For most of my life, I pushed forward despite the odds. My childhood was not easy, and at 23, I made the decision to leave my home country in search of something bigger. Over the next decades, I built a career, traveled the world, and lived life on my terms. ​Then, suddenly, everything changed. In 2018, a car accident left me partially paralyzed in my left leg. I was forced to return to my home country, where I spent three years recovering—learning to walk again, battling constant nerve pain, and coming to terms with a body that no longer functioned the way it once did. Neuropathy became my reality—an invisible condition causing chronic pain, temperature sensitivity, and unpredictable flare-ups. It wasn’t just physical—it was isolating. The world wasn’t built for people like me. Workplaces weren’t flexible, and traditional careers didn’t fit my limitations. I had to find another way. That’s when I reinvented my life. I became a remote freelancer, creating a career that worked on my terms, my conditions. But I wasn’t just working for survival— I was fighting for my right to live fully again. Now, through Cold Country Traveling 2025, I’m proving that physical challenges don’t define us. I’m raising awareness for neuropathy and showing others that financial freedom is possible—no matter the obstacles. Because resilience isn’t just about surviving. It’s about creating a life that works for you.
