• Travelling/Sabbatical

  • Jun 2016 - Feb 2017

  My wife and I traveled around the world after getting our CMA, CPA designations before really settling into a career. This was my first time outside of North America and really opened my eyes to new cultures and experiences that I wouldn't have had otherwise. The trip was 8 months total across SE Asia, Austrailia, and New Zealand, and pushed me every day to try new things and to constantly be outside my comfort zone. It was the perfect opportunity to recharge and explore the world before coming back to Vancouver. Show less
