📌19:50 Jessica Józewkiewicz ➡️ A journey to Patagonia 🇨🇱 that was never meant to be a “budget trip” — ended up teaching the importance of simplicity, resilience, and what we truly need in life.
After burning out as a junior doctor, I left behind hospital corridors and joined an adventure guide program in Patagonia. Despite arriving completely underprepared — with questionable gear choices, no real backpacking experience, and little understanding of what I was really about to step into— I found myself living out of a backpack for days, climbing granite walls, hiking through wild landscapes, and learning to adapt outside my comfort zone.
This talk will share stories from Patagonia: the adventures and lessons learned along the way — and how stripping life back to the basics changed my perspective on success, comfort, and happiness.
