture. In this episode, I reflect on the challenges of adapting without conforming, the fear of losing my freedom to travel, and the unexpected ways I still managed to explore Europe every weekend. I also dive into the contradictions of sustainability, from cheap flights to overpriced trains, and share what this year has taught me about balance, identity, and the life I truly want.
