Life has its share: From phone-free globetrotting to quarantine

In early 2012, I left my comfortable job in an American neurotech start-up, got rid of my possessions, switched off my phone, and embarked on a round-the-world adventure. I bid goodbye to my home knowing that I would not have one for at least twelve months. Starting from New York, I had picked Frankfurt, Johannesburg, Beijing, Bangkok, Sydney and Rio de Janeiro as my stops. Other than the airline-mandated 1-year limit to complete my trip, I had no plan. Somehow, I managed to hit 36 countries and come back alive. As we all hunker down due to covid-19, the life lessons I learned during that frantic trip in Israel, Lebanon and Brazil are helping me cope with the anxiety of not knowing when things will be back to normal.
