Meanwhile, I set off on a solo travel to start looking for the "meaning of life" while backpacking across South and Central America. On this wild ride, I paused to reboot my brain by mastering a new lingo and soaking up diverse cultures from mountains to jungles, deserts to oceans. I picked up fresh life skills, like yoga and meditation, to transform into a zen-tastic traveler. I shared my nerdy know-how on solar and battery systems, lending a helping hand to local families by rigging up nifty projects like mountain hot tubs (okay, hot water systems) and turning salty ocean tears into desert-worthy drinking water. And through it all, I explored new ways to test my body's limits while giving my mind a much-needed vacation. Show less
