We talk about growing up without internet, being taught that less is enough, and how exposure to the outside world can quietly change everything.This isn’t a story about choosing to move abroad — it’s about choosing to leave. About trusting strangers, setting impossible goals, and doing whatever it takes when staying is no longer an option. From Cuba to Vietnam, this conversation dives into luck vs. preparation, the power of mindset, and why sometimes you have to stop listening to everyone else to save yourself.Guest Info: Instagram: @yen_11.11
