Hi Martin,

This is Joe Huang from Taiwan.

How lucky I am to have met Martini at the end of my one-and-a-half-month break. I’ve been thinking a lot about my career journey — should I follow the usual path and stay in a big company for stability? But after much reflection, I realized that I should keep exploring different places before settling down.

I want to live abroad like you, moving from one project to another, traveling to different places. I’ve noticed that whenever I’m in a new country, I feel completely alive — every cell in my body seems to wake up, and I become full of energy. This is the kind of life I want.

Thank you for reaching out to me on my last day of vacation. Usually, I’m the one who starts conversations with strangers, but this time, it was you who reached out. That moment reinforced my dream of living and working abroad.

It was also a great coincidence that we talked about education and training. We both believe that education is not just about knowledge — it’s about hands-on skills, practice, and even changing our mindset and attitude. It was amazing to find someone who shares the same perspective.

I hope we get the chance to meet again and have more great conversations. Let’s keep in touch!
