Leave the world better than you found it


 

Although the decision of quitting everything and traveling around the world came about relatively quickly, I believe it took a life-time preparation to be actually ready to even think about that. In one of our presentations I share crucial life events, milestones which brought me where I am today. Each #MileStoneExperience taught me something which proved crucial in our current life style. I created a series of posts to share with you those important moments and learnings. First and foremost turning point happened when I was 8 and a classmate of mine invited me for a scout meeting. Actually it was quite boring - about scout rules - but I immediately fell in love with the people, the atmosphere and the leader of the team, which till today is a close friend. I could write hundreds of pages about what I’ve learned thanks to scouting. I would literally be a completely different person if not for this movement. It’s in scouting that I developed crucial social skills like teamwork, creativity, leadership. It’s in scouting that I could try and fail and try again, checking what I like, what I’m good at, what I want to do in the future. It’s in scouting that I met people who told me "You can", and always believe in me. It’s in scouting that I implemented my first social projects, I tried out some crazy ideas, I became a leader at a very young age and I pushed myself far out of the comfort zone. It’s in scouting that I met my closest friends, with whom we spent countless hours speaking about life, values, dreams. Scouting taught me to think and speak about important issues, to act for others and to do my best. But the most important - and I would underline it as life changing learning - scouting gave me the passion to leave this world better than I found it. It became my life motto and a sort of road post which I follow till today. It’s in scouting that I learned to be changemaker. PS. Happy World Thinking Day, sisters and brothers from around the world.
