我们总是按部就班的规划人生，然后不遗余力的去按照计划执行。我们也总认为来日方长，时间很慢，未来还很远。但我们却屡屡忘记世事无常。

生活中会有各种各样的遗憾，今天Nandini告诉我们人生还有一种遗憾是没有做自己想做的事。

来自伦敦的Nandini，在北京生活了8年后，她抓住机会打破常规，裸辞休假七个月，去世界各地旅行，与亲人重聚，并从中寻找自我。Nandini鼓励我们把握每一刻，在生活中寻找快乐，而不要等待‘完美时刻’才开始行动。

让我们与Nandini一起踏上这段令人惊奇的冒险旅程。通过她的经历，我们探讨了自我反思和个人成长的力量，当我们在日常生活中，也可以利用这种力量，去开启我们不同的人生模式。

Today, we are joined by a remarkable guest, Nandini, who will take us on an inspiring adventure of self-discovery and exploration.

Nandini, originally from London, spent a total of eight years in Beijing, China where she has worked for governmental organizations, media organizations, and several other community organizations. However, seizing the opportunity to break free from the routine after nearly three uninterrupted years in China due to the Covid restrictions, she recently embarked on a seven-month sabbatical, which allowed her to travel, reconnect with loved ones, and prioritize personal growth.

In this episode, we dive into Nandini's experience of navigating life beyond the conventional path. We challenge the notion that travel should be reserved solely for retirement, and instead embrace the idea of living a fulfilling life in every phase. Through her stories, Nandini encourages us to seize the present and find joy in the journey, rather than waiting for the perfect moment.

Join us as we unravel the tales of Nandini's sabbatical adventure and delve into the valuable insights she gained along the way. Through her experiences, we explore the power of self-reflection, connection, and personal growth that can be harnessed when we take a break from the daily grind. Be inspired as we embark on this incredible journey with Nandini, discovering how a sabbatical can provide a transformative shift in perspective and open doors to a life lived to the fullest.
