Where are they now?
I still remember those afternoons in the
scorching hot sun trying to study for my IB
exams, but often distracting myself by
pondering on my own ideas, writing a
diary entry, or a chapter in a future book.
Four years of Verdala, and then four years
of University followed; graduating in a
subject very far from creative writing and
fantasy: Business Management and
Economics. I soon discovered that no, that
was not the path I wanted to continue after
university.
Though I mastered my degree with
distinct grades, I decided against taking
the usual route of a job and flat and a car…
I went to Scotland to volunteer, living
without any more possessions than
necessary. Soon I was volunteering, living
and learning how to “live” in many
different, interesting places: from yoga
ashrams, to eco villages and farms all over
Europe. I backpacked, hitchhiked, and
even became a teacher for a year.
