About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States

After finishing graduate school, I worked in a corporate job for 12 years. Starting July 2008 I have opted out and am trying out not working.

I absolutely loved my job but the only way to pursue the things I wanted to was to leave the job. And I wanted to do it before I turned 40.

The freedom to travel at a leisurely pace was one strong motivation in my decision to leave the corporate world. In my retirement blog I explore the implications of my sabbatical, and my travel blog is about the different aspects of travel that I am drawn towards.

Soul and Freedom

I found a sentence by the writer Chitra Fernando, which I think applies very nicely to myself as well.

“India gave me my soul, but the US gave me my freedom”, and added: “Without that freedom my soul would have shrivelled”. With apologies to Chitra Fernando.
