Travel: Diving Teacher Training

• Asia, Indonesia

• Career Break

  • May 2014 - Aug 2014

  After four years of Investment Banking I decided to take time off and reflect on my current career path. I trained to become a Rescue Diver and a PADI licensed diving teacher. The experience was invaluable as it allowed me to share my enthusiasm for diving and meet lots of interesting people. This time also helped me redefine what is important to me professionally and ultimately marked the beginning of my career switch into the Tech industry.
