‘My Everest Base Camp Trek Got Me Out Of My Comfort Zone In More Ways Than One'
I plan two holidays every year – for a week or so each, and then about two to three weekend getaways. I am passionate about photography, so I use these travel opportunities to also work on my photo projects. To me, travel is a great way to explore the world, learn about new cultures, sample local cuisines, broaden my perspective and it is also a great destresser. Travel definitely builds several leadership traits – it takes us out of our comfort zone, broadens our perspective, makes us appreciate diversity, builds our situational adaptability and above all helps us connect better with people and with nature.
