Tim
Tim became inspired to take a year off after visiting Thailand, where he met backpackers from around the globe who told fantastic stories about their gap year adventures. The idea lingered in his head long after he returned home and realized he just couldn’t get by on a couple weeks of vacation a year. So when the small tech company he worked for went bankrupt, he decided to pack his bags and explore.
