The digital age has transformed what it means to work and travel in 2024 and continues to welcome new possibilities with every coming year. This talk will get you to think about your own career and life and how you can take advantage of the technologies that make it easier than ever to work remotely, travel, or even both at the same time.
Tian’s travel stories are testaments to the fulfilling experience of finding opportunities in interesting places and the value of courage in the face of numerous rejections and setbacks. Despite the fear of the unknown, let’s say yes to ourselves, our future, and memories that will last a lifetime.
The talk will also delve into remote jobs options that sprung up as a result of the recent pandemic and into how modern technologies aid 21st-century travelers. Finally, the intersection between working and traveling will be discussed. Tian will add sprinkles of her anecdotal experience to spice up this talk.
